An update in the life of Justin

July 12 was my birthday. I am now an adult. Kind of weird. At least I can put Google Adsense on here now.

For my birthday My parents gave me $300 to put toward whatever I wanted. I bought myself a 320GB hard drive for my MacBook because I had filled up my 120GB drive. I managed to find a Firewire/USB enclosure for my old hard drive so I purchased that as well. My hard drive has been great so far, and I am loving my Firewire enclosure, it’s so much faster than USB.

Today I purchased a new iPod. I had filled up my good ol’ 30GB 5.5 generation iPod to the brim, so I thought I’d by a new one. I went with a silver 80GB iPod Classic. I’m really happy with it so far. The new UI is very slick and the whole metal case makes it feel like a rock solid device. Eventually I’ll post a write-up similar to the one I did on my new MacBook a while back about what I’m loving and hating with my new iPod.

Later days!

HDR Photography

Recently my family purchased a digital SLR. Needless to say, I love messing around with our new Nikon D60. While I was over at Pismo Beach two weeks ago I went on a little hunt for some scenes that I thought would make great HDR photos and came up with two great looking pictures.

hdr beach entrance
I personally love the HDR entrance to Pismo Beach. It looks very creepy to me, but that’s why I like it so much. It is currently the wallpaper on both of my monitors.
hdr trees
I do like the HDR trees as well, but it isn’t my personal favorite.
