    The Truth about James Bond's Vodka Martini

    We all know James Bond insists on Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred. Well, it's not due to Bond's preference for a colder drink. Whenever the barkeep is a shapely woman, Bond will order his drink shaken, not stirred. There you have it.

    Pacifica Pier, CA

    Sized properly just for BITOG: A little crop: And a massive crop to show that the aliens have landed: Ah, let's post a larger version. It's tricky but doable! Plus a bonus picture! I love this new way of showing pictures!

    Red, Blue, and... Green?

    The red looks dangerous! The blue looks, well, baby blue, the green is soothing (or irritating -- it depends). The BITOG experience has been further enhanced by color coded mods.

    IM, Valley Pan, Fuel Injectors -- Part 1

    To see full size images, right-click each image and go "open image in new window." Then the image will open in a photobucket page. Then choose 100% size. That's very convenient, fellers! :-p 1996 Audi A4 quattro 2.8 V6 12 valves Did this last weekend, while on vacation. All in all a four hour...

    UBB Buddies?

    Is that some virtual male bonding venue in the BITOG man cave? Oh wait, I forgot about all the children, youths, and women that frequent the board. I wonder with what forum management comes up next.

    Nice job on messing up the smilies!

    Why not make us click our way through a three-tiered smilie arsenal instead of just through a two-tiered one? All smilies in one window would be way too convenient. I'm going to resort to using old school smilies! >:0

    Nice job on scaling all posted images!

    This change makes zero sense, since text still behaves as if the images were displayed in their actual dimensions. Someone has probably been sweating bullets while laboring hard for a couple hours coming up with this nonsense. I just know that 98.3% of BITOGers are unable to right-click a...

    Fighting Irish

    Late Sunday afternoon I noticed a superyacht, the 'Fighting Irish,' moored at the Marina. The light was bad, but here are three pictures that still show the size of this vessel. I'm still waiting for one of the new unconventional designs to show up. Maybe I ought to check out the Tiburon yacht...

    Coastal Range

    I drove to Stinson Beach in Marin yesterday, but it was very foggy. I saw this VW Type 181 with a homemade roof and a sleeping dog. That's HWY 101 at Stinson Beach's main intersection. While I was walking on the foggy beach, I noticed a helicopter circling once and coming down behind the dunes...

    Wrong forum, but hey... I need Photoresist

    Does anyone know a a good source for a small quantity of photo resist? I prefer the liquid type that's brushed on, but a spray will do. I need only a small quantity, not a case, so that complicates things. Dy film photoresist like Press N' Peel Blue may work, but I'm not to keen on having to...

    Non-polar Esters

    Originally Posted By: chevrofreak There are nonpolar esters.

    SF, Aquatic Park

    All pictures are from yesterday evening. I went by bike from the Marina to Aquatic Park and spent about 45 minutes there. This shot was taken from the hill between Fort Mason and Aquatic Park. The USS Jeremiah O'Brien used to be moored here. The wharf buildings in the foreground are used for...

    The Golden Gate from Marina

    The following shots were taken along a ca 1.5 mile stretch at the north end of Crissy Field and from the Marina yesterday evening. That's maybe 40 minutes before sunset. That's maybe 20 minutes before sunset. I exposed fairly high-key to emphasize the haze. This give an impression of the...

    Whales, ships, a windmill, and lots of water!

    Alright, disappointment is sure to follow! As I may have mentioned, I live only a couple hundred yards from the beach. Thursday evening I went for a short bike ride up and down along Ocean Beach. I noticed a whale close to the shore. The shot is unfortunately bad, please blame the photog and...
