Happy 28th Birthday, Kyle

Filed under: Kyle Rankin — joy at 8:45 am on Monday, August 20, 2007

Kyle’s birthday was a weekend extravaganza. We hung out with our friends, went to a wannabe-Speakeasy, ate Puerto Rican food for the first time, and spent Sunday with Kyle’s dad, who came down from Seattle to surprise Kyle. The three of us went to the beach, the redwoods, and took a tour of Korbel winery. We really know how to celebrate around here.

Here are a couple of pictures from the beach, which was fogged in, and the redwoods.

In other news, I am going to get a new camera. I tried out the Nikon D40 and it is looking likely we’re going to splurge and get me one. I should have it in time for our cross-country trip. Hooray!

Glad Kyle had a good birthday. Also, good fog pictures! Mine always look blurry.

Ordinarily I would scream out loud that if you don’t buy a Canon camera you will soon feel the pain, but in the SLR category, that Nikon looks pretty sweet. Most important - it uses HCSD memory, which is a beautiful thing. It also has a lithium-ion battery, which I prefer over rechargeables. Given that you actually take pictures with your camera (as opposed to me - I often forget I have one), then you should do well with the Nikon.

Boring technical blahblahblah out of the way, post happy birthday to Kyle. Hope all was grand.

Thanks all! Robin, I have indeed heard that the Canon Digital Rebel is a really good camera, but I dislike the Canon I currently have, so I am distrustful. Burn me once, and all that. Plus the Nikon feels better in my hands than the Canon DR, whatever that means…
