So I met up with the people from the Murrieta/Temecula Valley Sportbike Meetup Group today to go hit up Ortega Highway which runs between Lake Elsinore, CA and San Juan Capistrano, CA. It was a beautiful day, with temps around 73 or so, not a cloud in the sky! It was awesome. Im starting to get more comfortable on the bike, yet I know I have a lot to learn, but practice makes perfect. All in all it was a great day.

On Sunday I was heading home from my Ice Hockey game at IceTown in Riverside and I was amazed at how beautiful of a day it was. I decided to take a detour from my normal route home and head up Ortega Hwy, West of Lake Eslinore, CA.  I got up to the Lookout Roadhouse and snapped a Panorama of Lake Elsinore as seen below.

I was on my way down the hill when I decided to pull over and snap a few shots of the street bikers that were storming the hill.  Keep in mind this was my first time shooting street bikes so the results leave a lot to be desired, but I had fun. I can tell, I have a lot to learn and I look forward to doing so.

Of all the photos, I think I like this one the most.. I dont know why, it just jumps out at me as being the best of the day.

I was messing around with my camera at camp in Glamis Sand Dunes, setting it up for 30 second exposures… heres what I came up with. January 30th, 2010.

A few photos from my garage from the storm we had January 18th, 2010. It may be normal for other places, but for SoCal to get this kind of rain in crazy rare!

Went to Glamis for the weekend before halloween. Great time, great sand.

This was done on the HTC Titan (Verizon xv6800). It may work for others as well, but I’m not sure.

The problem was this: I take mostly landscape photos with my phone, but the phone would always save the image as a portrait. I hate having to go in and rotate each image, so I wanted to change the default to landscape.

This is how to do it.

So its a bit of an annoyance, but Google’s Gmail is acting up and has been for the last few months. Its nothing major in my opinion, but it is annoying. When ever I click on “Always display images from …” Gmail seems to forget and next time I get a message from whoever I want on the safe list, it asks me again.  Gotta love it.

Apparently Google is aware of the situation.

Just currious to see if anyone else is having issues visiting pages that refer to pagead2.googlesyndication.com?  Maybe its just an issue on my end?  I’ll dig a little deeper.

Changed the theme for the site. Pretty happy with the way it came out.
