Fall is coming!!

Today is the first day that I truly can tell that Fall is coming soon! Here in Springfield, Missouri, it seems like we have HOT summers and then only a few weeks later winter shows up on our doorsteps.

The past few days we have had record amounts of rain because of the remnants of Hurricane Gustov. My home rain gage is topped off at 5in! On the back side of that storm is a amazing cool front. This morning it was 54 degrees when I woke up and today’s high is only 71. Needless to say, I am looking forward to fall!

Looking for Senior Pictures or Family portraits?? Send us an email and let’s schedule a cool few hours!

McCain Announces his Running Mate!!

I don’t have much to say…but it will be interesting to see how things go with Governor Palin!! I am kind of excited, but scared it could amount to nothing. :(

Do not quit your day job!

On the weekdays, I work as a computer consultant/project coordinator for a decent sized non-profit company here in Springfield Missouri. I deal with all kinds of technology, but mostly projects related to websites and multimedia.

Even though I am completely immersed in technology each and every day, I am still amazed at how fast it changes. I am even more amazed by our dependence on the stuff. On a typical day in our house we use a Treo 750, a Samsung Blackjack, two Dell Latitude notebooks, an iPod, a Mac Mini, high resolution cameras, two home brew PC’s for photo and video rendering, webcams, multiple external drives for storage and that doesn’t include all the “taken for granted” tech that makes sure my toast doesn’t burn! It’s sick!

That said, today I start a new project here at my day job. Something new, but not all that different than I have done before. It’s not that I am scared of the newness, just a little antsy. Like a kid on the first day of school. I really don’t know what to expect?! I will be sure to update the progress here…when there is some :)
