Buying an iPad?

2010-02-02T08:12:00.003-05:00

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.

A trip to Western Mass yielded these glorious colors. More to follow as I continue processing the pictures...

A bountiful summer in the garden

This is a small sampler of the fruits of our garden this year.

Update on blogs.

2006-07-31T19:49:00.000-05:00

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.

2006-07-30T22:05:00.000-05:00

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

2006-07-25T21:38:00.000-05:00

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

Garden

My wife is a terrific gardener and I like to take macro pictures. Truly, a perfect union. Click here for a few more shots of the garden.

What a cute fella. Paige has brought home another classroom pet for keeps and has named this little anole Scamper.

Patriots Day

2006-05-11T19:57:00.000-05:00

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

2006-04-17T09:14:00.000-05:00

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

2006-04-07T16:12:00.000-05:00

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.
