Wedding Pics from Meep are Online

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Thanks to meep (thanks, meep!), there’s now a meep album of wedding photos in the gallery (just click on the thumbnail above “Album: meep”). That’s 106 tasty new photos, plus three (AVI) video clips that are a tad dark, but *sound* really great. We got these on CD a while back, but Michelle had to remind me to get them uploaded because I am a slacker. The slacker thing is also why only 3 of the 106 photos have captions - but at least they’re online.  There probably won’t be any/many more pics going up until after our return from Burning Man. Hopefully we’ll actually have some of our own pics from that event to upload this year (I even bought a housing for my camera to protect it from deadly “playa dust”), and then at some point we’ll get the “official” wedding pics from our photographer.

I’ve also got a (somewhat rough, but not too shabby) audio recording of the wedding ceremony that I’ll eventually post, but right now I have a ton of work to get back to, so that’ll have to wait.  Plus, the recording features our beloved Reid Jamieson singing a couple of songs, so I probably have to get permission from Reid and/or SOCAN before I post it. :)

A Dog on its First Walk

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

As usual, I haven’t written much lately.  Work’s been busy, the man burns in just over 16 days, yadda yadda yadda.  Truth is, I still could have written more, but didn’t.  My bad.  Today I will write that I just saw a dog (way up on the hill) that was out for his very first walk.  It seems that nowadays puppies aren’t supposed to go out in the world until they’ve had (at least?) their first round of “puppy shots“.  So he was several (six?) weeks old, and bouncing and scrappy and happy.  Just flipping out at the breadth and diversity of the world, and the scenery, and the other dogs, and the other humans…  Fun to see a great spot through fresh eyes, even fresh pooch eyes.  Especially fresh pooch eyes?  The dog’s humans were also loving the walk.  They said that he was their first dog (as a couple, anyhow?), and so in a way it was their first walk, too.  I look forward to a first-dog-walk day someday.
