Kallie and I are checking out Denver for the weekend. So far, the city looks nice.

Got some big news at work yesterday - I can transfer to Denver or lose my job. So it looks like we are moving to Denver!

We finally rented a movie (Lars and the Real Girl - very good, highly recommend) and hooked the laptop up to the TV, a 42 inch HDTV 1080p. Used a DVI to HDMI cable and the picture was pretty good. It wasn’t HD, since Apple only allows HD rentals on Apple TV, but the movie was DVD quality. The only issue was the time it took to download, which was about 2 hours, and I plan AT&T more then Apple on that. My neighborhood is wired with fiber and I want a fiber speeds, not crappy DSL!

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera would make a great backyard telescope for viewing Mars, and we can also use it at Mars to view other planets. This is an image of Earth and the moon, acquired on October 3, 2007, by the HiRISE camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Yes, there is a new iPhone on the way, but MobileMe seems much more exciting to me. Finally, as Apple put it, there is Exchange for the rest of us. Information is able to be pushed to multple devices, mobile and not, at the same time.

Obama has finally claimed the Democratic nomination for president!

Still searching for a link on the Times website

Say hi to Wallace. He is six months old. We think he is a Pointer Weimaraner mix with maybe a little something else as he is on the small side.

And yes, he is named after Alfred Russel Wallace, so now we have Darwin and Wallace!
