In Indianapolis, shoppers stormed a mall, trampling fellow consumers and ripping a door off its hinges. In Seattle, police used pepper spray on about 20 shoppers fighting over the shoes. A man was stabbed in a brawl over the shoes in Jersey City, N.J. He’s expected to recover.I’ve never heard of this happening at an iPhone release day. Adidas should run some ads showing stupid Nike shoppers lined up while some smart ass walks buy with his new lame ass sneakers.

When all else fails...
Last weekend, I attended a photo meetup in the Newport area of Jersey City hosted by John Bodensiek. The weather was cold but dry. We met outside at the Starbucks next to the Newport PATH station. I had everything all set - two SD cards, two tripods, zoom and prime lens, lens cleaner and... I forgot the battery for the Nikon D40 in the charger at home. Argh! I used the only other camera I had with me - a Sony HDR-CX7. The Sony is an HD video camera with a 6MP image sensor and VERY limited manual settings. Despite the cold, with John's excellent direction, I was still able to get some decent shots. At least until the lights went down.
Liberty Science Center
Bhavna and I took the kids to Liberty Science Center in Jersey City. They had fun.
