Everything you need to know about buying a camera
»Link. Referencing for whenever I buy a new camera, if ever. With the development of smartphones and their built-in cameras, it is hard to imagine me (with my skill level) needing anything else besides my iPhone.

NY Times | In Classic vs. Modern Violins, Beauty Is in Ear of the Beholder
»Link.
“Teaming up with the violin maker Joseph Curtin and others, she corralled violinists attending an international competition in Indianapolis and had them compare three high-quality modern violins with a Guarneri and two Stradivari instruments…despite a general belief among violinists that Stradivari and Guarneri violins are tonally superior, the participants in Dr. Fritz’s test could not reliably distinguish such instruments from modern violins.”
The results do not shock me in the least. The idea that a long line of apprentices and masters with different materials might have created superior instruments has not been disproven, but this definitely points in the direction of doing a bit more research, especially in concert halls.

A Message to NASA from Pluto
»Link. The best joke of 2012, thus far. Also required a bit of cleanup of my keyboard since Greg so cleverly sent it to me while I was drinking tea.

About
Paul is that guy you see in a coffee shop staring out the window, idly scratching the tip of his nose, and humming the theme to an animated Disney movie while his Apple portable is humming happily in front of him. He climbs, hikes, backpacks, skis and loves the outdoors. If you're not into sarcasm, Monty Python, or puns you may never get a single one of his jokes, which populate his speech like streams of antimatter through dilithium. Oh, and he's a geek.
