It is the business end of my shower head, taken from within the cone spraying water, while taking a shower after today&#8217;s bike ride.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting something like this for when out on my bike, <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/09\/11\/london-in-november\/\">traveling in the expectantly rainy UK<\/a>, and other random places where I don&#8217;t want to bring or risk my DSLR. (<a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/olympus_stylus_850_sw\/\">Here are a bunch of photos of the Olympus Stylus 850 SW and the SanDisk 8GB microSDHC which make up this camera setup.<\/a> Thus far it all seems to work well together and holds 1992 of the highest quality photos the camera can take.)<\/p>\n<p>Today was a mostly-day-off from work, in exchange for some rather frustrating work this weekend. While leaving my parents house at 10:30pm on Saturday I was called into an issue which I worked on until 7:30am on Sunday. This was not fun and pretty much ruined my Saturday evening and Sunday, so I needed another day to do stuff. Today worked out well, though, as I ended up&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/09\/24\/fnm-740-175\/\">&#8230;buying what I believe to be an undervalued stock.<\/a><br \/>\n&#8230;getting <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/computers\/banstyle_nuxx_net\/\">banstyle.nuxx.net<\/a> installed. (More on this later.)<br \/>\n&#8230;receiving my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikelights.com\/Products\/Stella180N.htm\">Stella 180-N head light<\/a>, which I may return as a better deal may have come along.<br \/>\n&#8230;receiving and photographing <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/olympus_stylus_850_sw\/\">my new Olympus Stylus 850 SW and the SanDisk 8GB microSDHC card<\/a> and taking <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/olympus_stylus_850_sw\/P9240008.JPG.html\">the aforementioned photo in the shower<\/a>.<br \/>\n&#8230;going for a nice evening \/ night time bike ride at Stony Creek with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmba.org\">MMBA<\/a>.<br \/>\n&#8230;using a bike headlight for the first time, although it was borrowed (thanks, Mike!) as I don&#8217;t want to use the one I received.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, all in all it&#8217;s been a good day, even with attending a few conference calls here and there. Now I just need to sort out what&#8217;s going on with me and bike headlights, relax a bit more, then get a good night sleep. This shouldn&#8217;t be too hard as it&#8217;s only 11pm or so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s one of the first photos out of my new Olympus Stylus 850 SW which was purchased so that I&#8217;d have a decent pocket-sized ruggedized&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/09\/24\/olympus-stylus-850-sw\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Olympus Stylus 850 SW<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,10,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acquired-things","category-cycling","category-work","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":423,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417\/revisions\/423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
