My other VW is a VW.

Seen on the Street. 3 Blocks from my House.

Kwame in the Backyard.

Quick sample of 5D footage. Liking the new toy

so far!

5D MkIII

Upgrade!

Anyone in the market for some gently used cropped sensor

dSLR's?

I've got two of them.

The NEW iPad

Unboxed and ready to rock. Maybe not a clear sale to an

iPad 2 user, but coming from the iPad (classic edition), the

camera (uprated!) screen and speed are welcome features.

Images are print quality. Pixels are not perceivable to the

eye and all of my digital images look smooth and crisp.

It will also be a huge help with note taking at school and

while traveling for work.

Unterseeboot 505.

During WWII, the US Navy captured and

secured this Nazi U-Boat. In it, a means to

decode Nazi communications. All of this

was vastly interesting. They even had an

exhibit highlighting how they got the U-Boat

in the museum in 1 piece (spoiler: the built

the museum around the sub), which in and

of itself was amazingly interesting.

Interactive Science Composition.

Pretty things.

Jellys.

Shedd had a pretty amazing Jellyfish

exhibit at the time. These things are pretty

lame but they take sweet pictures.

Shedd Aquarium

My first trip to the Shedd. We got there

as it opened at 9 and the line was fairly

manageable. After getting out around

noon, the line stretched almost around

the Field Museum. However, it is certainly

worth it. Make sure you get there early.

Needs more sharks.

Big Fish.

The Amazon River and the Rain Forest

that surrounds it scares me to my very

core. Those fish could have easily swallowed

that ginger child without much difficulty.

The BlackStone.

I love hotels that overlook Lake Michigan.

It's one of my favorite lakes.

PS Vita. 3G/Wifi.

Nice little bit of hardware. Cannot wait for developers

to fully realize the interfaces this thing has to offer.

Mad City Roller Derby.

Unholy Rollers vs. Reservoir Dolls.

Sky High Sports: Naperville, Illinois.

Last weekend Kate and I drove down to Naperville to meet

up with Nick and Lisa. Why Naperville? Sky High Sports,

thats why. A huge industrial complex houses this huge

space filled with trampolines. Fairly reasonable rates

meant an amazing amount of little ones running around.

To avoid the parent hate, we opted to rent out the back

"private party" room for an hour. Best decision we made

all weekend. After maintaining a bounce while playing a

free-for-all/gender based game of dodgeball for an hour,

your legs are cooked! This is a reality that I had often

dreamed about as a youth and the novelty does not wear

off. I delighted myself each time I was able to make some

crazy corner wall to wall transition with the inevitable

dodgeball headshot at the end.

Go to there.
