Look What I Found
In Rock Hill, SC .. Downtown they have had these lights up that are not too flashy, but are just right to set the mood.
I went down this last weekend and took some pictures. I tried playing with exposure times and even to get some pics of the blue lights, I used a neutral density filter. It was tough to take them and have them look right.
Here is a video accompaniment to the MP3 I posted earlier.

Remember when IE 7 was coming out? I said that I belived that the interface alone would be a deterrent to some. Well, I have heard 3 people, and I am sure they aren’t the only ones, have said…I got IE7, didn’t like the way it looked, and it was confusing..so I went back to 6.
I was getting my hair cut last night, and the woman whom I use, said We just bought a laptop and we got online and the first thing we started getting pop-ups. (Naked Women pop-ups in front of her Children)
Doesn’t that suck after you just got a new computer and that is your first experience? Ok, I can deal with Naked women…but I am talking about regular users here.
I am sure people get tired of me preaching about Firefox…but Here you go.
What have been your experiences with IE7 and “regular users”?

Nightgig » It’s beginning to hurt a lot like Christmas
It’s beginning to hurt a lot like Christmas
As to the mall I go
Credit cards melting down, at every shop in town
And the line at the post office seems to grow and grow…
It’s beginning to hurt a lot like Christmas
It happens every year
But what’s a guy to do, but try to make it through,
And pray the end is near!
