Coryn & Dad at the Koln (Cologne) Cathedral - Some very cool pictures
By Andrew Pollack on 03/03/2009 at 11:22 AM ESTI had some challenges in taking these pictures -- you can't use a flash inside the dimly lit Cathedral, for example. These were all taken with my little Casio EXILIM pocket camera without flash or tripod. Where possible, I held the camera against something stationary and gave the shutter as much time as possible.

One trick I saw that was cool -- a length of thin cable or wire connected to a
bolt sized to fit as a tripod connector on the camera. You attach it to the
camera, let it dangle to the ground, and step on the end. The simply hold the
keeping tension on that line. It isn't perfect by any means, but it can make a
difference in dim light and is extremely portable.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
