Why this website? I’ve taken digital photos for quite a long time now, since 1999. In this digital age that’s a long time. I’ve taken lots and lots of photos. I started with a Olympus D-400 Zoom which had the now miniscule one megapixel (1280×960) resolution. It took decent photographs and was a good quality camera for its time. The photo on the right is my favorite with that camera. The next camera I got was a Canon S40 with 4.0 megapixels. This was a serious improvement over my previous camera and my photographs got better too. Lately, I’ve added a Konica Minolta 5D digital SLR to my arsenal. Although it’s 6.1 megapixel sensor isn’t quite the numerical increase as my previous jump, the SLR factor makes it so much better than the Canon.
Update: September, 2006 I have now added my trusty cell phone to my arsenal of digital cameras. I’ve segregated those photos to their own photo gallery.
Update: October, 2010 I am now an iPhone-er, so the latest cell phone pics come from that.
Why a blog? I primarily use this blogging software because I didn’t want to create a site from scratch. I’ve done that before. I try to emphasize that this site isn’t a blog, in the most annoying form out there. I’m certainly not interesting enough to write about myself all the time. My guess is I have no one outside of my friends and family ever looking at the site. Mainly I put things here I find interesting that I want to share. Odds are if you don’t know me this site will be boring.
This certainly looks like a blog. Okay, you got me, there are some elements of this site that resemble a blog. However, unlike a real blog, I don’t feel compelled to update the website according to any schedule. I add things when I have things to add. I have gone weeks between postings in the past.
What are you hosting this fine website on? I’m hosting this on a Linode virtual machine. Check out this posting for details.
