The views were impressive looking out of the mansion, across the expansive lawns and down to Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean spanning the western horizon.

I don’t think I ever knew how many rooms were in the place. More rooms than Steph has shoes, of that I’d wager confidently. But, of all of those sitting rooms, drawing rooms, ballrooms, etc., we’d gathered around the kitchen table, which was somehow fitting.

Clusters of kids flitted in and out of the kitchen, snatching handfuls of nourishment and then disappearing into the various wings, swallowed by the long hallways and flights of stairs. Some of the children were blood related to our hosts, Neil and Susie. Others were familiar neighborhood kids, part of the ambiance of the home. Others were less known, and were very possibly living surreptitiously in forgotten rooms or levels, but were, as all, clutched into the warm bosom of hearth, health and home that so defines Neil and Susie.

Soon after the opening pleasantries of our visit and in between sweeps of locust-like teenage consumption, Neil turned to me, pinned me down with his piercing gaze and demanded, “So, what are you two really up to?”

At the time, we were on our way to the docks, in the last stage prior to shipping our overland expedition vehicle to South America, the start of a planned two- to four-year, multi-continent extension of our world explorations. We’d just spent nine months building the vehicle and a few additional months testing it across the western U.S. It had been more than four years since I’d shared a keynote podium with Neil, a friend from my years in business intelligence, and walked away from that career.

Neil’s certainty that, no matter what else we did, there was something that we were really doing, was and remains a common belief among our friends and family. Some younger members of the family (and, truth be told, some older members too) are convinced we are secret agents. Some friends and former colleagues harbor a conviction we’ve been stealthily incubating a business startup for the past seven years that will burst forth and sweep all before it. Many, if not most, have never been able to quite figure out what it is we did or are doing, no matter how many books and essays I write, articles magazines publish or blog posts we share.

Last Spring Steph and I both decided that since we a) were going to be back in the U.S. for a while, b) don’t play golf and c) don’t watch television, we needed to get something going or both our heads were going to explode. Subsequently, the speculation has only grown even more intense. The more we poked around, attended conferences and explored business models, the more fevered the theories amongst our friends and family has become. Just about everyone is now, more than ever, convinced that there is something that we’re really doing.

A few years ago, sitting at Neil and Susie’s kitchen table, I hesitated to answer his, “So, what are you two really up to?” question. It wasn’t as if we were really hiding anything. After all, we were just doing what we were doing. Finally, I blurted out, “Nothing, nothing, we’re not really doing anything. We’re just heading overseas.” Neil and Susie’s doubtful looks were identical as the room resonated with uncertainty, if not outright suspicion. They didn’t buy it.

So, after all these years, to finally answer Neil’s question and to end, once and for all, all the speculation as to what we’ve really been up to, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0aAX2biCio

It turned out to be one of the most popular essays of that era. 

Since then, it’s turned into a bit of a holiday tradition, with old friends asking early in the holiday season if I’m going to post it again.

As I mentioned last year, we’ve been to more places since I wrote this, so we no longer have room on the tree for decorative ball ornaments, it’s completely filled with just the lights and the little things Steph collects along the way we use as ornaments.

Otherwise, the story remains the same. You can read it here: http://www.hackneys.com/travel/seekers-12.pdf

We’ve got our own list of lessons learned from those travels here: http://www.hackneys.com/travel/index-lessons-byarea.htm

Gary Arndt, who spent the last three years doing the same, was recently interviewed by Tim Ferriss and gave his 20 lessons learned here: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2010/10/30/20-things-ive-learned-from-traveling-around-the-world-for-three-years/

I echo every one of Gary’s lessons learned.

I also encourage everyone to get out into the world so they can see these realities for themselves.

While Scott is out wandering the world, we are left to more pedestrian, plebeian pursuits.

Devoid of exotic destinations, we must settle for the typical, the mundane, the merely domestic.

“Scott” refers to our friend, Scott Brady, who is currently participating in a Europe to Mongolia rally.

I wrote this for Scott, the publisher, and our other friends at Overland Journal magazine. Everybody there except Scott is like us, stuck here stateside, while Scott enjoys the fermented mare’s milk and boundless skies of Mongolia while sleeping off the last stage of the rally in a yurt.

I think Scott will like this composition, since he was recently featured in a story in Forbes and the arrangement here implies he owns one of the world’s leading companies.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/dell-latitude-e6410-e6510-finally-make-it-to-us/

(click on any photo for larger size)

How this came about is, I’ve been waiting for the new Intel  i7 CPU update for the Dell Latitude to come out for months now.

My old Latitude is literally wearing out, so I’m limping to the finish line with it. Every day brings another prayer, another incantation and another stuttering trip through a day’s productivity, ever uncertain that I’ll reach tomorrow with a functioning computer.

Consequently, I’ve been monitoring the tech blogs and Dell’s site closely for signs of the updated Latutude’s arrival and spotted the 6510 and 6410 on Dell’s web site the first morning they were available in the U.S.

In the previous days I saw the new model numbers start to appear on the Dell site’s laptop accessories listings, so I knew the new laptops themselves were imminent. Sometime between 11:30 PM 30 March when I checked before bed and 6:30 AM on 31 March when I got up, the new models went live on the Dell U.S. site.

I ordered my 6510 while I drank my first cup of coffee that morning.

I do not know if mine was the first consumer order or not, but I doubt it. There was probably some guy in his pajamas sitting up all night, every night, waiting for them. That wasn’t me since I was, officially, sleeping every night. And besides, prior to their consumer launch the 6510 and 6410 were available to enterprise customers and large institutions for pre-order, so there wasn’t going to be any iPad level hype surrounding being first in line.

Engadget, a tech blog, monitored the updated Latitudes through their design and regulatory approval process, as well as their intro in foreign markets such as the U.K. After I ordered mine, I emailed the Engadget reporter who wrote the U.K. story for Engadget and used their “Tip Us” feature to give them the news. It took them more than a day to get it posted. Note that, yes, I waited until my order was in the queue before unleashing the masses straining to buy new Latitudes who might have delayed mine. Mea Culpa.

 The Dell Latitude series laptops are built and optimized for IT deployment in large organizations. The Latitude line has design requirements of five years of design and utilization stability for accessories, such as power supplies and docking stations, and 18 months for the design model (the laptop models themselves). This aids people responsible for purchasing, configuring and deploying large fleets of laptops in their organizations to buy products that will stay viable for lengthy time-cycles in their organizations. In addition, they are designed and built to withstand the rigors of delployment into the hands of a typical corporate workforce. That means getting coffee spilled on the keyboards, being dropped off of conference tables and desks, being plugged into outlets all over the world, getting punched when bad news comes in, etc.

After years of loyalty to Thinkpads, which I used for our entire field force in my last company, I bought our original D620 Latitudes on the recommendation of my brother, Jeff, whose company, Emerson, had excellent experiences with large deployments of Latitudes.

At the time, I needed two identical laptops, one each for Steph and I, that could survive going overseas for a few years.

I took my Latitude D620 out  of the box, plugged it in, loaded some software and ran it non-stop for a few weeks at 100% CPU load rendering video files for a massive family history project.

Between then and now my D620 traveled all over the world, from the world’s driest desert,

to the 100% humidity of the Amazon basin rain forest.

It spent a lot of time in the salt air of the beach at sea level,

and at very high altitudes for weeks at a time, such as on this road at over 16,000 feet  (4,877 meters) elevation.

While in some very unlikely places, such as next to this glacier,

I used my D620 to write thousands of emails, scores of blog posts, dozens of essays, a few white papers and two books.

As well as editing, processing and posting tens of thousands of photos.

(click photo for full size collage)

Including a few from some very special places,

and a few from places where we had absolutely no idea where we were.

So, now, after several hard drive and memory capacity upgrades, after thousands of hours of 100% load usage, after literally wearing through the keys, and after zero failures, it’s finally time to retire the trusty Latitude D620.

The King is dead. Long live the King.

It turned out to be one of the most popular essays of that era. 

We put up a Christmas tree last week for the first time since then. It was amazing to realize it had been five years since we’d either been in town or had a home to place a tree in.

This year’s Christmas tree resembles the tree in The Seekers. The only difference is that we’ve since collected so many objects from additional places around the world, there is no longer room for any balls, only lights and ornaments.

Otherwise, the story remains the same. You can read it here: http://www.hackneys.com/travel/seekers-12.pdf

All share a sense of grandeur that matches the contests staged there, and as you wander about the stones, if you are open to it, you can hear the echoes of long-ago cheers and smell the musk of human striving.

I had those thoughts as I approached a coliseum last night. It too, rose above the surrounding terrain like a temple of glory.

I was treated to an American football game in a very impressive, modern stadium. The stadium was larger than many university stadiums we’ve seen in North America and around the world. It was larger, in fact, than some professional football stadiums we’ve seen overseas.

What university or professional team were we there to watch?

None.

I came to attend a Texas high school football game at a high school stadium.

Not all Texas high school football games are played in stadiums this large or by teams so well staffed (14 coaches are listed on one team’s staff) and supported (thousands of fans drove over two hours to cheer for the visiting team).

(click photo to view larger image)

This game was a quarterfinal game in the Texas 5A state championship. 5A is the largest class in the state, for high schools (typically grades 9 – 12) with thousands of students.

There is another group of Texas teenagers who play American football for much smaller schools, some with only a few dozen to a few hundred pupils. Those schools are so small they cannot field a full 11 man American football team, so they play a version of the game that only uses six players on each side.

Those games are played at fields that lack video scoreboards and multi-level press boxes. Those games are played by kids that don’t wear cowboy boots as an affectation; they wear them as a matter of course.

Canon USA S90 site: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=223&modelid=19210

DP Review S90 brief hands on: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0908/09081906canons90handson.asp

Evaluation Context:    Overlanding / Expedition use

Purpose of this evaluation: Provide initial impressions and testing results of the S90 compared to other Canon “point and shoot” compacts, pro-sumer and professional cameras. For full technical testing of the S90, please see DP Review or other sites.

Background:

I’ve been shooting digital since the late 90s. I moved from Sony to Canon when I returned to shooting with SLRs in 2003. We have owned more than a dozen Canon still cameras since then, and have overlanded with them in six continents.

I have owned and used a Canon SD / Digital Elph since the product line was introduced.

Purchase purpose:

Replace my SD870is, which still works fine, but I put two black spots on the display by burning it on a sunset in Chile in mid-2008.

Current inventory:

Me:

• Canon 1D MkIII

• Canon 1D MkII

• Canon G10

• Canon SD870is

Wife:

• Canon 40D

• Canon 30D

• Canon SD880is

Utilization criteria:

The S90’s purpose is to take the role of pocket/jacket camera. I typically store this camera in a belt pouch or in my motorcycle jacket front pocket.

In our world of travel and everyday use, the pocket camera is used for:

• Grab shots

• Records shots

• Snapshots

• “Please take a photo of us here” shots

• Stealth shooting where the big SLRs draw too much attention/risk

The most important role the pocket/jacket camera plays for us is that it is always there. The most important camera you own is the one you have with you. In that sense, our pocket cameras have always been the most important cameras on our travels.

Evaluation Criteria:

Overlanding / expedition use places different demands on a camera than stateside suburban utilization. Aspects of design, packaging and efficiency can be much more important in the bush than back in the ‘burbs. For instance, the ability to share common batteries and chargers between multiple cameras can mean a lot when picking new or additional cameras. Small details of ergonomics and use, such as control placement and consistency of menus become very important in high stress moments in remote areas. And of course, rock-solid reliability is critical, since the repair depot is thousands of miles away past multiple customs officers all eager to delay the shipment and tack on expensive duties.

Methodology:

The evaluation consists of handling the camera, stepping through the menus, shooting some test shots and comparing it with other Canon cameras for size, weight, ergonomics and performance.

Cameras in test:

• Canon 1D MkIII

• Canon 40D

• Canon G10

• Canon S90

• Canon SD880is

• Canon SD870is

Size comparison:

L to R: SD870is, S90, G10, 40D, 1D MkIII

System size comparison:

A camera is not just a camera. When you are traveling with a camera, you are also traveling with its family of chargers, batteries, memory cards, bags and accessories.

In this shot, the S90, G10, 40D and 1D MkIII with 580 EXII strobe are shown with their respective batteries and chargers. Note that the S90, G10 and 40D have integrated stobes. The 1D MkIII requires an external flash, along with its supply of batteries and/or external power supplies.

This shot adds samples of typical bags used for the respective camera systems. The S90 is shown with two varations: a slip case (used by my wife in her purse) and the belt pouch I typically use when we’re not traveling by motorcycle (the small Sandisk pouch is used to carry an additional battery and memory card).

Ergonomic and control differences SD870is vs. S90:

The S90 is nearly identical to the SD870is it replaces in size, shape and weight.

The primary differences are the lens control ring protruding from the front and the top control dial. There are also some differences in the rear controls, with the removal of the ISO position from the rear control dial the most significant for day-to-day use.

The lens control ring is a huge improvement in camera control in this form factor. Software configured, it can control six different functions. This additional control input is something this class of camera has sorely lacked until now.

Two major downsides to the new design are mostly related to the “Please take our photo here” scenario. The S90 has a very small power button and a small shutter release button. Just about everyone you hand this camera to will attempt to push the top of the control dial to release the shutter.

One significant improvement in ergonomics is the thumb rest located beneath the control dial on the back side. It provides a natural place to rest your thumb and greatly aids one handed operation.

S90 vs. G10 Comparison

The G10 has a smoother and easier to control power zoom. It is possible to set the framing on the G10 with more precision than with the S90.

The G10 is significantly larger, but does not weigh that much more than the S90.

The G10 is a (very) large pocket camera, more suited to a big belt pack than a pocket. The S90 is a true pocket camera.

The G10 has more direct dial controls than the S90. I find it easier to control the camera with direct button or dial controls than via a menu. The S90 makes significant inroads here with the lens control dial, a feature the G10 lacks.

The G10 includes an optical finder, while the S90 is limited to the rear display.

The G10 also features a hot shoe for external flash and a higher pixel count at 14.7. Published reports state that the G11, the current model replacement for the G10, uses the same imaging chip, and thus resolution, as the S90.

Of the two, the G10 is more suitable for a serious hobbyist or “pro-sumer” who requires an optical viewfinder and/or is interested in exploring the capabilities of external flash and prefers direct camera control via buttons, knobs and dials.

For the shooter who is looking for RAW format, manual focus, multiple operating modes and other pro-sumer capabilities in a smaller package, the S90 is the perfect choice.

Capabilities:

The S90 is packed with pro-sumer capabilities in a very small package. Based on years of overseas overlanding and expeditions, of greatest interest to me are RAW format files, manual focus capability, and P, Tv, Av and M modes. While we assume that high ISO performance will always get better with new cameras, we could not assume that manufacturers would ever push down fundamental capabilities from the higher end cameras to the pocket camera world.

The ability to post-edit the RAW file is critical to saving borderline images from tough shooting situations. Manual focus provides the opportunity to selectively compose an image in a very small camera. Multiple operational modes that match pro-sumer and pro bodies enables you to utilize consistent mental models and creative paths regardless of the camera you happen to have along that day.

If I could have had any two of these three capabilities in this camera size during our last two years overlanding I could have brought back significantly more successful images.

Conclusion:

Based on features and capabilities, the S90 is the camera I wish I could have taken with us for the last two years.

You can make your own judgments on the image quality tests which follow.

I will post additional thoughts after I’ve used the camera in the field.

Test Parameters:

Setting: Interior, multiple light sources (some daylight, two different color temperature fluorescent), static subject, static tripod.

Because it is essentially impossible to match framing with power zoom cameras, I chose to maintain a consistent camera to subject distance of 115 cm / 45.25”.

I tested the cameras under consistent lighting conditions and shot each with and without strobe.

All cameras were set to auto white balance and evaluative metering.

Auto focus was used on all cameras for all shots.

Camera self timer mode was used for shutter release for all shots on all cameras.

Because the higher end cameras can operate in Av mode, I shot two sets of images with the mid-range cameras (S90 & G10). The first set is in P mode to match the 870is’s P mode of operation. The second set is in Av mode at F5.6 to match the higher end cameras.

The 880is and 870is generated largest size, lowest compression JPG files. The S90, G10, 40D and 1D MkIII all generated RAW and largest size, lowest compression JPG files.

The full frame RAW and JPG files are unedited and unaltered in any way. The 800 pixel shots used in the text are sharpened for screen viewing.

All selection, editing, etc. was performed in Adobe Lightroom 2.5, Camera Raw 5.5. LR handled the S90 RAW files with no issues. File import was via Breeze Systems Downloader Pro V2.2.2.

The primary light sources were two different Ott-Lite sources, one with “HD” bulbs and the other using their “natural” bulb. You will notice the wide variation in color balance in these shots. Overall, the 1D MkIII shots are closest to the actual colors as my eyes perceive them.

The SD870is and SD880is only have P mode, so there was no way to preset the aperature. I matched the P mode in the S90 and the G10 so people who are looking to move up in capability from a pure “point and shoot” compact could see and compare that upgrade path.

The 5.6 shots were done in Av mode to match the 40D and the 1D so people looking to retain creative capability in a smaller camera could see that migration path.

Please Note:

All images are unprocessed, unedited and unaltered.

The full rez JPGs are factory default output from the cameras.

The RAW files are unaltered.

If you want to compage with an image from a camera you own, be sure to process the files accordingly, e.g., if you normally apply sharpening, alter black levels, etc.
