Gene and Jim have been added. Still need an e-mail for Emelius and I am assuming the people that have not responded do not intend to field a team this year.

Stupid Interwebs

Wow, does she know about the basement? Congrat/Congrats/Congratulations, choose one that best applies based on the Congrat rules.

Feel free to use any of my pics Smeggy. I will try to get some better ones when I dig out all my photography gear from my luggage.

Finally made it to my house to get my Thunderpants out of package storage.

Took the flying MacBook Air into the Apple store for a check up and the Genius just gave me a new one. I am back to a new laptop and happy.

Those of you that have posted here that played previously should be good to go. I need an e-mail from Emelius and Jim to send your invites. Also anyone that wants things changed in scoring, league set-up, divisions, etc. go ahead and start shouting them out here. I am not sure if a couple players from last year are even here anymore so I might trim if I do not hear from everyone within the next few weeks and get our numbers down a bit.

Okay, it is time to activate our league for this season. I need to know if anyone that played last year wants to drop out and if anyone new wants to play this year. We can also compile recommended changes like Deepak has made and decide how we want to run the league this year. Won't be drafting for over a month but we can use that time to come up with a new name for Brent's team, "Can't get no Biscuits,"

Thanks Al, we certainly do not have skies like this in NY. Last batch, focusing primarily on animals I ran across and the clouds.

A couple more from today.

Some shots from a cloudy day at Dinosaur National Monument. I thought this guy looked like a monkey/ and this guy a turtle.

Steamboat Springs actually. Some iPhone shots from today's 4-wheeler run to the peak. and one of my trusty Suunto after a filthy day on the mountain.

The thing is still going strong. I processed about 100 pics in Aperture tonight without a hiccup. Pretty good for dropping around 4 feet from the Defender 90.

Some from today in Colorado.

Well, my new MBA took a dive from the passenger seat of the Landrover onto a concrete garage floor. It was at least in a small incase sleeve luckily but it still ended up with a dented corner and upon start up the mouse would not work. Restart seems to have fixed that for the moment but I believe this will have a much shorter life span now.

I have zero issues with Lion so far. Of course it would have to make the computer piss on my carpet and steal my wallet to be Apple's version of Vista. Launchpad seems useful but I still have not dug that deeply into it.

The new MBA is so much better with semi-intensive software (Aperture, LightRoom) than my previous generation model.

The 11 was my first choice but I decided that this one will be fast enough to be my main laptop for photos, etc. so the extra screen would come in handy.

I haz her. Interrupted the vacation to hit the Aplle Store as soon as I hit the airport.

Man I sent Colin to pick up my new computers at the Apple store this morning. He is going to have a long wait if he can't buy them in store until tomorrow.

They would be great, but 40k for background speakers in my office seems a bit extreme.

The Focal speakers are already out of the running. Showed up with huge imbalance between the two speakers. I have to set one to -4 and the other to +10 and they still need to be about a quarter turn apart on the volume knob to be any where near balanced. They are going back tomorrow.

After missing that deal on the SCM20-2 this morning that went within five minutes I have been trying to find my own pair. I head them some audiophile show and liked them.

My money is on disliking them all and just buying the ATCs I want.
