He was hanging around in a tree in my backyard, doing whatever it is that insects do when they don't have a macro lens pointed in their general direction. It was only after I started looking through the images that I realised something ... http://rejectreality.net/2008/02/12/the-many-moods-of-a-mantis/ As promised, the second part of the photo catchup session. [gallery] http://rejectreality.net/2008/02/10/photo-catchup-part-deux/ I've been meaning to post these photos for a while. These photos were taken on a recent spur-of-the-moment midnight trip to a local lookout. This was my first foray into Strobist territory; the basic premise involves cheap, off camera lighting to create dramatic effects. Anything DIY earns extra brownie points.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Leopard has landed. For the install (and to make my life easier if it went/goes up in flames), I turned my iPod into a bootable copy of the install ... http://rejectreality.net/2007/11/07/time-this-cat-got-some-new-spots/ I was posed with an interesting problem today; to come up with a way to quickly add and display outstanding iCal to-do items. An hour later, a little AppleScript was born that grabs all your outstanding to-do items and displays them, separated by which calendar they exist in and displays the ... http://rejectreality.net/2007/11/04/ical-to-dos-via-growl/
