Buying an iPad?

Going to buy an iPad? Have I got a new product for you! It's called iBridge(TM). It's a revolutionary improvement over the existing dingy, grey bridges of your parent's generation. The iBridge(TM)is stylishly designed with chrome and white steel. It also boasts amazing usability improvements:

* As you cross the iBridge, you get to watch your choice of 30-second video clips or to play a quick intensive game.

* Climate-controlled and driver-controlled crossing means you won't have to worry about crashing into oncoming traffic due to slippery or darkened conditions.

All these great usability and safety improvements come in attractively-colored iCars.* You get to choose your own color -- let me repeat -- you get to choose your own color as you cross the iBridge in fashionable splendor.**

Coming soon to iBridge: iCondos!*** Sell your old car and ugly residence and move permanently onto the iBridge as we build onward and upward!

* Safety limitations require only 1 iCar to cross the iBridge at a time.
** Improved usability means your old car can not cross the iBridge. Consumer must find ways to get their old car to the other side of the iBridge.
*** All decorating decisions and furniture layout decisions must be approved by CEO and Chief Designer for all i-Branded products.

While not the Taj Mahal, the pool at the Grand Ashok is nice.

Update on blogs.

I've updated my photo sharing scheme. This blog will link to my Picasa web albums, which will contain non-personal photos (ie, no pictures of kids and touristy shots). If you're interested in the other photos I take, check out my gallery blog at http://gallery.jerryharri.com/, which will link to Kodak Gallery.

#

I recently took a hiking trip to New Hampshire and a vacation in Maine. This is one of the scenic pictures I took. More can be seen at my new Google Web Album.

Picasa Web

I've decided to switch my online gallery from Kodak Gallery to Picasa Web Albums. I investigated other online galleries like Flickr.com and a Freeware product called Gallery 2.0. Both these systems had advantages, but I went with the system that allows me to upload easily from Picasa, which is the program I use to manage my images. I still like Kodak's printing options and will do a second upload to Kodak for personal printing only.

Lexington Fireworks display July 3rd, 2006. Click here to see more of the fireworks and the Lions' Club Carnival. With these pictures, I experimented with panning the camera during a slow exposure (2-4 seconds) and also zooming out during the exposure. I was about to experiment with zooming in when the show was paused due to the wind blowing ashes into the crowd. After the fireworks had been re-aimed and the show started again, I had packed away my tripod and camera. I hope you enjoy them. JH

Patriots Day

The Lobsterbacks marching on to Concord! Or, were they just heading for the Boy Scout pancake breakfast at St. Brigid's? :) More pictures here.

Moon Time

Moon Time over our yard inspired me to try my Canon Rebel XT at night. The light in the sky is from the recent full moon obscured by clouds. I was amazed the camera was able to meter this scene so accurately. There's a few more shots here.

North Caicos

The beauty of the Caribbean waters are just like in all the travel magazines. We had a terrific time on North Caicos, a secluded island in Turks & Caicos. The seclusion was worthwhile in many ways: no locking up the room, the girls were able to roam around the hotel grounds with ease, and we spent 4 hours on the beach one day and saw only 2 other people. There are more pictures from our trip at this web album.
