About Me I've been backpacking since the early 70's . For the past 16 years it's been day hiking as our daughter grew up , with camping in the Cascades every summer. Now we are ready to take her deeper in , and I'm re-equipping us for lighter travel. Photography is a major hobby, as well as Chinese gardens and travel in China.

Heinlein in context
By the time Heinlein was writing Stranger and basically trying to get laid with his Lazarus Long persona SF had shifted so much that he was a dinosaur. My first free book from the Science Fiction B...

More reviews
David Pogue at the NYT reviewed a few waterproof cameras/ camcorders today. They may more relevant because they are shockproof as well. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/22/technology/personaltech/2...

You can use things like the Coolpix 4500 to compensate for exposure on panoramas and use it's panning mode to line things up , but having looked into this over some time in the Coolpix line wit...
