Ritzville Moonrise
The moon emerged from behind clouds during a drive from Seattle to Spokane, so I couldn’t help but pull off the highway and grab a few quick long-exposure photos. (It’s pretty grainy at 1000 ISO on my trusty old Nikon D90, but not bad for an impromptu photo capture.) If you like the work I ...

(Here’s an earlier shot I posted.) The falls are easily accessible after a short hike, and I imagine the autumn colors are starting to look really ...

Why Bad Bugs Hit Good People (Link)
Apple has had a great and terrible week. It announced 10 million new iPhones sold during the first weekend they were available, but then got blindsided by a bug in iOS 8.0.1 that killed cellular connections and TouchID for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices. That would seem like something that would come up ...
