Level 4 Access Kit
I got my Level 4 Access Kit by Jonathan Coulton on Monday. This package was so perfectly thought out and included so many things. I love it. You can see all my photos of it on my Flickr.

365 Mark IV
It’s Friday the 13th and I decided to start a new 365 project. This will be my fourth. I think I will focus on pushing my creativity more while still honing my technical skills. My last 365 really improved my understanding of lighting. I have no idea where this project will push me, but I know it will. Here is my first shot. I set up my strobe lighting and everything. You can check it out on my Flickr and let me know what you think.
P.S. I edited this and another photo with the new Lightroom 4 beta. I am loving it so far. I will probably write up a short post on it this weekend. In the meantime, you can download the beta yourself and play around with it.

Bacon Brownies
A few months ago, I attempted to make brownies for the first time and they turned out great. Being the way that I am, I thought of different ways to I could improve on it. This logically led me to think, why not add bacon? I have tried chocolate covered bacon before and it was really good. It has everything to do with how the salt in the bacon and the sugar in the chocolate enhances each other’s flavor. After making a batch of bacon brownies over the holidays, I got a lot of requests to share my recipe. Now that things have settled down, I had some time tonight to write it up. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Lightroom 3.6 Update
Adobe just released their Lightroom 3.6 update and as not surprising, also released Camera Raw 6.6 update. You can get them on their software update page. It doesn’t seem to be a major update, just some support for new cameras like the Canon Powershot S100, which looks pretty sweet. I have the Canon S95 and I love it. By the way, if you’re looking for a really good deal on a high end compact, the S95 is one to look at. Its price dropped a lot since the S100 came out.

Monster Dash 5K
This weekend I ran the Monster Dash 5K. It is a costumed race around Lake Harriet starting at the Bandshell. I ran it with my sister and her husband. It was my sister’s first race. She did great. I ran with an injured ankle, but I was still able to finish without furthering my injury. I will be taking this week off from running. I did not run my best time, but I did significantly better than my first race. I’m considering running the Turkey Day 5K again next month. I took a few photos from the day. Check them out on my Flickr.
By the way, I dressed up as Bruce Lee from Game of Death. If I had another two weeks to grow out my hair, I would have got the look down better. I got a few compliments. I guess that is good enough for me.

Code Panda Wallpapers Updated
I decided to create some higher resolution wallpapers of my Code Panda drawing since the old ones were a bit small for newer devices like the iPhone’s retina display, the iPad and the recent Android phones. I created one for each of those mentioned. I’m leaving the old ones available for download too.
