Thank you gents. The day has been spent so far in the anatomy lab taking pictures of brains for a lab manual for next years class. Then picking up Julie's mom who is flying in from Canada and making them dinner. Should be a nice quiet day.

I vote for foxit PDF reader and eset nod32. Used both for years and never had problems. Still use nod 32 on my MBA.

This might get my a 2 week vacation but I'll say it anyways. Have you considered duller knives? To avoid incidents precisely as these? Not being facetious but the statement stems from genuine concern.

Hooray for haj

Fujifilm XT-1 with Zeiss 35/2.8 Biogon M Mount.

My portable usb drive is about filled and I am looking for a replacement. I mostly need something to dump raw files from the d800 and the xt1 onto and then edit them using Lightroom. The MBA only hold so many files and I'd rather have my music occupying the little space I have. Current options are another usb portable drive. http://www.amazon.com/Passport-Ultra-Portable-External-Backup/dp/B00E055H5O/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1402802747&sr=1-2&keywords=wd+passport $110 for 2 TB (pretty steep price/gb ratio). Non portable desktop usb portable drive. http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STBV3000100/dp/B00834SJU8/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1402800799&sr=8-16&keywords=portable+hard+drive $99 for 3TB (best price/gb ratio) Some sort of NAS arrangement. I am not married to a brand. The USB portable drive is nice in that it is, well, portable. Non portable drive can get plugged straight into the Airport Extreme and used as a network drive without the noise in my room but would that reduce the file transfer/read/write speeds? In practice which would be faster - usb drive in to the MBA or usb drive into the airport extreme? NAS arrangement doesn't refer to a real NAS solution but something like this. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ARB5FNE $200 would be my hard limit although I'd like to spend as little as possible. Don't want to go smaller than a 2tb drive as I think that that is the sweet spot currently. The 3tb non portable is $25 off so a better price. Any suggestions for my intended purpose?

Really like the third one Ari.

Decided to take the day off from school entirely and spent a lazy morning in bed listening to music. Julie and the girls came over in the afternoon and we took some pictures. Then headed to Le Tub - the girls wanted to see where we went for our first date. It was a great day. The gastric ulcer is making me pay for that burger but it was a wonderful time. All taken with the X-T1 and the 56mm/1.2 lens.

What's the catch here? I could just buy an old dslr on craigslist for peanuts and go stand in line?

The thing on the side looks like a massive sleep button on the top of iPhones. Be careful with all these lawsuits going around. http://www.whatmobile.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Apple-iPhone-5-lock-button.jpg

I had an Sb910 on top the of the d800 as well. The weight starts adding up. The extra 160 gm from the lens. The extra 700-800 gm from the flash and batteries.

Rented a Tamron 24-70 Nikon mount for some class end of year pictures. It was so freaking heavy. I don't understand how these pros shoot with a d800, flash and some zoom. It would kill my back. Got a crazy sunrise this morning - http://500px.com/photo/71436209/sunrise-in-florida-by-anurag-katyal?from=user_library

Found out that it had been taking way too much ibuprofen to manage the knee injury in San Diego last October to the point where I now have stomach ulcers that hurt like mofos. Went to get blood drawn twice. First time, the nurse tried 3 times and couldn't get it. They asked me to come back later. The new nurse tried again and failed but the doctor was able to get it. On the way out the doctor noticed a spot on my shoulder where the whole tetanus incident had happened. Pulled up my sleeve and found it draining. Got sent up to dermatology for a biopsy. Was scratching my lower legs incessantly. They have been itching for 3 years without a diagnosis other than neuro dermatitis which is a diagnosis of exclusion anyways. The attending noticed it and started running around. Said it would be best to do a biopsy of the leg as well as the symptoms were indicative of something bad. 'Twas a rough day.

Peter, check out Zeno's Paradox.

Thank you gents and Brent. Julie got a full ride for another year and finished the semester with straight A's. Both her daughters got straight A's as well and got into a special medical program for middle school. Yacht formal tonight to celebrate where I shall have an opportunity to wear my nautical themed pashmina afghan while singing I'm on a boat. Another print on 500px got sold. It is a good day indeed.

Just finished the last final for the first year of medical school. Hooray.

40% off coupon enticed me. I thought maybe their printing side would be better than their gear side.

I'm fucking done with Adorama. Ordered 3 20x30 prints on 4/1 and all three arrived with the right edges chopped off. Called them and they reprinted the images but still charged me for shipping again. Prints arrive today and 2 of them are even more chopped off than before. Called them to complain and the lady just said, we can give you credit yet again but you still have to pay for the prints to be shipped. I asked for a refund and she said it was against company policy. That only print credit could be given for misprints. Is this legal? They keep making mistakes and I have to pay for shipping every time? Done with Adorama. Bay Photo is slightly more expensive but I have never had a problem with them. The prints are at least (allegedly) reviewed before being sent out. Shipping is just a $1.50 instead of the $7 at Adoramapix.

I ask nicely Never tried playing around with that but like Jacob, I doubt it would work for me either. Will try though. Peripheral vision is amazing isn't it?

Time always needs to be found. It's a great stress buster as I need to step away from the books every few days otherwise I would go insane - we have already had 6 people drop out . One of my mentors in the anatomy department is an amazing photographer. He suggested for my own sanity and perhaps to have something different in my residency application to keep up with photography. When tests are around the corner, I put the camera away but in between I try to go out and shoot at least twice a week. I was at a random lunch (can't remember why I was there other than they said free food) and one of the doctors mentioned needing someone to take new pictures for their research group website. I volunteered and after talking to a few people there was asked to join them for the summer and next year to work on a cure for paralysis. Will be doing number crunching for them in the summer and hopefully more clinical stuff next year.

Yup, why?

Damnit there goes the resale value of my MBA.

Nathalie.

Whatever happened to Smeggy? Haven't seen him around here in forever.
