So I went to an interesting event at the Heart O’ [sic] Texas Fair & Rodeo – apparently the National Wiener Dog Race. It may be the international, but probably every dachsund in the area was there. Of course, it was sponsored by Wienerschnitzel. Many of the short-legged pooches ran their fastest, but some [...]

Just a quick review of this brave motion picture effort.. Go.. See.. This.. Movie. Seriously, don’t expect phenomenal acting, but they’re still pretty darn good. The story is great and everyone does a good job of getting the story across without being cheezy. It’s written, directed, produced, and casted with mostly church staff. [...]

I am now officially in the first page of results for the Google search “Jerry Knight”. I’m fifth – still behind R&B guy and Washington Post guy, but I guess Google likes my About Me page. For some strange and pathetic reason, that really makes my day. It seemed wrong that “jerryknight.com” [...]

Tried another panorama, this time on Baylor campus, and this time using the wide angle lens. I had tried a similar shot earlier using the 28mm lens, but the number of shots required made the panorama very hard to construct. I found other problems while trying to stitch the wide angle shots, though. [...]

“It’s not bragging if it’s true..”What? Yes it is! Bragging is only bragging if it’s true. If it’s not true, it’s called something else: lying, deception, exaggeration – take your pick. Who writes this stuff?I think they’re trying to play off the old adage, “It’s not paranoia if they really are [...]

I decided to use some extra income and splurge on a new lens. It’s been ages since I’ve made any changes to my lens collection, and I’ve been eying this lens for a while. Stay tuned for some w—i—d—e angled pics!  Click the lens for more pics.

I’m speaking, of course, of the Da Vinci Code movie. I saw it over the weekend and I thought it was along the same lines as National Treasure. It’s a good story, if that’s all you take it to be: a fictional story. Having not read the book, I assume that the [...]

Wow, I’ve never heard of a “gamma” status for software. So far I haven’t noticed anything but cosmetic differences from Flickr Beta. Just a reorganization – a new top nav thingy. Hopefully some of that Yahoo R&D funding will turn out some more improvements. Update: Dave is right. The Organizr is much much [...]

“No phone for you!” Cingular’s upgrade dates are now chiseled in stone, apparently. They seem to think it’s too risky to sell me another phone and extend my contract, even though my current contract isn’t up yet. It makes no sense. I’m not sure if I want to fight the battle or just [...]

Apparently, I’ve been tagged. I’m not sure I even have 15 things to say about books. Despite being a techno-whatever, I have an easier time reading lots of text from a book rather than the computer screen. In English/literature classes, I had a hard time completely reading anything that was assigned. Skimming was my friend. The [...]
