A chance of what?

That’s a link to the live forecast, so it changes every day, but as I write this, the current forecast calls for “ice pellets” this evening. Ice pellets? They even have a graphic for it! Hm. Actually, let’s just abuse […]

Night shot of the stained glass at a downtown cathedral; St. Andrew’s Wesley (United), I think. A digital camera makes such shots almost ludicrously easy: you shoot the long exposure (in my case, using the Nikon Coolpix 2500’s special night-shot mode), check it on the screen, and can manually adjust the EV adjustment and reshoot […]
