April 2004

Today I went home and picked up my new Nikon D100 digital SLR.

A light bulb on a string of party lights hanging from the house across the street.

All I can say is “Wow!” This is an incredible camera. 6.1 megapixels, full auto everything, amazing color and image sharpness. Check out the detail in the above photo. No blurring, no pixelization, none of the normal artifacts you get with a digital camera.

I couldn’t be happier. Thanks mom & dad!

Intel just released their list of the most unwired college campuses…

UofM didn’t even make the top 100. We’re being beaten by Western Michigan and “Harvey Mudd College”. This is unacceptable!

And the founder of Intel is even a Michigan grad. You’d think they’d show us some love.

Update: A friend of mine reminded me that Carnegie Mellon University is ranked #6. I guess I have to go there now.

Apparently Arial doesn’t render the bold font-weight property all that well. So my links weren’t sticking out at all. I should use Windows machines more often, at least to check my site.

“Trebuchet MS”… You’re the one for me now.

Update: Yes, I know, a trebuchet is a type of medieval catapult. But its also a standard Windows font.

Ain’t it grand?
