Hands-on: Manfrotto 732CY Low-Cost Carbon Fiber Tripod. Pretty cheap for a carbon fiber setup... #>
Camera AF Microadjustment - for free, Checking for front / back focus and fine-tuning camera autofocus. My Canon 40d doesn't let me tweak it, but the 50d does and I presume the next Canon models will as well so this is good info for me for the future... #>
Dinosaur Lots, I-70 & Morrison/Golden Exit, shockingly difficult to find the name of the lots. Turns out the new huge one on the north-west side of Highway 26 is "Woolly Mammoth", the one on north-east side is "T-Rex" and the south-east side is "Stegosaurus". #>

According to this story from the Guardian, the train that shuttles visitors to the site has been blocked by more than 40 landslides, effectively cutting it off for the foreseeable future.#>

GPS Photo Correlation. I'd posted about this in the past but believed it was Linux only. They've got a Windows version now as well, though I haven't tested it out yet (I did run it and it looks simple enough.)

Is your Focus Letting You Down. I keep meaning to test all my lenses, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Glad they included a link for a focusing chart though, maybe that'll help me get off my duff. #>
All 21 Lucky Songs from The Hangover. Recently watched it for the 3rd time and realized how much I'd like the soundtrack (except not every song in the movie is on the soundtrack so this list is better...) #>
Daniel Zoppi - Bersa THUNDER 9mm
Apparently the Bersa's are known for how inexpensive they are (saw one at a gun shop recently that was 1/2 the price of everything else in the case). I'm more interested in the range he's shooting at, I want to try a place like that... #>
