But I can’t juggle
Of late the hubs and I have been trying to do everything at once. Weaning our son, and encouraging him to sleep in his own bed. Both of us have been crazy busy with our jobs. We have been searching for a new home to rent. I have been attempting to get in better shape [...]
The Weaning
Yep, here I go talking about boobies again. I am currently awake at the wondrous hour of 3am because my beautiful precious son is awake and has nursing needs but I announced that I am done breastfeeding my son and want a break. I explained to my ever loving husband that Thursday night will be [...]
Hacking the RadioPopper JrX
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Worklogs on September 17, 2009
Okay I know what you’re thinking, and no I didn’t figure out how to turn a basic reciever into a studio receiver, but sadly, I’m simply not that cool. What I did do however was open the boxes for my two new RadioPopper JrX Studio receivers, put batteries in them, test them (oohh pretty), then [...]
You get what you pay for, or less!

So you likely know that I recently dropped and broke my Nikon SB600 flash. Disappointed as I was about this, I was already thinking of how I’d replace it. My searches for Nikon compatible flashes had always included these apparently super affordable Phoenix flashes. Now, of course, I was always very suspicious of these for [...]
Appearance

Appearance, it is a topic that comes up regularly. We all wish it wasn’t what we are judged by but it is. My question, or rant, is why does everyone need to fit in a box? I am of mixed decent. I am short and curvy, my hair style is a big afro, my skin [...]
Loss
I have been playing on a baby board since before my precious baby boy was conceived. I have gotten to know quite a few women on these boards over the past three years, as much as you can get to know someone on a board on the internet. Over the past few months I have [...]
Like a flash in the pan

Welp, my Nikon SB600, which I’ve had for about a year and a half now has officially been declared dead. After dropping it yesterday it simply wouldn’t turn on anymore. I popped it open today hoping to discover what went wrong, after getting it pretty well apart, I noticed this. Apparently the drop cracked the [...]
Of living insects, and dying electronics
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Quincy on September 6, 2009
We finally took Quincy to our local Museum of Natural History for the Butterflies Alive! exhibit. It’s been open for months now, and is ending September 21st. They’ve been doing this for years, and my wife and I have never visited. It was actually extraordinarily enjoyable, and I got some pretty nice photos, if I [...]
The X is dead.. Long live the X!!
Well, it’s finally done. Today I hauled the last bit of the Explorer to the junk yard. By this point, all that was left was really the front suspension, the frame, and the shell of the body. It was not a straight forward experience though, lemme tell you the story. As you can likely tell [...]
My TMI Post
Warning: This post may be a bit, um, private or sensitive but it must be said. Time and time again I see the commercials for Viagra and Levitra and they have their spokesmen saying, puzzled that one medical condition or another has effected their performance in the bedroom. EVERY SINGLE TIME I yell at the [...]
