About this site
Mike
and I are having fun with the Internet and with sharing our adventures and
travels with our friends. We hope that the result of our efforts will be
educational and entertaining (both for us and for you). Come on in and
take a look around. And then send us an e-mail to let us know what you
think of our efforts.
What’s New?
We decided we wanted
a dog and had been scouring the SPCA’s and the pound. We finally found just the right dog on Dec. 7th,
2002 (incidently Mike’s BD). Her
name is Brandy and she’s an Australian Shepherd. She’s a wonderful companion and traveling buddy.
There are 4 new
pages of photos listed below.
Check ‘em out!
New We’ve added a Net Cam to the site for live
video. This cam works whether or not there’s
a computer running here since it’s got a built-in web server.
We’re married!
Here are a few wedding photos to get you started!
Cable Internet
ATT
Broadband has finally gotten cable Internet available in our neighborhood. We signed up and went live on June 14,
2002. So far, so good. We’ve got no complaints and are quite
happy with the speed. I see that
Comcast is going to be taking over ATTBI soon but that shouldn’t affect this
site at all since we’re hosted by XO Communications.

Camera’s
Mike
was using a Nikon Coolpix 950 up until November 2002. His new camera (an early Christmas present from Michele, is
the Canon G2.
Michele
uses the Canon S-100 Elph digital camera.
After
the pictures are taken, we use the software Paint Shop Pro and Thumbs Plus to
manipulate the images and create web pages.
Digital Camera Links
http://www.ckcpower.com Tom,
in New York, is the kind of guy that finds a need and fills it. We’ve bought monoculars from him to add
“telephoto” to the Coolpix and S100.
we’ve bought the adapters from him to attach the monocular to the
camera. These are custom machined
for each application.

This is the place to go if you need
rechargeable batteries and the special chargers for them. Great customer service.
