I'd apologize but honestly, it's like Nikon took my DLSR wishlist and made a camera w/ the D750. Full frame, not exorbitantly priced, not 10000MP, wifi, etc,etc. I just can't afford it right now at full-fare with everything else that's going on in life and w/ the D7000 still basically being 10x the camera that my skills warrant.

^^^ Makes good sense to me. The only counter-point I'd offer is that the 7200 shoots well enough at higher ISOs that my choice for a do everything lens would have been the 18-300 VRII from Nikon. It's only a few ounces (~2) more than the SIgma, covers way more range and is only a stop (ish) slower. Granted, it's almost double the cost of the Sigma but I can't imagine a scenario short of ultra-wide-angle where it wouldn't cover it. My 18-200 has been on my last two bodies (D80 and D7000) 99% of the time and I've only put the 12-24 on there occasionally for fun and forcing me to use it. Oh, I guess my other pieces of advice would be to get the D750 since that's what I'm targeting early next year.

Happy birthday!

Stupid fat fingers...

If you can wait it'll be interesting to see if Nikon updates the 810 in the not too distant future and if so, what that does to D750 prices.

For Grahame and for Science I present, Beef Bacon. And yes, it is delicious.

I suppose they have to ruin the franchise every so often (see: Clooney) so they can resurrect it. Bale was just so good that it seems like they would have been better off not doing anything for a while.

The first episode should cleanse your mental pallet of the bile that was Ben Affleck. The idea that he is the next Batman just hurts my head. So. Much. Fail.

I watched the first episode last night and was suitably impressed.

I'm going to try to ride 30 this weekend. I expect a disaster of some sort since I have ridden twice this year, for a total of just over 30 miles.

If you're within range of an atomic clock transmitter you can sync to it (with the push of the one button). It's also quite simple to switch time zones while traveling, which I've actually done once with it already. I like it a lot and love it because my wife picked it for me.

Here it is, Jacob. I'd estimate my wrist at 7-1/2 to 7-3/4 - pretty average I think.

A power switch (on the back panel at least) would be a pretty simple mod. I added one to my EAD because the front panel switch is only a half-off switch (weirdly).

My new watch (the Citizen) is 43mm which does not seem too big to me at all. More just right than anything. Slightly smaller would be ok, probably would not want to go bigger.

I can only hope that if you are, you'll drop a line. Gene and I keep swearing that we'll get together each year and so far we might be 50/50. It'd be pretty great to see both of you at the same time.

Hi Mike!

Happy birthday, Zach! MOTMOTMOTMOTMOTMOT

Raffy has been riding like a madman, from what I can see. It's supposed to rain or snow here for the next 6 days. Eff you, spring.

Happy birthday!

Better late than never! Happy birthday, Mike!

And just out of the oven, banana chocolate chip muffins.

Sure, I'll shoot you a PM later, it's really easy and very good.

Prepping for tomorrow - blueberry stuffed French toast.

It's windy as heck out but beggars can't be choosers.
