I just set up and ran a new photoblog. You can find it here. I am in the processs of developing a unified front page interface that will combine this text and the photoblog interface. This is a challenge which is made easier using the php include method of page design. Keep your eyes out for it. In the meantime, feel free to visit the page at your convenience to check it out. I have yet to post any pictures, but that should be remedied in the near future.
Conversation with Mike S. in Oakland
Just was speaking with Mike who is out in Oakland. He just told me some huge news—Lauren is pregnant due in January! Congrats on the soon to be dad and mom!
On a side note, Mike told me about a new FREE web based game called America’s Army. The initial reviews are very positive. Unfortunately, rumor has it, it will not run on a T20 because it does not have graphics horsepower. Bummer, but those of you who have powerful desktops might want to try it. If you run it, leave some comments for this post and tell me what you think.
Digital Camera
Well after 2 years of strong service my Sony DSC-S70 digital camera bit the dust. This occurred 2 months ago right after the Sloan sailing trip. I took incredibly care of that camera so I have no idea how it happened. (Could the salty air have caused corrosion?) I was bit depressing especially since I was just getting good with Photoshop. Anyway my problem is now solved because I just replaced it with a Canon Powershot G2. I hope to get a photo section of this site up and running soon so I can display pics.
Modifying MT Templates
FYI, I just found a great thread in the mt website which talks about customizing building custom templates with Dreamweaver. Since DW is now my web design tool of choice, this will hopefully allow me to do a ton of customization hopefully in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled.
New games announced for XBox
I am not sure if anyone saw this,but Microsoft just announced Halo 2 and Team Gotham Racing 2. H2 should come out late 2003 in time for the holidays while TGR2 is not coming out until 2004. It is great news that the announcement occurred, but it is also disappointing that it will take so long for new versions of both games to arrive.
