I've been looking for a little compact for motorcycle trips that give me a nice image, high res, is compact, and shoots 30fps video clips for future trips. Since some have expressed interest in my photo gear I thought I'd share a few images from my latest discovery. I've been testing this little Panasonic DMC-LX1 compact digital camera that I think might be my next travel cam. I shot a

Here's my list (in no particular order) I'd like a REAL magic wand that really works, not one of those cheesy plastic ones from the magic store with glitter inside. I already tried one of those and it didn't work. :-( A cool exotic bottle encrusted with rare gems and has a REAL genie in it (preferably female with nice boobies and a sweet booty) and 3 or 4 wishes that haven't been all used up

Can somebody explain why Jessica Simpson is consistently in the media and plastered all over the web and in movies? Sure, she's attactive, but so are millions of other girls. Sure, she can carry a tune... but she's really nothing more than average if not a couple notches below that. So why is she covered so much? Is it just great PR? Is she "servicing" some huge media mogul? Have we moved into

I know the collective "we" are basically stupid... but just how stupid do they really think we are? I mean really, we're supposed to swallow that the very congressmen who've been bought and paid for all the way up to the president are really going to hold oil companies accountable for gross price gouging? These guys polute our environment, drag us into wars to protect their "interests", etc. THEN

Ok, warning... I have a VERY warped sense of humor. ;-) But I was just thinking this past weekend. Say, this Avian Flu or H5N1 sweeps the planet like they're telling us it might. And lets say that in order to absorb enough viral particles into your lungs you have to have clean, healthy, unobstructed lungs.... Now wouldn't it be ironic is the only survivors of this outbreak were the smokers? ;-)

I didn't think it was ALL about the oil.. but I believe the Bush administration needed the support of the largest conglomerates who'd stand to gain from war, unstable fuel markets, destruction, and rebuilding. Many of the potentially interested conglomerates also lay down the law on the general messaging we see via all media, so I think the oil was more of a fringe benefit to get support for

Call me paranoid... but I live in Austin, Texas. We really don't get much of a Winter except a few weeks around 40-50F with an occassional drop to freezing. At my house we get LOADS of birds year round. If I forget to pull my car in the garage it gets covered in bird shit. In our backyard we have several birdfeeders that we keep full most of the time. Squirrels grab the best stuff, but the birds

Flipped on the light in my swanky $8 a night room and waited a few seconds for all the cockroaches to seek new refuge (most likely within my backpack). Showered, packed my mochilla, stowed my pack and computer at the hotel desk, and headed out to the metro to get some video shots of chilangos being over-stuffed into metro cars for their daily pilgrimage to work. Got some great shots of human

I haven't read this anywhere, and I don't follow politics as much as I should... but, doesn't it look like the Mier's offering was intended as a sacrifice to get all the opposition to dump their firey payload on her, then she'd conveniently withdraw and the neo-cons would offer up Alito whom they really wanted to begin with?

Can someone please explain to me why the war in Iraq has nothing to do with oil... when ALL of the oil companies are enjoying HUGE profits... the military camps during the invasion of Iraq were each named after different U.S. oil companies... and the most of the Bush regime came from the oil sector... and some of the closest pals of the Bush family are Saudi oil men? I guess I'm just an

I watched this movie "What Dreams May Come" again the other night... caught it late at night, but I have the DVD. I know this movie didn't do all that swell. And that people seem to hate Robbins Williams doing anything other than comedy, but I really enjoyed it. I think most people just pigeon-hole actors and anytime they try to break out of their "place"... the general public just has a cow.

The other day I was telling a friend of mine how surprised I was my fingerless, leather motorcycle gloves didn't really smell that bad. Just still smelled like leather to me. This is considering they've seen 15 thousand miles that included much of Mexico and the Baja. And, have been frequently soaked in sweat, taco juice, you name it. I asked her to take a big sniff and she said agreed they

Here I sit on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Austin, Texas. I have a motorcycle and it's about 85F. So why am I sitting here updating my blog? Out of pure love for my audience of course. (an audience of 0 it seems) ;-) Someone asked me why I was reading a book the "old fashioned" way and not on computer. I told them for some reason I just can't read long tomes via computer. For some reason

I've been angry... I fight with conservatives who don't seem to hold their leader accountable for anything... just flollow and support no matter what. I get angy with those liberals who actually do oppose such blatantly heinous acts by our current (corporate-controlled/fascist) government... because they can't seem to pick their battles very well... nor, can they provide much better alternatives

Ok, now it seems after all the time spent traveling in Mexico on a motocycle... the vibe has waned. Now, I'm back in a "routine" again. Accept now it seems different. Now it almost seems more like a protective measure or defense mechanism against the "real world". Is it just me, or does it feel like the general level of world-wide mahem is climbing a bit more? Isn't it starting to feel like

So, I guess I've been watching too much news lately. I woke around 3AM and just couldn't go back to sleep. I started thinking about all those poor people in Guatemala that were just covered up by a volcanic mudslide. Evidently the Guatemalan officials aren't even going to try and dig them out. They're just going to declare the area that used to be a quaint little town... a mass grave. Now,

jeez luiz!!! I've kinda become quite obsessed with this blogging business. Does that happen to everyone? I wonder. I also wonder if I'm this obsessed with it now with NO comments ;-)... how obsessed will I be if anyone actually starts reading them? Well, off for a motorcycle ride... and maybe a little wine.
