So Lance Armstrong has given up his fight against the US Anti-Doping Agency regarding alleged use of performance enhancers during his seven-year run as the Tour de France champion. In his statement following his decision not to go to arbitration with the USADA Armstrong continued to proclaim his innocence, branded the investigation a witch hunt, invoked his hundreds of negative drug tests and insisted his decision to discontinue the battle was based solely on fatigue from years of fighting.
There are plenty of questions about what’s going on with the USADA. And while Armstrong has clearly made some powerful (as well as pathetic – I’m looking at you Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton) enemies over the years, he maintains some powerful supporters – namely the international and US cycling federations, who both backed Armstrong in his Federal lawsuit against USADA that was recently thrown out, although the judge…

You’re never too old
Or too young
To enjoy the rich, vibrant honey
Of a dazzling sunset

Terinspirasi setelah membaca artikel dari salah satu sesepuh wordpress.com yaitu tentang pentingnya isi dan kwalitas artikel pada posting blog yang mengedepankan manfaatnya untuk orang banyak, sehingga secara tidak langsung akan membantu peningkatan pagerank pada blog kita.
Maka pada postingan kali ini saya akan coba dengan tag ”Cara pasang animasi flash pada blog WordPress.com”, yang mana trik ini sempat bikin isi otak saya jadi memanas dalam beberapa hari.
Bagaimana nggak puyeng? karena masalahnya saya masih sangat awam dengan yang namanya kode html maupun kode javascript.

- Large crepe myrtle on Auburn Avenue
That’s another gem of E-P-L wisdom that works well with today’s blog. It reminds me of my favorite philosophy from Alice Walker: “It pisses God off if you walk past the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice.”
It’s hard to not notice a crepe myrtle in full bloom. And that’s why it is my favorite tree.

OK, I think I have finally sorted out the problems I was having with image stacking (see Image stacking revisited: macro photograph a sow bug—take 2). Above is a portrait of an immature drumming katydid (Meconema thalassinum) that I compiled from a stack of 41 images. The insect was approximately 1 cm long. I think this is the best stacked image I have produced.—it looks completely sharp and focussed.
In my previous attempt (Image stacking revisited: macro photograph a sow bug—take 2) I felt the resolution of the final stacked image wasn’t right—that the image didn’t look “crisp” enough. I also speculated whether the lack of resolution was due to the lens or my technique. I assumed it was my technique, and sure enough, it was. You see, when I took the sow bug photo I used a home-made macro stand—basically just a wooden base…

You beautiful little flower
abundantly you give
of yourself
for God’s pleasure
Almost endlessly you bloom
and bloom until death
You whither away
from our sight.
God loves you
Between takes with screen & martial arts legend Jet Li.
Note the “volume” under my shirt! What do think it is:
A – a machine gun
B – a radio
C – a camera case
D – maybe I had to many pizzas!
🙂
Take care y’all!!!
