First experiment is to see if the Picasa --> Blog bug has been fixed by google. If a sunset picture appears above this text, it has.
More experiments: at work we got an iPad2 to start testing our application on it. Cool stuff and frustrating - like a layout issue that only shows up in iPad's Safari. I got a haircut today and let my hairdresser talk me in to keeping it longer than I normally do. Yesterday, after seeing a co-worker's new Droid Global I went and ordered one from Amazon. I continue to work with the 50mm Nikon lens on the Oly. Good practice.
An experiment I gave up on was the Nikon zoom lens that I also have. It is a "G" lens and a pain to use in manual because the lens barrel does not give any feedback to the user! It was pretty much hit or miss on manually focusing with the camera's rear screen. I stopped by a photo store today to get a price on a tele converter for the other Nikon. Price was over $500! I was expecting something closer to $100. At that price should just buy another m43 zoom lens.
Tinker is still on the stand and may stay that way until after easter. I am trying to mount a Pletscher rack from Rivendell on the front. I got the basket off and the front wheel off and they dynamo light off. I have to play around with P-clamps and I'm not sure if I have the right size screws. I may put an SA kickback (no brake version) hubbed-wheel on the back. And I'm still considering Sparrow style bars for the front. At this rate, nothing but the frame and fork will be original Trek Earl components!
I also managed to misplace my nice biking gloves! Figures, now that the weather is getting a bit better.
