Shutter Died.

Posted by Greg T. on August 29th, 2008 in Travel

My camera shutter died. It was somewhat of a spectacular failure. I was shooting a picture, the camera made a “ka-krunk” noise and the viewfinder has half blocked out. I pulled the lens off and out falls the mirror. Looks like the adhesive that holds the mirror to the reflex plane failed. Hopefully Canon won’t charge me as it only has about 30,000 actuations on it.

Before my camera died, it took a picture of an alligator at the Baltimore Aquarium.

Where have I been?

Posted by Greg T. on August 27th, 2008 in Travel

Dear blog, I wrote in you very infrequently in the past 2 months, but I thought about you alot. Here are some thigns I might have written about had I written in you:

  • Saw The National at summer stage. Matt Berninger tried to climb on me
  • Went to Baltimore for the purpose of sleeping with some sharks.
  • Saw Thievery Corp at Summer Stage. Wow show, but some sound problems.
  • Made the 2008 Vendys site. Pretty happy with it, learned some coding and life lessons.
  • Got a little Muji thing which really cleaned up my desk.
  • Read “What I talk about when I Talk about Running” (kottke explains) and consequently did some running
  • Managed some fun little/not-so-little projects at work–a new Uploader running on Air and a service akin to Netflix, but with SD cards and uploading videos.
  • Took at web usability class at NYU, a questionable investment of time
  • Sold a photo of some pho to Gourmet Magazine (upcoming issue)

That’s just the stuff on my Gcal. I wonder what I did that I can’t remember?

Here’s some dolphin tail.
