011/366: Expensive Selfie

Another crazy-busy day, with a really exhausting pick-up basketball game at lunchtime, but I did have a little time to try out two features of the new camera: the "Live" shooting mode, and the display screen on the back that flips out. These combine to allow you to take a really expensive selfie, if you want to do that sort of thing:

Yeah, it's still me. Yeah, it's still me.

Of course, this is kind of a silly use of an expensive DSLR camera. Also suboptimal, because the camera's pretty heavy, and it's hard to hold it steady in the necessary position. But it can<.em> be done...

And that's all I've got today. Tomorrow I make my coaching debut with SteelyKid's second-grade soccer team. Morituri te salutamus, and all that.

In addition to watching and reading about college basketball, I play a fair amount of pick-up basketball these days-- I try to play three days a week at lunchtime, and most weeks I manage two. Often, the noon hoops game is the highlight of the day, and I suspect I don't want to think too deeply…

Depending on what you read at ScienceBlogs other than this blog, you may have noticed a New Year's fitness theme. Blame Ethan. So, now, everybody's posting workout tips and the like. Which means, of course, that I'm obliged to post my Fitness Secrets here for free, when I could be charging money…
Rhett is off at some sort of football game, but don't worry, I'll step up to make sure the Internet has pictures of kids playing soccer: SteelyKid in action at rec soccer. I'm assistant coaching the team (and the only coach for every other game), which makes it hard to get photos of SteelyKid,…

Good luck on soccer. I'm at 2nd grade level now also with Keiran, and I've been doing this for a bunch of years so yell if you want any commentary :)
