Making Chocolate at Home

My wife and I are chocolate fiends, so being true to my nature (as a hobby locust), it dawned on me one day that I should look into this mysterious process of chocolate-making and see if it could be done in the kitchen. (more…)

New Nikon D700

Nikon finally introduces a full-framed prosumer digital SLR, the D700.  Order one now (check out Adorama – they are taking orders now) because new Nikon’s sell out quickly.  At $2999, it sits squarely between the $4999 D3 and the $1649 D300.  Incidentally, I’m selling my D300 on ebay as well as a couple of lenses under the seller name ‘rcgrabbag’ (what else).  Will I get one of these D700’s?  I dunno.  I have a Nikon D40 and love it.  It’s what I use 99% of the time.  Anyway, in case you’re interested: My D300 ebay auction My 18-200mm VR ebay auction My 12-24mm ebay auction
