Are Ya Bored With Cycling Posts Yet?

After several days of rain it finally warmed up a bit (48°) so I took a long ride to Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area. Total of about 21 miles. There were some Kite Surfers in the cold waters on the bay side. [video width="1920" height="1080"...

Zoo Lights

Sandi and I spent the weekend in Denver finalizing the NCT auction. We had great food. One night at Mizuna and one at McCormicks. The Oxford Hotel got us complimentary tickets to Zoo Lights and provided Town Car transportation. Not only were the light displays...

Great New Email Client

And then there was Postbox. I don't usually plug software on this blog but I have to make an exception for Postbox. I switched from Outlook several months ago and I love this alternative written by some of the key developers from Mozilla and Thunderbird who have now...

I have been remiss in my posting here so I thought I'd offer up an iPhone photo for your enjoyment. It was taken using the iPhone app called Panorama that automatically stitches together two adjacent photos. The frame was added wit the app Photogene. On the...

While playing 'Words With Friends' on my iPhone I suddenly became aware of why apple named their new tablet PC the iPad:

Spring is here

by up10ad | Wed May 2, 2007 | All (Home), Weather, Work | 0 Comments

Spring came early this year. By late March it was somewhat comfortable for a few days, and April was very nice indeed. The mud season didn't amount to much more than a few days of melt-off and it was over. Things turned green very early and spring is...

Night shot iPhone 6 Plus, grainy but nailed the shot.

by Rick | Fri May 15, 2015 | All (Home), Lifestyle, Photography | 0 Comments

I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

Just a quick snap taken during my walk/jog around the neighborhood on my birthday. No exposure information saved since it was taken within the Runkeeper app on my iPhone 6 Plus. Editing with Snapseed app to underexpose the lower section and with Touch/Retouch app to...

Took a few shots yesterday while working around the house. Got a fine pic of our vegetable garden showing how well the corn is doing, and another of the bunny that escaped from our neighbors kids. That bunny is going to be hard to catch.

This little guy (or girl) was hatched last week and gets around pretty well already! He never gets more than a few feet from mother hen, but he ranges all over the yard, arena and pasture. He was one of about 5 eggs in the nest but the only one that hatched for some...

Changed from Running to Cycling

by Rick | Thu Dec 17, 2020 | All (Home), Health, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

Well, it happened. This year I discovered that my body just doesn't handle the impact of running any longer. I've been using Runkeeper to track my running and walking activity since July of 2010. In that time I've tracked over 500 runs for a total of 980 miles. It was...
