I made it to another year at Dragoncon! I didn't take as many pictures as last year. I'm finding that, as I get older, I take less pictures. There are no orgy pictures this year either. Most are just a few cool costumes and some of my personal heroes. Thanks to Bonedaddybruce for the handful of pics of me and from the Benihana trip that I couldn't take! Some of the pics have mouseover comments, if you use I.E. The thumbnails with the filmstrip sides are links to video files and will take a while to load. If you have a webpage, LJ, MySpace, Flickr, or whatever, with pics from Dragoncon and want me to link to it, please let me know .

Zensidhe at the JREF Million Dollar Challenge demo
The demo was on dowsing.
The host explains how dowsing works using one paint can with water and one paint can with sand.
Zensidhe on stage while the host explains the challenge
Zensidhe dowses over 10 paint cans, 3 of which have water and 7 have sand
He must get all 3 right to win the money
Zensidhe writes down his answers & the host tells of some excuses given in the past
More emptying of the cans
This can had sand. Better pics at Bad Astronomy's Flickr Set
conclusion: Zensidhe does better than any other dowser ever to take the challenge!

The Marriott Atrium
I got to play with my new camera
I messed with aperture
Played with the custom white balance
This one has the elevator in it
I changed shutter speeds
I was having trouble holding still enough
I tried laying down on a footrest...
but security insisted I put it back...
so I tried laying on the floor...
I finally just sat the camera on the floor and used the remote
but I kept forgetting the long shutter speed
Finally, on the floor, with remote & long shutter speed...
took the best images...
but security told me not to sit on the floor...
so I had to hover near the camera to make sure no one kicked it
Looking down the atrium from the top floor
Not nearly as impressive as looking up...
but I took pics anyway
