This is me on Christmas when I was 3 1/2 with my first car - a rear engine topless sporty model. I have vague memories of this fantastic vehicle, but I am sure that the early impressions from this experience branded me for life. Years later, as an adult, I pined for a Porsche 911 [...]
Images and video created from video shot on my Canon 7D at the Fresno County Fair, October, 2010. Best viewed at 720p, full screen, with the sound cranked up. The video was processed with software I developed in C++. It takes [...]
The 24 Hours of LeMons is a two day endurance race for $500 cars. Last Spring, Eric and his roommates decided to enter this October's race using John's rusty 1995 Cadillac as the donor vehicle. I'll admit I was skeptical that they'd be able to do everything necessary to be ready for the race, what [...]

I should be ashamed for subjecting my dog to such acts of humiliation for only a Frito. But I'm not, 'cause I'm laughing too hard. Sometimes my most popular pictures on Flickr are the ones I'm not the most proud of.
Gopher Guest Last time it was a shrew, tonight we had a gopher pay a visit. We need to keep our doors closed. After we caught him and did our photo shoot, we released him in a wooded area at the far corner of our lot, far from the lawn and garden. Just a few [...]
Shrew Visitor This tiny shrew came into the house this afternoon. We weren't sure what it was (mouse? mole?), but easily caught it in a tupperware container. I took him outside, added some dirt and had a quick photoshoot before releasing him in the far end of the back yard. I've since learned he's a [...]
