Trending Now

Laying in bed trying to sleep because I had to get up at 4:30 to go to Salem I was wondering what the bitchen new video, HD by the way, would look like on here, the blogness of it all. So I got up at 310 or so, not to Yuma.
Turns out between the viciously unstable Graphics processor and the size of hd video files I'm pretty much out of luck and so are you.
But I assure y ou here at 3d world headquarters we take this shit seriously and are working night and day to fix this fucker.

Last year when I painted the bottom I didn't have the energy to fuck around getting the waterline. So I took the easy way out. Painted the bottom strake and called it good.

So here are a couple of stills to tide you over. They are twice as densely pixellated as the other photos from my phone camera, and more than twice the pixel density of my other Sony.
Alas, they are not 1080P HD video.
I know, thin gruel indeed.

SO I used my brother's Bushnell Laser level to strike the waterline. Hanging masking tape on a curve is a motherfucker. I have yet to decide if it was worth it. Popoular opinion seems to be trending yes.

My Obsessions Develop An Expensive New Twist

OK, so a year ago I got a new phone because it had a bitchin 8 MP camera. I paid way too much for the phone but I had to have such a high-end camera.
Then, because I am an ignorant slob, this bitchen high-end developed a quirk, the fucker wouldn't focus where I wanted it to. You are supposed to tap the touch-screen where you want it to focus and voila whirrr le focus. Not.

Without the butter, my phone takes gorgeous photographs does it not?

So I wanted a camera you could manual focus. Expensive. The guy downtown tat the camera store was all "Oh this Canon is only $300 dirt cheap but obviously you are too ignorant or too poor to see that get the fuck out of my store."
Ebay, DSLR Cameras, drool all over the keyboard. Older 10 MP DSLR Sony Alpha with 2 lenses around $200. There's a 14.2 MP alpha a hundred bucks more, nice stuff. I have a Sony cyber-shot 7 MP point-and-shoot, but you can't tap the screen and tell it where, and you can't manually focus. But I like Sony stuff it is cool and strong and well-thought-out. Old-fashioned brand loyalty. I have it.

When I saw the DSC-HX100V with  a 30x zoom and manual focus for 200 plus change I jumped on that shit mos' skosh' as David Haysbert used to say in the CBS drama "The Unit" which they dropped after 9/11 but to this day my favorite military drama ever. I digress. ( He's the Allstate guy with the comforting voice.
Let me say one more thing about this camera: 16.2 MP. And 1080p video at 30 fps. That's two things. So what? Because fuck you, that's what.

Today I got the tripod of all tripods off of Craigslist, Bausch and Lomb Masters, the big one, you can't even buy them any more and I stole it from a farmer in the throes of grief etc nice deal Oh pipe down!
 I like to take high-resolution photographs with my high-resolution camera and look at them on the high-resolution monitor of my brand new high-performance computer with the dedicated 2G  AMD 6670 graphics processor.

It is springtime here in Northwest Portland. All the ornamental fruit trees that line all the streets are in beautiful burgeoning full-throated bloom.

And now I can photograph the shit out of the best time of year. And then summer which is also the best time of year.

I still use the auto-focus. I have learned that much

And if you have an expensive high-end android phone with an expensive camera built-in, don't eat toast dripping with butter and then drip the melted butter on your tee-shirt, especially if you are going to try and clean the tiny little lens of your expensive high-resolution phone-camera with the part of your tee-shirt covered by a big blob of cold congealing butter. No camera in the world will focus through that shit, and you might spend hundreds of dollars on new camera gear before you figure it out.
