Okay, my turn...
And 3 for the price of one, so to speak:
http://web.locallink.net/~cpeters/photos
/me - some rather poor digital images of myself. In fact, the only face
forward shot of me in digital format is from a photocd of our trip to South
Manitou Island on Lake Michigan last year. The woman in the photo is not my
wife :) Seriously, it's her best friend. I'll track down a good photo of
me & my wife at some point and add it here...
/lab - Up to date shots of my hardware @ home. I've changed yet a few more
things, added some shots of my shelf full o' gear that's still up for sale
(more on that in the next few weeks, I'm working on getting a website
setup).
/aztek - Well, i've been meaning to get these up for a while. My Honda
Prelude finally puttered out last December, so I had to go car shopping.
First week of March I bought my new Rescue vehicle, a 2001 Pontiac Aztek GT
AWD. This thing is awesome! I'm pretty sure there's enough room in the
back height and lengthwise for a full 4/690 rack (the seats
flip/fold/remove). So far I've had 2 boxed up 19" monitors and 2 Alphas in
packaging in the back end all at once. I'll be sure to get photos of the
first rescue trip I make in it :) The Aztek has been one hell of a vehicle,
even if I did have to give up a 5-speed stick to get it...
The next vehicle will be likely be a Golf GTI for my wife to replace our
former rescue vehicle, a '97 Geo Tracker 4 door. That, or I'll land that
great job and get the Audi S4 I too have been salivating after :)
BTW, the last 2 sets of photos came off my new digital camera - finally
broke down and picked up a Kodak DC3400 back in January. Excellent camera,
very affordable (mine was something like $299-340, don't recall exactly).
If you like the compact flash format, I highly recommend this one. The
PCMCIA convertors only run about $12, so I'm watching the discussions about
the Sun PCMCIA readers on the SunHELP list and thinking about adding
something to my 1/200E so I can access the photos from my camera there...
