At 10:00 this morning, Google launched its Street View of Metro Detroit. For those who aren’t familiar, Street View is a special feature of Google Maps that lets you essentially “walk the streets” of a city. It features 360 degrees of still photographs taken every few yards along thousands of city streets, and [...]

I’ve recently been jonesing for a more elaborate digital camera, after using point-and-shoots since I switched from 35mm film in 2000. Back when I graduated from high school, I got a Canon EOS Elan IIe 35mm SLR, and it was a fantastic camera. I still have it; it’s in pristine condition. Unfortunately, [...]

I didn’t have much to say during my vacation, but for those who are interested, I have posted photos of our trip to the photo gallery section.

I’m coming to you from the Boardwalk Resort at Disney World this evening, where we’ll be staying the night after an eventful and exciting day. The GTO is officially in my possession now, the Sport Appearance Package is installed and damn does it look amazing. The dealership did a great job installing all [...]

While I already announced the opening of the Oddball Update Photo Gallery, I wanted to take a moment to announce today that I’ve already re-done it. Yeah…I decided that the Flickr service wasn’t for me. I always had an aversion to off-site storage of photography (I like to keep everything in-house on my [...]

I’ve added a few more of Friday’s GTO pictures to the photo gallery; they’re not the best shots but they do show some additional things!
