Wanting To Find A Bug

This happened to me last week. Yet another lesson learned. I was working on debugging some code at work. Someone was complaining about some functionality in an element we draw on screen. In order to better diagnose the problem, I wanted to create an example and see if I couldn’t get the problem to reproduce. Not a bad first step. The problem was that as I wrote out the code I made a typo on the code I was writing. I wrote something like the following snippet: ...

Photo of the Day: Wine Fence

After a short little weekend break, Photo of the day is back. This photo I shot yesterday in Napa. I finally started to experiment with my new defuser. Since the sun was out in force yesterday, I used this light as a fill and ended up with some interesting results. This just happens to be my favorite composition from the day.

Bloomberg is a company that strives not to take a position on the market, but in this case, they actually caused the stock to take a sharp dip. They have since retracted the article and stated that they have no non-public information on the health of Steve Jobs.

Photo of the Day: Aspen Mountains

I’m not really sure if I like this photo, but I would love some feedback. I think it is slightly out of focus. I remember the feeling I had when I was taking this photo and that was a great feeling. I was on my own, in the middle of the rockies, breathing cool fresh air. The feeling is probably not enough to call this a great photo, but here it is regardless 😉 ...
