San Diego SCCA SCNAX autocross

Truth: evaluative focus is complete rubbish. Stop using it, everyone. Anonymous Cohort 1 was about 50/50 for having cars in focus at the last autocross. Anonymous Cohort 2 shot yesterday and was about 30/70. More than one person in my photo class have presented photos completely out of focus.

Then I picked up Ted's camera and, being unfamiliar with Canons, left it on fully automatic. I guess their firmware developers think the background is most important. Oh well.

 Jon, J, and I watched the Aeon Flux Rifftrax. Such great commentary for such a terrible movie. If only we'd had the time to also do Over the Top.

Frequency is Relative | Pedestrian Observations

 Five years ago, I wrote a blog post about frequency-ridership spirals, mentioning as a side comment that the impact of mass transit frequency on ridership can be lumped together with the trip time. I'd like to develop this point here, and talk about how it affects various kinds of public transportation, including intercity trains. The...

Lloyd Bridges and his shrink-wrapped batch. IN COLOR. - Sea Hunt #13 | blog into mystery
