December 3rd, 2006 — Update
My other theme was having some problems in Internet Explorer, and it was a little bit glitchy overall, so I decided it was time to update it. It took me a considerable amount of time to add some new functionality to the site (email subscriptions, del.icio.us / feedburner stuff), so I’m calling it quits for tonight.
I still have some work ahead of me, so I plan on finishing the upgrade over the next few days. If you have any ideas for further enhancements, feedback, glitches to report, or any other comments in general, please contact me.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Last night I saw Manufactured Landscapes, and it was a fantastic visual narrative about our world. It wasn’t full of catastrophic end-of-the-world commentary – just pictures and clips of the world we are creating. Movies like this always make me think about how privileged and fortunate I am to live where I do, be in the company of my friends and family, be healthy, and all that other mushy stuff. It also made me really happy that I am trying to use the web to do some good for people this Holiday season. Yay us!
Watching the movie really made me question how I am going to effectively document my travels. Do I want to make videos? Or are pictures more captivating and powerful? Right now I’m thinking that a very good quality digital SLR would be a wise investment because low-quality videos would not be as engaging. Ha ha, and I think the problem with videos is that that they focus too much on me and I’d rather be documenting the trip. Oh well, ultimately the decision will be yours and you can expect to vote on it in the coming weeks.
I take ownership of the car in January, and I still have to dig that hole. Tomorrow when I’m working on my Internet Business final paper I’ll take a break, and find somewhere to dig.
