Travel.

Monday, February 9th, 2004

For those of you that know me, you know that travel is one of my biggest passions. Travel knocks you directly out of your cozy american comfort zone and drops you fatly into a new world. New culture and societies expand your mind and give you an appreciation for things you may never have believed existed or even thought about. I’ve loved photography most of my life, but was on a pseudo-hiatus for the last couple of years due to the advent of digital technology. With the cost of film and development high, my SLR went into the corner, downgrading my creative photog world to my Canon Digital Elph. While a great piece of equipment, being limited to 2 megapixels and one focal length is just not my cup of tea. I recently got my hands on my first digital SLR. A Canon 10D, pushing 7 megapixels, and a plethora of wonderful lenses to choose from. So, that being said, my travels have become increasingly well documented. Therefore, I have put together a new website dedicated to travel, so that all of my wonderful readers may live vicariously through what my photographers eye might render useful in telling the story of that journey. Enjoy!

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson top the show during Sunday’s Super Bowl, attracting almost twice as many viewers as the most thrilling moments on the field, according to an annual measurement of second-by-second viewership in TiVo households.

The Jackson-Timberlake moment drew the biggest spike in audience reaction TiVo has ever measured. TiVo said viewership spiked up to 180 percent as hundreds of thousands of households used TiVo’s unique capabilities to pause and replay live television to view the incident again and again. Overall, the halftime extravaganza had a powerful grip on viewers. According to TiVo’s analysis of aggregated data from an anonymous sample of 20,000 households, viewership of the game’s intermission increased by 12 percent compared to last year’s halftime show.

You have to love how we get it done. Troops will be able to catch the super bowl in Iraq in one of Saddam’s former palaces on a “cinema-sized screen”. At least those guys are getting some relief eh? ;) Click Here

Only In Montana

BELGRADE - The local Harley-Davidson motorcycle shop wasn’t going to make it easy to win a 2002 Limited Edition 883 Sportster.

But three of the original six contestants still had their hands on the bike Saturday, more than 27 hours after the contest began.

It’s worth mentioning that the bike was in the parking lot, and contestants couldn’t take their hand off the bike for any reason, including bathroom breaks.

“I’m thinking there’s probably some Depends out there,” said Sara Hagen, advertising and sales representative at Yellowstone Harley-Davidson. Continued…
