About 13-14 years ago, as a kid, I remember watching a news program where they were showing off the latest in technological innovations. One of them was the spellchecker.

Happy New Year to everyone...
So after a busy and hectic two weeks, this was my first chance at another post. Shopping, relatives, food and fun in the snow - time flew by. I am also having tons of fun with my new D80, and I'm going to start a gallery on here soon. I'm also going to turn some of them into wallpaper versions for anyone who would like them (Yes! I will also include widescreen versions where applicable.)
Which brings me to my to-do list for the New Year:

Well, I have - my power strips are usually behind my desk or couch, and I can barely get to them with one hand - let alone a second one to hold the power strip down with.
Recently I've started getting more and more comment spam. At first it started out with one every few days, now it's about two or three a day. I actually like this - for now. It's good to see some traffic to the website, even though it may not be good traffic. It's a small indicator that the site has some exposure somewhere.
