Went out to Mission Trails in San Diego to test out a new lens. We’re doing a Spring Fashion Shoot here for work (djpremium.com) and it was beautiful out. This 12mm is really fantastic for landscapes. Here are some test shots:
Have some big shoots coming up!
Geeks like me. My personal favorite, though I use canon:

You know you want it:
This Saturday, November 15th, there will be nationwide rallies against Proposition 8. In every Major U.S city, rallies will be held, and combined, these rallies will be one of the biggest organized simultaneous rallies in the U.S. One of those will be here in San Diego.
For other areas in CA please visit:

Throughout the nation:

There is a rally in EVERY state.
Remember that this is a peaceful march and rally. We are at the County Administration building for San Diego because that is where marriage licenses are issued. We have a mayor and city council who have consistently supported marriage equality and we are grateful to them for that. We are also not targeting any religious or ethnic group. Our opposition wants our movement to appear divisive. We are going to reclaim and reframe the discussion. We are about gaining equal rights for all and ending bigotry and discrimination. This is a cause every proud American can support!
There are 2 coordinated events happening in San Diego. The first one is a march which starts at 10:30 at 6th & Upas in Balboa Park. The march will go through downtown and will end at the rally site at the County Administration Building.
At 1pm there will be a huge rally at the County Admin Building. It’s located at 1600 N. Harbor Drive right near the Star of India on the bay. This is going to be a huge event and we expect well over 30,000 people and we expect national media attention. We encourage everyone to come out and protest Prop 8 and stand up for equal rights for everyone.
Please make a big effort to reach outside of our community for support. Invite your family, tell your co-workers, knock on your neighbor’s door, make calls and send texts. If individual rights can be taken away by a simple majority vote, what is next? We must unite and fight for our rights. Please note, however, that this will be a positive and peaceful protest.
Please repost and help spread the word.
Thank you all that have been supportive through this tough time!
Needed some fresh air today:
For the record, the bathroom at work is disgusting. It’s been “remodeled” once but really… it’s more like it was just cleaned up really well.
Anyway, I can handle shit stains on the bottom of the bowl (god bless your soul) but what I don’t understand is when that shit, literally, is on the side of the damn bowl.
Can shit be explosive? Has your shit ever been so EXPLOSIVE that it hit all areas of the damn toilet bowl? Cause that’s just disgusting. You need to either a) get your asshole checked or b) change your diet. That ain’t right.
Omega Turf to the rescue:
Even as many progressives cheered and celebrated on Tuesday, I was one of many gay and lesbian Americans who felt we were watching the bus of progress leave the station without us. Gay marriage bans passed in AZ, FL and most famously in CA (proposition 8). Similarly, Arkansans apparently feel children are better off in orphanages or group homes than in the loving care of gay and lesbian parents that would seek to adopt them.
I know you worked with many GBLT invidividuals in your activism for Obama’s campaign. We donated our time, money, blood, sweat and tears to the cause. Please do not forget us. Here is one thing you can do today:
The Mormon Church’s activism in supporting Proposition 8 is well-documented (see this, and this). They are even bragging about it in the press (Desert News):
Elder L. Whitney Clayton, a member of the church’s Presidency of the Seventy who helped lead the church’s support for Proposition 8, told reporters during a press conference Wednesday that he doesn’t have a total for how much money was donated by Latter-day Saints. He did say it was “considerable and generous” and that church leaders are “grateful for the sacrifice” made by members who participated in the campaign.
These efforts should not, in my opinion, be simply forgotten and ignored.
If the Mormon Church wants to play politics, I whole-heartedly endorse their right to do so. But let us not ignore the Church and State issues this brings up. Let us not turn a blind eye on the laws they have broken. Their substantial wealth enjoys tax-exempt status predicated on following IRS code, which forbids:
substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation
Also described here:
In general, no organization, including a church, may qualify for IRC section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). An IRC section 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.
The Bush administration’s IRS has turned a blind eye to so many violations of Churches campaigning on behalf of issues and politicians. This condones this behavior, and encourages it. Let us not let it go unnoticed or uncommented on.
I found this site, Mormons Stole Our Rights, please check it out and sign their petition. They have also helpfully filled out an IRS compliant form posted in PDF form here. You can email it to eoclass@irs.gov, or better yet, sign it and mail it to the address on the form.
I’m confident the day will come when I’ll be able to marry my partner, file a joint tax return, enjoy defacto rights of inheritance and unquestioned hospital visitation, without paying lawyers to draw up a library full of documents to protect my rights and his.
I know there will be court challenges and more voter initiatives, but please, do this thing today. A wrist slap from the IRS—heck, even just a toothless investigation—could go a long way toward giving this Church in particular, and all churches pause before they play in politics again. It is their clearly stated intention to rewrite men’s laws in “God’s standards.” Let’s say no to the Christian Taliban, we left Theocracy behind.
Please find some kindness in your heart to help those of us who got left behind, who were demoted to secondary citizens on Tuesday. We are hurting, even as we cheer. We need your voices and your help.
I am ecstatic right now! This is some of the best news I’ve heard in awhile. Doesn’t look so good for Prop 8, but President Obama is damn good news.
We carved pumpkins last night and Mark and I decided to go political with it:
Donates $100k to ‘No’ campaign!!!!!!
No on Prop 8
October 24, 2008Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.
See google blog here
However, while there are many objections to this proposition — further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text — it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 — we should not eliminate anyone’s fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.
Google co-founders Brian and Page personally donate to “NO” on Prop 8.
Silicon Valley hasn’t been a prominent player in the pitched fundraising battle over whether to ban same-sex marriage in California — until now.
Google co-founder and president Sergey Brin this week donated $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign, while co-founder Larry Page added a $40,000 donation, a Mercury News analysis of state campaign finance records show. With the contribution, Brin matches talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for the largest individual donation during the campaign’s final weeks to oppose a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
The six-figure donations by DeGeneres and Brin were among a group of large donations from celebrities and other prominent figures that recently have flowed

into Equality California, the lead organization battling Prop. 8. Marin County resident and “Indiana Jones” filmmaker George Lucas gave $50,000, while Lucasfilm donated an additional $50,000, both this week.Actor T.R. Knight of “Grey’s Anatomy” gave two $50,000 donations, while Monica Rosenthal, an actress in the comedy series “Everybody Loves Raymond” and the wife of series writer and executive producer Phil Rosenthal, gave $25,000.
Those large donations are among $9.2 million in large donations received by Equality California ( www.noonprop8.com ) since Oct. 6, when the dueling Prop. 8 campaigns last filed their extensive fundraising reports, according to records filed with the California Secretary of State.
THERE IS STILL HOPE. AS MUCH HATE AS THEY HAVE TO LIE TO THEIR KIDS AND NEIGHBORS AND CHURCHES, I HOPE REAL FAITH AND TRUE EQUALITY COME THROUGH. THERE IS NO SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. LOVE IS LOVE. WHAT DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT?
Stand UP against discrimination and vote NO on Proposition 8.
This video is a smash.
Mom: Have you talked to your brother lately? Is he ok?
Sister: I think so, I talked to him online the other day. He seems fine.
Mom: Oh really? He e-mailed me and said he’s chilling.
Sister: Uhh… yah, he’s “chilling” you know, relaxing?
Mom: Oh you mean he’s not sick? He’s not cold?
She loves her bones!
I was checking out CNN and saw this poll. Not sure how long it’s been up, but still pretty funny.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poll of any magnitude at 100% to 0%. I mean, granted the polls I frequent are from Perezhilton.com, there is usually always some douche that votes for the dumb ass. I’m just sayin’…
I’ve seriously been smiling for 5 minutes.
The F Word
Driving in my car with my 8-year-old in the back. We’re rocking out to an old Cloud Cult album when a particularly sexual, adult-themed song comes on and I skip it.
“Hey! Why’d you skip that?!”
“Because he sings about some adult stuff and it’s not for you.”
“What does he say?!”
“I can’t tell you.”
“C’mon, just tell me!”
“If I told you then you’d hear it.”
“You can tell me!”
“No.”
“Does he say ‘fart?’ He says ‘fart’ doesn’t he.”
“Yes. He says ‘fart.’”
“I knew it.”

I never liked how smart cars looked, until I saw an all black one. Super cute. I hope America ditches their SUVs soon. It’s time to care about our world again.
