I recently got my hands on the Canon Selphy CP710, which is a wonderful little photo printer. It is compact, easy to use, versatile, and most importantly (to me) uses dye sublimation technology.

It was time to pick up a new camera, so after some research, I got the 6.1 megapixel Pentax *ist DS, and I have to say I'm quite impressed.

I've likened the family vacation photo album to a book of mug shots, for pretty obvious reasons. Static composition, stiff poses, and the like. Page after page of this gets tedious. ;)

After this long stretch of rain—2.5 inches one night earlier this week—last night was finally clear enough to haul out the ol' scope and finally try some astrophotography...
