Finally got my copy of CS5 installed

A quick once-through indicates there is a large transitional learning curve from CS3. Looks same, but there are some nuances that I have to get my head around.

Interestingly, it installs in parallel with CS3, so I can fall back if in a hurry. However, that would be counter-productive, education-wise.

Learning is good, right?

Checking in, checking it out

So far behind...

Lessee; things are breaking, no more money, make do. Sounds like life is pretty normal at the moment. A little crazy, but...*shrug*

Hope y'all are doing well out there in the ether.

An Evening In at the Movies...

Just watched John Woo's "Red Cliff".

Wow. Epic only begins to describe it.

Spring 2010

It's raining. I guess we should count our blessings. Just came out of a high-wind stretch, with red-flag fire warnings; the rain should help, just a little.

Now, if only our elected officials (Executive, Legislative, School Board) can get it together...

On Auto

With some trepidation, I am enabling Auto-ISO on the D90. Letting go is so hard...

Portent/Omen of things to come?

My work ID tag fell off in the parking garage; is it trying to tell me something?

We're still here

Following the magnitude 8.8 Chilean earthquake (50+ aftershocks!), Hawaii had a tsunami scare. There were tidal shifts, but no damage.

Explosive

Wow.

That's about all I can say about the start of the 2010 Hawai'i Legislative Session. Amid the budget crisis and education issues, the Senate passes the civil-union bill. It now goes to the House for vote.

To a Great 2010...

Hope this finds you all well, and looking forward to a great, safe and healthy 2010.

Cheers!

Welcome to our Chicken Farm...

This is where our State's elected leadership resides, argues, postures, and occasionally get something done. With the current economic environment, they no longer have any where to hide. Unless we, the voter, let them.

Voters of Hawaii, watch and remember. Participate in the process, make your voices heard and, ultimately, vote accordingly. Everything these bobbing chicken head people do is to curry favor for your vote. Our voter apathy works in their favor; fewer people to please.
