One of the key features of the new Cancer Center @ Strong is going in… the entrance will be this large sweep of open windows.


…and that’s the way it’s done… these panes weigh 500 pounds.

The new 4-story James P. Wilmot Cancer Center will open Spring 2008.

One more for Canon

I wanted to join the Canon equilavelnt of the Nikon Pro Services and found 2 e-mail addresses online… both folks got back to me in under 24 hours (one in just a couple hours) with the info I needed.

I’m sure the honeymoon will end at some point, but I’m still liking Canon. I used to spend so much time on hold with Nikon NPS I finally gave up and started using an independent repair shop.

And the Answer is… the World’s First Digital Camera!

Yes, the presentation I’ve been hinting at in earlier posts was on the first digital camera as developed by Kodak in 1976… it was an awesome presentation and a real peek at history.


This is the mission statement of the ‘Camera of the Future’ project.

It recorded to cassette tape.

As you saw in the earlier posts, I wasn’t the only one geeking out on seeing the camera… what’s so cool about being the photog for GEH is being able to go up on stage and get the cool angles, and to meet the people involved… what a great event. It was all part of a Leica symposium held at GEH.

Photoshop and Leopard

Having a great time with Leopard… Quicklook is amazing (you can see a full-screen look at any document/photo/etc without opening any application…look at a Word doc without opening Word, see a photo preview instantly by clicking the space bar!).

Anyway, I still use Photoshop CS1, since Aperture, I’m more about workflow than the newer gadgets in Photoshop… anyway, if it helps anyone else:
After doing a clean install of CS1 I wanted to get my work spaces back and couldn’t find them in the Photoshop folder with the other settings… They turn out to be in your User folder, then Library, then Preferences and you’ll see a number of those prefs starting with ‘Adobe’ near the top of your list.

Moving those from my previous folder (you did back up, didn’t you??!) to the new folder brought back my beloved Work Spaces.

Everything is running much faster under Leopard and there are only a very few minor bugs (and OKI hasn’t put out new drivers for my office printer yet).

I’m really enjoying it!
