Today my son was working on his homework and had to reduce a fraction. He wondered out loud if 61 was divisible by anything. I decided to type 61 into Google and was astounded to find an entire, very detailed page about the number 61 in Wikipedia.

The Internet has everything.

One of the greatest artist I have had the privledge of listening to over the last 8 years or so is Alejandro Escovedo. My brother, Paul, introduced me to Alejandro at the Bumbershoot Music Festival in Seattle back in 2000. Since then, I have seen him play live maybe 10 times.

This past Sunday, he played an amazing show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. We had great seats right up front, courtesy of my favorite line place holder, Stuart Pearlman, who I used to work with at AOL :-) At the end of the show, Alejandro mentioned that they had added another DC show for the following Sunday at a small hotel/club called Masion O near Dupont Circle. They were video taping the show and tickets were available.

The three piece band featured Susan Voelz on violin. She is an amazing violinist and even Alejandro mentioned that one fan thought she was Jimi Hendrix on Violin :-) Anyway, since my eleven year old son is learning the viola right now, I thought he would really get a kick out of seeing her play. So I got us a couple of passes and we did it…even on a school night.

During the show Jake was absolutely amazed. He kept talking about how the hair on her bow kept breaking and how fast she could play. If only she had lit her violin on fire at the end ;-)

I shot a bunch of stuff during the performance and captured some great moments. Enjoy.

From my good friend TKen…

“Callie Shell followed Barack Obama for much of the last two years, and captured some excellent photos (and micro stories to go along with them). Keep clicking ‘Show More Images’ at the page bottoms to see them all.”

I really enjoyed the images. My style of candid photography. I am available for the White House job if it’s still available. Willing to travel ;-)

I set-up Time Machine successfully to backup to a network attach storage device (ReadyNAS 1100) twice now and have had great reliability. But for some reason, I have been trying to do it a third time at a client site and it will not work. I have been getting errors like:

Backup failed with error: 19
Network mountpoint not owned by backupd… remounting

I looked all over the ReadyNas.com site and followed their instructions perfectly. And I searched all over the blogs and other folks are having the same issue. Some think it is permission problems and I have no doubt some people have a lack of write access to their network share. But this was not the case for me.

What I found worked was after choosing the Time Machine volume in Time Machine preferences, you have to EJECT the time machine afp share (and sparse disk image if you had it mounted) BEFORE time machine will be happy and start backing up. I think it is because initially you had the share mounted as “you”, a normal user. And when time machine runs it wants to mount the share AS THE OWNER (backupd) in some way. If the share is already mounted as “you the user”, time machine can’t mount it as itself.

So when you choose the time machine volume for backups and the time machine preference says “backup starting in 120 seconds…119 seconds…118 seconds”, just eject the time machine AFP share and it just might work for you.

Whoever he is, he gave me a chuckle this morning :-)
