I’m C-Looping
Saw the C-Loop successfully funded on Kickstarter, and I had to get it. This camera strap mount is so intuitive, you have to wonder why it took so long.
You can learn more about the C-Loop from CustomSLR and order from Amazon.
I’m Drobo-cizing
It ain’t no lie that I’m a believer in Drobo and its data redundancy. You just can’t trust all those years of data, pictures, and movies to a single drive that is waiting to fail.
If you’ve been waiting for a data storage solution that’s expandable and redundant, look no further than Drobo. And yes, I am now a Drobo affiliate aka a Drobo Champ. 🙂
Not Quite a Mini Mjolnir
I really don’t feel like the God of Thunder with this mini Mjolnir hammer.
Maybe that’s a difference between Asians and a Norse god.
Faucet Notes
Some notes about kitchen faucets for home kitchen renovation.
Like the look of this faucet. Matte, brushed nickel finish is clean and doesn’t show waterspots. Nice height to easily move dishes underneath. Curvy and smooth, but…
The height has a bigger disadvantage of splashing water. Since the water falls from higher up, the stream of water hitting dishes is forceful and splatters all over. The handle on the side isn’t so easy to adjust the force of the water.  I don’t have the feel for getting the water pressure just right. It’s either too much or too little. It is easy to change the temperature of the water though.
Must look up Hansgrohe brand.  Product feels solidly made.
An Almost Rainbow Circle
Forget the double rainbow, forget the mystical unicorn, and definitely forget planking. A rainbow circle is the next thing. I thought I experienced a rainbow circle and managed a partial picture.
Alas, a rainbow is technically seen opposite the sun. So this picture can’t be a rainbow, just a refraction of light. Oh the sadness.
Canned Coffee Search: SBC
I’m always on the lookout for new varieties of canned coffee and espresso drinks. I might have seen this in Hawaii, but in case I’m mistaken, there’s Seattle’s Best Coffee Premium Coffee Drinks.
I got the Vanilla Latte, and for my tastes, it’s just okay. Nothing memorable, but a very drinkable drink. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just the right amount of vanilla flavor to go with the coffee.
Found this at Vons, so in Hawaii, go look at Safeway.
Today Is a Monster Day
Beyond Apple’s WWDC starting today, Kanye West’s official video of Monster has hit the street.
Gotta Try the Dam Diner
With a name like the Dam Diner, you have to give this eatery a try. Down the street from the San Joaquin Hatchery with a view of Friant Dam, the nondescript diner sits there on the side of the road.
On the menu, you can find typical American comfort food along with the Dam Specials and some other oddities. For the best of the menu, check out the Dam Diner’s reviews on Yelp.
I had to try their namesakes, the Dam Burger with curly fries and a chocolate shake. The burger tasted fresh, the curly fries were like any other curly fries, and the shake was good and even better since they gave all the extra shake.
If you happen to be in the Friant area, you must eat at the Dam Diner. Just overlook the misspelling of “Fraint.”
More Dam pictures.
A Volt in the Wild
Parked next to us was this different looking car. I couldn’t recognize it off-hand, and no wonder. It’s a new electric Chevy Volt that I’d never seen in person. But there it was, spotted in the wild.
