For Your Musical Enjoyment ::

Little Johnny Kantreed with his cigar box guitar. I met Johnny last month at The Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza here in Huntsville.



Soon I'll post some things from One String Willie.

Sunday Evening Kitten Blogging ::

I really need to come up with a name for the kitten.

Masthead Is Fixed ::

At least until I forget to renew my domain name next year!

Broken Masthead ::

The photograph of the flag landscape in Lugoff has not gone away. The photo is hosted on another server and linked to another site. Unfortunately I let the domain name expire so the masthead is changed. My web hosts are taking care of this and everything should be back to normal shortly.

Did anyone get down to Charleston for Harbor Fest? I would like to have seen the tall ships. Many years ago I was in Torremolinos, Spain and woke up very early one morning and walked down to the Mediterranean Sea. There was a very heavy fog that morning and out of the fog I could see the masts of a tall sailing ship. Unfortunately I hadn't brought one of the cameras with me so the image exists only in my mind and it still is quite a striking image. As it turns out the ship was the Italian Navy training ship which was making a visit up and down the coast.

NASA Trailer At Charleston's Harbor Fest ::

If any of you happen to be attending Harbor Fest this weekend please check out the NASA van. It is an interesting experience and has been redone to reflect NASA's focus on the Constellation X Project, specifically the new Ares space transportation designs.



Details are here.

An astronaut will be at Harbor Fest for answering questions along with one of my photographers. If you see a tall, goofy looking guy with a camera standing alongside an astronaut ask David to take your picture!

Windows 7 ::

I was at a technical expo last Thursday and was given a couple of release copies of Windows 7 by Microsoft. I've been debating whether or not to load it up, but I think I'm gonna do it on the laptop in the next couple of days. One of the IT guys I work with has been running the beta of Windows 7 for the past few months and absolutely loves it, so I guess I'll take the plunge. The only thing about it is that the release copy self-destructs next year meaning I'll have to buy a full copy of the operating system, but I imagine it'll be worth it. If not I'll be out a coupla hundred bucks!

I'm trying to find out if Windows 7 will address more than 3 gigs of ram with Adobe Photoshop. The new computer build has 4 gigs installed now, but will accept 16 gigs although I only anticipate adding another 4 for a total of 8 gigs.

I see some video editing in my future!

Time to cut the grass today with temperatures in the mid 90s so I thought I'd post the photograph of the snowman.
