Geek Squad Mafia

The most difficult part of this post was coming up with a title that reflected how I feel about the Geek Squad or Best Buy. Another contender was “Best Buy Is Not.” You might get the impression that I am a little pissed off by Best Buy and their Geek Squad, and you would be correct.

March 2010 Project 365

Project 365 – March [adrotate group=”6″] Photos From March 2010 Another month bites the dust. I do not know about you, but 2010 is flying by for me. March was a good month, due in large part to the fact that my girlfriend came out for a week. That is always nice. We had fun and got a lot of work done.

Riverside National Cemetery

It is a very nice cemetery that includes a Medal of Honor Memorial, Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Memorial and the “Veterans Memorial” tribute to fallen soldiers. It is worth a visit if ever in the area. Enjoy the photos. [adrotate group=”1″]

He mentioned that if the weather was right he might go to the zoo. I thought that sounded like an excellent idea, and our weather is always zoo worthy. Tanya and I got on the Glide and headed to the LA Zoo. It gave me a great opportunity to play with the new Sigma lens as well. [adrotate group=”1″]

Sigma Lens

Sigma Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens [adrotate group=”6″] My First Test Shots My new Sigma zoom super wide angle 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) lens for my Canon Rebel Digital EOS arrived today. Within five minutes of arrival it was on the camera and I started shooting anything within eyesight. Here are a few sample pictures. I think I will keep it. Geek Good Girl and I headed back out to Point Vicente because she is planning on ordering one over the weekend. Had to let her play with it for a little while. [adrotate group=”1″]
