Chewy's Last Days

Mom says he's been laying under the tree most of the time. The vet gave him some shots to ease the pain and Chewy seem to be better. He walked a bit to get food and poop on Saturday. Was down the entire day on Sunday. Doesn't look good for Chewy.

[Update] Chewy was put down on Monday (9/22) afternoon. We'll miss you Chewy.

Dolphins!!

I guess I don't get out enough, but I saw DOLPHINS! In Half Moon Bay! Aren't Dolphin indigenous to Holiday Inns?

We also saw plenty of "full moons" from unabashed surfers.

[Update] I probably have the wrong kind of dolphins too, but they were as close as where those waves were.

Phone Pics on Flickr

Ethan's growing up fast. Everything happens faster actually. The whole thing is a blur. My digital camera does fine technically but is just way too much trouble to carry around. After getting a new phone with ATT we decide to add 4gig cards to it. The idea was that we were going to take smaller pictures but more frequently. We won't be able to print the pics but at least we'll have them to look at on the web.

Adjusting to different light settings and shutter speed and such has been reduced to sliding the phone open, hit the camera shortcut button, and shoot. The quality is unpredictable. Sometimes the slightest difference in angle stretches the picture. The phone camera also lags behind a second between pressing the shoot button and the actual capture of the image, resulting in lots of half opened eye shots.

I am getting more used to the phone camera though. The idea here is I can capture a lot more while giving up pixel count. Not a bad trade off considering the alternative could be no picture at all.

I've also been using PicLens addon for Firefox when viewing galleries. It works with Flickr and youtube.
