The Portal Trail, taken sometime in the late '90s. It's a heck of a drop, that's for sure. While that particular spot may be "not suitable for biking", the rest of the trail surely was.
Holy crap. Time to tape over all connected cameras and mice; it's no longer tin foil hat territory.

Cool! I've wanted to watch these, but never got enough of an urge to buy the discs. This will be fun with the kid.

Wonderful read. I've never owned a Leica, but they are clearly the subject of much fascination amongst certain photographers. My wallet is glad I've never been bitten by that particular bug.
Happy birthday to the Fourth Doctor!

Two things are interesting about this link: the book and the video. The book is really nice, and I recommend it. The video is him going through several of the images and telling stories about the portraits, and it's generous to get an two hour talk of this nature in its entirety. Heisler is not only a great portraitist, but he's a good storyteller too. Definitely worth the time to watch.
The staff from AllThingsD have struck out from their parent, The Wall Street Journal, and created this new site. While I'm sure the content will continue at the level of D, I find the site to be hideous. Hopefully that'll change as it matures, but right now I just don't want to go there.
"It’s been a transparent effort to reassure industry donors that the party's future isn't a bottomless pit of brainless Bachmanns and Cruzes and Santorums, all convinced our Harvard-educated president is a sleeper-cell Arab and that Satan is a literal being intent on conquering Nebraska with U.N. troops."
The whole piece is a great read, with choice nuggets in almost every paragraph.
So, yes, Sherlock is back as brilliant as ever and there's joy and entertainment and superb craftsmanship abounding in this first episode (you might feel like clapping in appreciation when it ends), but there's also the promise of more goodness ahead.
Can't wait. Well, since it's aired in the UK, I suppose I could be watching it now, so I guess I can literally wait. But, I'm waiting for anticipation for the 19th, when it airs on BBC America.
The acclaimed detective, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, returns for season three as superb (and unscathed) as when he left.
