Day 1 and day 2 at Coachella were very good, but day 3 is why I was there. I achieved one of my life's goals that day -- I saw Rage Against The Machine live. You might call that a small goal, but after they broke up a couple of years ago I feared I might not ever get that chance. Rage reunited, played a kick ass show, and I was there.

There were other great reasons to show up at day 3 of Coachella. Explosions In The Sky, my favorite band from Austin, showed up as did Air and The Roots. Check the vids and photos below for a taste of what it was like.

• Point Happy Way
• Explosions in the Sky
• Rodrigo y Gabriella
• The Roots
• Air
• Rage Against The Machine rock (yes, 5 videos)
• Keep fighting

Coachella day 2, like day 1, was filled with music and more music. Day 2 was the day of panoramic photos; I took tons of photos and stitched them together into panoramas with some software. Red Hot Chili Peppers was the big act this day, though The Decemberists put on a good show as did Arcade Fire.

I went to Coachella, the mega music (and arts) festival held in Indio, California. It was three days of baking in the sun, drinking insane amounts of liquids, and watching some of the best bands ever perform for tens of thousands in the desert. It was awesome.

Day one of Coachella featured Bjork and lots of other bands I wasn't so psyched about seeing. And since it was my first day, I spent plenty of time taking pictures of the grounds to capture the moment. I also caught the last few minutes of DJ Shadow's act.

Two San Francisco traditions -- Critical Mass, the monthly street-clogging bike ride through the city, and Zombie Mob, a flash mob of zombies infesting San Francisco -- occurred on the same day a little while ago. Fortunately, yours truly was there among the dozens of other photographers and videographers to archive the event for the ages.

• Zombies ATTACK!!!
• Don't trust the living
• Critical Mass
• Zombies ATTACK AGAIN!!!
• Zombie dog
• Thriller
• braiiins...

It's taken me a while to dig through the several hundred photos and dozens of videos I've taken over the past few months. I even took the (laborious) step of converting all the videos to flash so it should work for most of y'all without trouble.

In February and between jobs, I went on vacation in central Florida to visit a good friend and stop thinking for a few days. While I was there, I went to Cocoa Beach for an afternoon of sun and relaxing. Here's a few highlights

• birds on the beach
• gone fishin
• take a two minute vacation
• my shadow
• me after a day on the beach
