<br>Baby Goats Arrive at Harley Farms (Pescadero, CA)
<br><a href="http://etchedinpixels.com/photo/baby-goats-arrive-at-harley-farms-pescadero-ca/">http://etchedinpixels.com/photo/baby-goats-arrive-at-harley-farms-pescadero-ca/</a>
<br>
<br> Last weekend I headed over to the coastide to see the new kids born at
<br>Pescadero's Harley Farms.
<br>
<br>The farm dates back to 1910, when it was founded as a cow dairy. In subsequent
<br>decades it fell into disuse. That is, until it was bought by Dee Harley in 1982.
<br>A native of Yorkshire, England, she restored the property and grew her herd from
<br>six goats all the way up to 200. This is the only working dairy in San Mateo
<br>County. They sell a variety of products in their farm store, but the main
<br>attraction is the cheese.

<br>Lately I've been exposed (pun emphasized) to a lot of technical articles.  I've

<br>The Art of Light and Long Exposure

<br>
<br>Your visual system perceives the world as a series of images that are uniformly
<br>integrated over a variable time period. Interesting things manifest when you
<br>play with the integration period and treat the elements independently.  Using
<br>the camera, we can see into this gauzy, surreal realm.

<br>Images are available here.

<br>I've been having a blast with my new Nikon SB-700 speedlight.  This evening I
<br>used it for some high speed experiments to capture liquid in motion.
<br>
<br>Most people know that short shutter speeds can be used to freeze motion, but you
<br>usually only achieve 1/4000 of a second, and that's in bright daylight.

<br>Wordpress.org. Dreamhost got some good (admittedly anecdotal) reviews.
<br>However, I was turned off by their lack of phone support. And so, I signed up
<br>with Bluehost, Wordpress' top recommended service. They impressed me with many
<br>how-to videos and other articles, as well as phone and online chat support
<br>options.
<br>
<br>However, their service left me feeling nothing but blue. Even signing up was a
<br>headache, and after much frustration I decided that their service wasn't as
<br>great as I was led to believe. Here's a breakdown of my experience:
<br>
<br>They made me scan and email a copy of my driver's license and credit card to
<br>them to verify my account
<br>4 hours later they hadn't confirmed the account, so I initiated online chat.
<br>The rep took about an hour to "help". Most of this was spent waiting for him to
<br>respond. In the end, he didn't check or confirm my account as was promised.
<br>Later the next day, when my account was finally confirmed, I was so fed
