Hamadryas Baboon


Satisfaction, originally uploaded by Kirk Howard.

If you think the look on this Alpha Male Hamadryas Baboon is one of Satisfaction, well it is, he has a new enclosure at the Oakland Zoo. No more fence to shoot through.

Today is the grand opening of the new Baboon exhibit and enclosure. If you are in the area, go by and see them.

Ronald W. Reagan Presidential Library

Magellan and I finally made it home from our trip to Southern California. Our journey home took to the Ronald W. Reagan Presidential Library. Our main reason for going was that Magellan is taking a summer class from UCSD that will give her one credit and move her up on the pay scale at work in October. The secondary reason is we wanted to see the Air Force One, tail number 27000.

It was amazing to see this huge Boeing 707 perched three stories above your head. This massive piece of machinery was literally standing on three pillars.

Reagans Oval Office

If you find yourself in Simi Valley, California and on Hwy 118. Take some time and visit the Ronald W. Reagan Presidential Library, no matter what political party you belong, you will find the history amazing, and the history of his career for the early days of radio and movies through his political career.

Take Car Photos While In Motion

Here is a quick post for the car enthusiast and photographer in you. In one of the posts from a favorite blog I follow DIYPhotography.net. James Evins shows us how he makes a Do-it-yourself camera rig. I have looked into getting a camera rig for several projects that I want to do. This seems to be a cheap alternative to a more expensive Rig Kit.

Follow along with his detail DIY project. I would like to get feed back with anyone who actually makes a rig for themselves.
