General Update

Well, it has been a very long time since I have even looked at my site, let alone written anything on it.  I can’t believe that we are already the the second half of October already, where did the summer go?  Work had keep my busy over the last several months and that is good and bad.  One thing for sure is that it really makes time fly.

Several technology related items have changed around here over the course of the summer and the fall.  The main one is that I bought a Mac again after not having had one in more than ten years, I must say I do like it.  I am also using Aperture on it for my photo management.  It has been nice to get all of my photos in to one single location.  I still have a lot to learn about how to put the power of Aperture to use for me.  Also, I have added some new lenses to my camera kit, some F2.8 lenses are now in my kit.  I have not had many opportunities to shoot recently, but I hope to be able to put them to good use in the near future.  Also, the MythTV system is no longer operational and has been replaced by a couple of DirecTV DVRs.  Comcast is going all digital in our area and that made the MythTV option much less desirable, so after some research we made the switch.  Overall, much less to maintain that MythTV, but also less flexible.  I do miss some of the features of MythTV, but it sure is nice to be watch and record so many more cable channels in HD.

I think that covers what I have been up to for the last several months while I have been neglecting my web site more than normal.  Don’t forget to check out some of my photos in my gallery.
