   Happy birthday Amy J.  To celebrate, Amy J., Zen, Jake, Juliet, Tyson, Laura and I went to out for sushi.   The temperature the last couple days (like, the last 14 days) has been miserably hot.  Close to 100 degrees in the shade and +95% humidity.  You step outside and it's instant sweet.  I won't even think about riding my bike when it's like this :(

   Here is an experiment with macro-photography.  Sometime in June, our neighbor gave us a milk crate full of flowers.  Today, I had two in full bloom and decided to experiment with them.  It was so hot and humid outside that went I brought out my camera, my lenses immediately fogged up from having been air conditioned inside.  Despite the gross heat, I placed the flowers in full sunlight and played with large apertures and macro adapters.
   This picture has been taken with my 75-300mm lens using a 4x and 2x (so 6x) macro adapters.  The focal length is 140mm, which puts you insanely close.  Despite having an aperture of F/13, the depth of field is quote shallow and only the flower's stamens are in focus.  The shot itself was not easy to get.  Moving just slightly would knock the picture out of focus and the high zoom on such a small target meant shaky hands are a real pain.  However, the lens's image stabilizer helped a great deal with the shake, and I was happy with a good number of the shots I took.

   This is the view from the observation deck at Big Hill's Park with one alteration—both the Rock River Generating station and the Riverside Energy Center power plants have been removed.  Not since the early 1950ies has this uninterrupted view existed.  Clean up for the picture was very quick, despite having to redraw about 50% of the horizon.

   Found a bug in some of my AJAX code.  I have a function called GetFormAsString, which, as the name might suggest, fetches all elements of a form and converts them into a string for a GET-style URL.  One of the places I used this code was in the gallery scripts to add comments to pictures.  There, I made an AJAX call each time a field was changed so there would be no need to submit the form before continuing onto an other picture.  I found, however, changing a picture who's file name had an ampersand made the picture disappear from the list.  After I discovered this, it didn't take long to realize why—the ampersand is a field separator in URL.  This led me to the Javascript function called escape().  After escaping the fields when building the URL, the AJAX code did what it was suppose to on all pictures.  (So Tyson, that should have fixed the problem you observed back in June.)
   A field of chopped hey.
