Seriously trivial thoughts
Cardboard Guitar Stratocaster Fender : Cardboard Chaos Visit Signal – www.signalsnowboards.com Cardboard Chaos is here and it’s time to riff on a new idea! Rock out with your cardboard stock out! This episode we work with a master builder at the Fender Custom Shop to see if paper has the ability to handle the look, …
Ya gotta respect people that continue to push the copyright envelope. We can thank them for so many things that we take for granted today (e.g., MP3s, DVRs, Slingbox, etc.). OnRad.io is another one of those technologies. Michael Robertson of MP3.com fame is behind this venture. They are basically indexing online music streams and allowing visitors to play …
This touch input device looks very interesting. It will be interesting to see how well it works in the real world after it ships. Personally, I’ll be very interested in its use with graphics and music-creation applications. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2aWmA_2jw]
How come I never heard of these? Kinda looks like a cross between an armadillo and an ant eater, almost dinosaur-like. Weird how it kinda walks on two legs most of the time. The name reminds me of an old Bugs Bunny cartoon about a Hoboken-born penguin. The bum that wants to eat him says, …

My vacuum-insulated mug keeps my coffee hot most of the day with no electronics, but I gotta admit I’m intrigued. $129 is a bit steep and I wonder about longevity. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vy_y52oZos]
Visited another local “pond” named Plaza Lake to try out my new Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. Overcast day and probably would have preferred the reach of my 150-600, but I had to get out of the house and try this baby! It’s a little heavy, but less than I expected. Sharp as a tack.
I guess it’s just the accountant in me, but I have to see stuff like this in tables. I’ve highlighted 9% and above discounts. The 13% discount on the 70-200mm 2.8 is especially interesting to me ;-)
Went to the air show last weekend and tried out my Tamron 150-600mm F/5-6.3 mounted on my Nikon D7200. I also brought along my D750 and some primes so my bag was pretty darn heavy. I had plenty of length with the cropped sensor D7200 and Tamron, but getting good focus on propeller planes was …
