Volkmann Custom, custom-made pistols. Their stuff was for sale at the place I picked up my Sig. Gorgeous is the word I'd use to describe them (followed quickly by "expensive"). Not sure I'd ever want to actually shoot one considering the cost, but they really are fantastic looking machines.     #>


Saturday night Jane and I headed out to go see Crazy Bag. It's a one-woman show written and performed by a friend I made off Flickr, Murphy Funkhouser. She had started out commenting on some of my photos and I did the same and I ended up doing a photo shoot with her at the house.

The show is good, funny and moving (Jane got teared up and started crying at one point) and is definitely worth seeing if you are near one of the towns it's traveling to. Oh, and I was listed as a photo contributor in the program, something I find very cool.     #>


Had dinner last Friday night with an old high school friend who is currently living in Sitka, Alaska. I think Jane and I are going to try and take a trip up there to visit, maybe next spring...     #>


Grizzly Lake - St. Elmo, Colorado. Looks nice, I might head up there...     #>

IrfanView 4.20 released, gets a minor facelift. IrfanView is generally the first application I install on any new machine I get, it's so useful and fast that it's a requirement for me to have.     #>


Wow: Leopard Vs. Crocodile. More photos: leopard vs. crocodile pics.     #>


Pikes Peak Weather Statistics. It's chilly at 14,000 feet; the average in the hottest month is still below 50 degrees.     #>


I May Have Found The Ultimate “David Hobby” Lighting Kit Bag. I just use a $10 baseball bat bag from the local sporting goods shop, works great. This might be a better idea for actual travel though, the padded case would work for airline travel...     #>
