Various events that took place, either in my life or in the world in general.
I know Christmas isn't celebrated by everyone, but if you're one of those who does celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Even though the origins of the date are pagan, the meaning we have chosen to ascribe to it over time is certainly worth celebrating. For those among us who are Christians, it means our Savior's birth. … Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Back on August 15, I wrote about the "new E-1", the Pro DSLR from Olympus that would replace the existing E-1. I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the launch party for that new DSLR, officially called the E-3, on October 16. The party was held at the Museum of Natural History in NYC, and … Continue reading The Olympus E-3 Launch Party

Ligia and I attended the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's 2007 Annual Donor Thank You Concert last night. It was held at Strathmore Concert Hall. Pete & Nicole, thank you for the tickets! It was simply amazing. I realized two things during the concert: The older I get, the more I appreciate classical music. The BSO is … Continue reading BSO's Annual Donor Thank You Concert
