PowerRangers found in Central Park. The two rangers were having fun enjoying the Summerstage '05 event with Dan Zanes and Friends. I saw the band on Noggin.

Sunday in Central Park, Manhattan

This is a sharper one. The 18-70 is OKAY sharp. not very sharp. Or I have yet to test it. I havent' sharpened my pictures for the longest time. Just post them as is. Good expression, taken by Jin.

Bryant Park, NYC, WiFi hotspot connected

It works, like expected. When things work like expected, I think it's just great. I don't know if I have lowered my expectation or what, I tend to think if only things work as they claim it's great already. More often than I'd like to experience, things simply don't work according to their spec. I work in the IT field, sort of, so nothing really surprises me.
I bought a SanDisk Connect-Plus low power Wi-Fi card from Amazon's marketplace. The buying experience is OK, i mean the ordering experience from Amazon has always been very good. The communications between the seller and I were less than satisfactory. To cut to the chase, I did receive the card all right and it works, like expected. My only complaint is the card doesn't come with any utility for Windows Pocket PC 2003, not from the miniCD nor from their web site. I downloaded their latest driver from the website and it works. I emailed SanDisk, seems like they have no intention to release any utility for Pocket PC 2003. That said, I think their service is an OKAY. Any wifi card add-on is obsolete by today's standard anyway so I can see that there is no reason to support this product. I use a hp iPAQ hp2210.

It's almost Done

picture by Jin taken with a Nikon D70, AF-S 18-70 f1:3.5-4.5G set at auto.
I really have no complaint on my Nikkor 18-70 lens, the sharpness and all. The color rendition and the skin tones, when used with D70, are really pretty good, considering sometimes I shoot everything JPEG fine in auto with no post processing at all.

Hair Cut on July 18, 2005

Just some touch up. Photos look better when I am in front of the camera (Jin took better pictures not that I am photogenic). Photo taken with a Nikon D70, AF-S Nikkor 18-70

Harry Got A Buzz Cut

I myself need a haircut too I think.

ck one, live billboard in Times Square

ck one, calvin klein's latest live billboard campaign in Times Square. Essentially it's sex in a bottle. It didn't really stop traffic, but certainly attracted gawkers like me. I got some samples and have yet to put it on. It's summer if you must wear cologne or such, make sure they don't smell anything. I heard Japanese perfumes actually achieved that essential odorlessness.
