8 separate photos and 2 clicks in Photoshop.  Why am I just now learning about Photoshop’s photomerge feature.

Check out my new nephew.  Taking after his uncle already.

This blog post has been relocated here. I have decided to move this post off my personal blog and onto my new technical blog located here. Please leave your comments at the new location going forward.

Checkout my first jQuery plugin: Galleriffic.

What would you go with, the 2009 VW Jetta TDI or this new Honda Diesel?

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.  I am still trying to catch up with things from the past few months.  Here is a list of what’s been going on:

• Got married on March 1st (just got the pictures back and will get online soon)
• Honeymooned to St. Lucia for 10 days (pictures are on the way)
• Multiple large home improvement projects (finally wrapping those up)
• About to launch our startup website (http://racenation.com) by end of May, so stay on the lookout
• Completed the BP MS 150 bike ride in April (toughest ms150 of the last 13 years, 25 mph headwinds)
• Crashed my bike on a joy ride this past weekend as I went flying over my handlebars trying to avoid steamrolling over a young kid that darted in front of me not paying attention

I will attempt to do a better job going forward keeping you up to date.  Stay on the lookout for a flood of pictures.
