I got my new camera!
Gallery of a small sampling of the photos I've taken is here. I actually haven't had any chances to do outdoor shooting yet (hence all the shots of my apartment), and I'm still getting used to using it. I've still got a while to go before I can get some jaw dropping photos, but I've been extremely impressed so far. I particularly love how using ISO3200 on the 20D is less grainy than ISO400 on my Point and Shoot. Oh, and I ended up buying it from a guy on Craiglist.
Today I went to go see Barack Obama speak here in Austin. This was the second time I've gotten to see him talk, the first being back in February. He's still who I'm going to be voting for in the primary, though it'll already be quite decided by the time Texas gets around to voting. I added some photos of the rally with links to why I support him and why the whole "not enough experience" argument is a fallacy. I would have used the 20D to take those, but "professional" cameras were banned, so I had to make do with my regular digicam.
Scientists have moved one step closer to an internet brain implant (which mark my words, will happen during my generation), this time by reading a paralyzed man's mind to determine what he is trying to say. They think they can convert 80% of what they captured into sound, and in the end allow a person who can't move at all, to speak.
