• Thank god new Apple TV update undid all the weird behaviors from last one. Jump back at ends of shows & to top of menus was driving me nuts. #
• @taptaptap @mostlylisa The after shots look different but not necessarily better. Probably could be better examples. in reply to taptaptap #
• The not so subtle @Microsoft product placements in @HawaiiFive0CBS are so forced & awkward, it’s sad. #

• I had to install a registry editor on my phone and repair a corrupted text message. There is something very wrong with that on many levels. #
• I took 3000 photos in Canada last week. Slooowly sorting through them now. #
• Well, just experienced my first earthquake. #
• Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO http://t.co/obld5Al – As a user & shareholder, I hope Apple keeps following Steve’s vision. #BestWishesSteve #
• My office is wrapped up in plastic. Let’s hope it’s still here when I come back next week! #

At long last, I’ve posted the photos from my trip to Alaska. For those of you who don’t know, I spent a week travelling by cruise ship from Vancouver, BC to Seward, AK followed by a week on land ending up in Fairbanks, AK. Some of our stops included Ketchikan, Juneau, Hoonah, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier, Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali National Park and Ruth Glacier. We also spent Canada Day in vancouver prior to leaving and spent one day in Seattle, WA on the way home.

I took over 4,700 photos. Of those, I kept 1,300. About 600 are posted on my website. Click here to view them. I hope you enjoy looking at them a much as I enjoyed taking them!

Since more and more my blog posts seem to be about adding new photos to my site, I’ve now added a new Photography category to the blog.

I post hundreds of photos on the site and usually don’t know if they are getting noticed by anyone or not. However, lately, besides all of the dozens of contacts I get regarding my genealogy work, I’ve been seeing more comments on my photos. It makes me glad that I take the time to post them. A pro photographer in Virginia commented on my Hampton Roads photos, a model builder used one of my photos as reference for a model and last week I granted license for use of one of my photos by a company in a case study. You can check that out at Lencore.com.

If you are interested in acquiring or licensing any of my photos, please feel free to get in touch with me.

• Yay Snow! OK, few inches + ton of ice + a delayed base opening = working from home. Though I always wind up doing more work at home anyway! #
• Almost made it through January without getting the flu. Oh well, at least it’s the weekend. #

A few days ago I went to a birthday party for my friend’s daughter. She’s three years old. I was taking photos of the event with my digital camera, but someone else was using a disposable film camera. The birthday girl ran over to her and asked to see the pictures she’d just taken as she pulled down on her hand to see the back of the camera. I thought it was pretty funny to see that in her mind all cameras are digital cameras. Maybe film cameras are going the way of vinyl records. (You know, those black frisbees that your parents have in the basement.)
