Trip Up North

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go with my church College and Career group to a cabin in the Northern part of the Lower Peninsula.  I’ve been a few times now and I really enjoy going up for a weekend of lazyness.

One of the main reasons I like going is that its a very photographic place.  Theres no shortage of panoramaic shots, people, wildlife, astronomy, etc shots to take.  I think this is my favorite shot to date.  I love the deep blue sky, the fluffy clouds, tree line and wildflowers.  Pictures like this make me want to go back for another weekend.

Hopefully I’ll have the chance to go back this fall and take some nice Michigan Autumn photos.

Welcome

I think this is my seventh go-around at a site.  Each time I try a new blogging technology or website development software, I say “I think I have a winner”. Well, I’m not going to say that this time.  I’d like to think I can settle down on a technology that works for me and start cranking out non-sensical blog posts about random things that I like, but by now, I know that probably won’t be the case.

Previously, I’ve used Rapidweaver and Sandvox, and both programs are dynamite programs to use.  My only qualm with them is you are locked to one computer.  At first, I thought the logical choice would be my Macbook, but then I purchased an iMac and wanted to use that, which isn’t mobile.

Thirty revolutions later, I’d switched back to Wordpress after seeing a nifty story on Digg about Wordpress themes that are free but look like you paid for them.

Hopefully this will be a winner (but don’t be surprised if I never update it, or change to something else)
