As a treat, here are some pictures that Sophia took with her camera in 2008. See if you can guess what everything is. (warning: there is more than 150 pictures.)

Here’s to another amazing year in 2009.

Here is what is generated for our site:

Seems about right, our lives seem to revolve around Sophia and Derek.

Check it out for yourself here.

And while that seemed to work, I found myself wanting to post more information about my images and about the photography industry as a hole. Unfortunately, what I had in place didn’t really accommodate this.

So… I’ve re-tooled the site to a more traditional blog, where I will still be posting my best images, in addition, all the wonderful things I’m learning about photography.

For the readers here, I’m still going to be posting images of the kids and other various things, but I’m hoping to display a lot more work on the photography site.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Doh, why didn’t I think of something like this? Oh yes, I just got an iPhone and didn’t quite know all of the challenges.

You should check out Sandvox, the website builder for the Mac that is coming soon from Karelia Software. It is in public beta now, so you can try it out even though it’s not ready to buy yet.

I’m encouraging people to sign up because it’s a cool program, and because if you sign up, I’ll get a discount when it’s released. If you start referring people, you can get a discount too…

While Lynnette has mainly been busy with work and baby related stuff, I on the other hand, have been busy working on yet another side project.

With all the events we seem to be “going to” and/or “throwing”, one thing that stands out is getting people to RSVP to your event. Usually, an email is broadcast about the event, ending with: “Please email me if you are coming…”, or something similar.

My solution, was to devise an extremely simple, electronic RSVP system: RSVP4.US (catchy name huh?)

Sure there are more robust solutions out there, like evite.com, but nothing nearly as simple as RSVP4.US. Basically, you enter a few details about the event, pick a template for your guests and… Well, that’s it. An email is then sent to you with the URL to paste in/on your email, printed invites, or whatever.

So, here’s my pitch: please give it a try when planning your next event. It’s simple, free and super cool. Oh yeah, it was made with Ruby on Rails and AJAX technology.

“Every year at CES, Sharp comes out with a larger Aquos LCD TV than the year before. And I always drool for about 15 minutes before they tell me it won?t be available for about a year or so. However, with its current 65-inch giant, it looks like they actually have a price on the set?although at $20,999.99 it?s a bit out of my reach. Specs are also impressive with a 1080p image, 176-degree viewing angles, 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and pixel response time of less than 6 ms for excellent viewing of quick motion scenes.”

In any case, after a few weeks of inactivity, we were finally able to record and produce our first Podcast. It was a lot more work than either of us had expected, but I feel like we know things to avoid in the future: namely, have a script prepared!

If you get a chance, please feel free to check it out. We would love to get your feedback.
