Here are some photos I shot during yesterday's air show practice for Fleet Week 2010 here in San Francisco. For this year's show, I rented a gigantic 400mm lens from BorrowLenses.com. You can see the full set here.

How crazy was this 400mm lens? Check out this photo of myself and Marcie Lynn (a fantastic Bay Area photographer).

It's Fleet Week 2010 here in San Francisco. And so begins four days of jets flying over San Francisco, to the excitement of some and the ire of others!

I took this photo from the top of our office building in SOMA today with a Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 lens. The thing weighs more than I do.

Looking forward to scoring some more ridiculous shots with it.

Via our internal team chat this morning at work. You think there'd be more Project Runway fans around, since we all appreciate good design here.

Last week, I was in Boston to help setup our latest gdgt live event (recap soon). I landed in Boston at 7AM on Tuesday and left at around 7PM on Thursday.

For the 60 hours or so that I was in Boston, here's a heat map of the locations I visited, based on my Foursquare checkins.

I'm currently somewhere over New York state, flying Virgin America back from Boston (where we had our gdgt live event last night). I only brought my iPad with me on this trip. Which is painful, because Civilization V is currently out!

So, I wanted to see if it was even possible to play. Are you ready for this mark of desperation?

Civ V running on Windows 7. In a Parallels for OS X virtual machine. Via a VNC client on my iPhone. What?! So, what happened? Screen shots below!

Yes?

Yes.

YES!

NOOOOO!

Some would say this was the happiest moment of my life. Those people would be correct.

I'm living the total yuppy life style here! What you don't see is that I'm holding a triple double soy mocha frappuccino latte in each hand.

Weird. Answered, but AT&T dropped the call.
