I Love Technology

eric   March 28th, 2006     

I am simply amazed by technology. This is coming from someone who makes a living from it. This week I hooked up a color printer I bought a few months ago so I could print some pictures for my mom to take home. Wow, this printer does everything. I can’t believe how easy and quick I can print a 4×6, 5×7, or 8×10 photo quality print (for those who care, I bought the Canon Pixma IP 6600D). Since Tobie got me a Digital Camcorder for the holidays, I’ve been amazed how easy it is to create and edit home movies (Yes Val, more are on the way). Today while waiting for Cole to finish up in the OR, I decided to create a slide show of our brief trip down the yellow brick road that I’ve chronicled with our digital camera. Once again I’m amazed how simple it is to create this level of multimedia. It took me less than 30 minutes to come up with this one (yes I know it shows!). One of the nurses has been playing a little Enya to the kids, so I grabbed her CD, ripped it to the computer and put it to some pictures (please don’t tell the RIAA).

So without further ado, click here to see the slide show (if you just want to download it to your computer, right click on this link and choose Save Target As or if you just click on it, Windows Media Player should just launch and play the file, this is probably your best bet for your optimal viewing pleasure). It’s a pretty big file, so it may take some time to load. If you double click on the movie while it’s playing it should make it full screen.

      OH my gosh, that was so moving. I’m still sniffling even through the giggles (loved the First Fight one) and seeing your family through the struggles and triumphs (welling up again, i’m veklempt!) just puts me in awe of you ALL. And Tobie is so photogenic - like mommy, like babies.

      Yes, we knew about that little Enya incident. We know…a lot of things. And we’ll be watching you more closely now. Consider this a warning…cause your kids are so darn cute.

      Man, is it only the women leaving posts? The estrogen levels are way too high in here! Eric, you have done a great job. Your kids are very lucky that they have all of this documentation. All of your work will be very usefull later in life when the kids are all rowdy. All you have to do is just pop in the DVD. Guilt trips are great.

      Stef and I are still pulling for you guys!
