To the mountains again…

Posted on by

It’s time for another fall trip to the mountains. It’s going to be great because I am going to have more than just a couple of days to trudge over rocks, through woods and in swamps.

I am going to take a chunk of tech with me: the laptop, the Droid, my TrackStick, and maybe the Flip Video.

The coolest piece of tech though, has to be the Canon DSLR – just got a telephoto/pseudo-macro combo lens, new tripod and carry case for it all today. Maybe I’ll be able to get some nice far off pictures of things in valleys, or some close ups of butterflies.

Have fun while I’m gone – I will.

AT&T Transcontinental Cable Route

I’ve suddenly become fascinated with old AT&T Transcontinental Cable Routes (L-Carrier) and their markers. I’ve collected a whole bunch of markers and taken pictures of them…

If I get some more time, perhaps I will post a KML file. For the time being, look at them on Panoramio!

Anyone else got pictures and coordinates of markers, along with their marker numbers? Throw em in the comments – I’d like to start a hobbist database.

Inanis + Droid = SCREE

I got a Motorola DROID phone to replace the old Motorola Q9c I had.

If the iPhone is the Jesus Phone, then this thing is the God Phone. It is simply phenomenal.

I won’t go into detail of the phone itself here, because world+dog has already done that, but I will say this: The phone is easier to use with Microsoft Exchange features than my previous Microsoft Windows Mobile phone.

I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.

Yeah. I said it. You read it. Wanna fight about it?
