I added a new photo album - Keeneland warmup. I made it to Keeneland one morning while they were warming up the ponies. I tried my panning technique, and I know it’s not the greatest, but I think I got a couple decent shots out of it.

We went to the Kentucky Theater last night to see Steve Earle and Allison Moorer. I must say, wow! She opened the show for her husband (yes they’re married!) and her voice was freakin amazing. She belted out tunes that just made you really feel the music. Then Steve took the stage. Now, I’ve heard some of his music before, but I was really amazed with the breadth of his songs. He was political, he was funny, he was deep. I wasn’t expecting much out of the show beforehand, but walked away a big fan of both Steve and Allison. We are actually thinking of seeing them in Hamilton, OH if it works out.

Despite all the great music going on around me, all I could think of was “I wonder if they’d let me volunteer as a photographer?” I kept looking around at the different angles I could use, the lighting, what camera settings I’d need to use, and on and on. I am seeing an amazing show and all I could think of is how I would use my camera in the surroundings I was provided. Is this normal?

After a long bout with cancer (I should say “cancers” since he had multiple forms), Leopold “Leo” King was put to rest on May 9th. I have also added a couple pictures of Leo too if you’d like to see them. (Continue reading…)

I recently finished the website for Baldani, Rowland & Richardson. I had fun working with the design, which is all css and no tables. The site is brr-law.com.

The lovable, furry greeter at Pennyroyal Small and Exotic Animal Hospital passed away January 9, 2008. Much more than an office cat, Simon never met a fellow pet he did not like. As much as he liked being pet, I think he actually enjoyed interacting with other pets more.

When I took Sadie, my first ferret, to Pennyroyal, Simon was one of the first to greet us. He would just flop down in front of us and allow Sadie to snuggle through his long fluffy hair. When not greeting customers, Simon could usually be found somewhere around the check-out counter. There was one instance when I was checking out and there was Simon sitting on the counter. My receipt was printing out and all of a sudden there was a loud scream/meow. Simon’s fluffy hair was getting pulled into the printer.

He had been sick for a while and hadn’t felt much like greeting. This made visiting the vet’s office a little less enjoyable. Simon was truly one of a kind. A sweet, handsome and thoughtful friend.

There are many other great stories, these are just two of my favorites. You will truly be missed Simon. Love all your friends from Pennyroyal.

I upgraded my BlackBerry Curve’s operating system over the weekend. Well, it wan’t so much an upgrade as it was a reloading of the original OS. I was apparently running low on memory (6MB) so I removed things I do not need - sample video, language support (Japanese, Chinese, etc.), themes, and other “non-essential” files. Now I have 55MB 22MB of memory!

It was actually pretty easy to do, although I was nervous the entire time.

Just upgraded to the latest WordPress and all I can say is shwooo…Most of it was flawless, but there was an issue with one table. For some reason it didn’t upgrade properly. Used my backup and fixed the issue. Hopefully there will be no other surprises with my upgrade. Let me know if you notice anything.
