This past weekend I ran into some problems with my Rebel XT not numbering photos correctly. It appeared that the camera was numbering photos fine at first, but apparently I put a card in that I didn't format before shooting a photo, so that card started off with a photo number in the 6000s. On sunday the counting started back over around 100. I'm going to have to mess with some settings, see what the best method for number my photos is. With my Rebel 300D I always just let it do the continuous numbering, I don't think I'll do that anymore...

I got my boss to drive by the Praxair explosion site after we had a meeting downtown on Monday. Here are the photos I snapped. Nothing really too interesting, they pretty much have everything blocked off well, though this shot shows a vehicle completely gutted and random metal lying around on the ground.. You'd think they would come up with some different storage methods after the problems they had last week, yet this photo shows all the canisters still sitting outside together! This guy was napping while manning the truck that is still spraying water on the site, I assume to cool things down. Maybe later this week I'll get down and get some better...

Microsoft has just released a beta for their pixel/vector based graphics software package called Acrylic. I'll have to download it and try it out this...

I've been meaning to figure out a good way to get organized on my photos. Right now I have my directory structure broken down by d:\images\year\month\day which doesn't work too bad, but I think I need an organization system that allows searching by content/topic, instead of just date. Scoble posted about organizr I may have to try it out...

Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll be able to get out and get some good photos, or at least attempt to get some good photos, of the Perseids Meteor showers. Maybe I'll arrange a little s2o gathering one late night out in a dark...

Something more for me to read if I ever get time.
