The folks at Amazon always amaze me. All of the items I order from their site–with the help from my two-day Amazon Prime shipping–seem to make it to me in less than 24 hours. First it was simple books, and now a DSLR camera and extra lens. I’ve never had any problems with any of their shipments, nothing has ever arrived late, and I’ve been a 100% completely satisfied customer.
All of their efforts to create a seamless customer experience from finding products, ordering them, the billing process, and shipping and receiving have not gone to waste. They’re the best, hands down.
I’ve realized, over time, that I’ve become a domain name hoarder. I had to renew a few domains this morning that were expiring and realized that I’ve owned a lot of my domains for at least two years now and haven’t ever had any sites associated with them.
22 domains, and only a couple have anything live. I am awesome and I hoard domains.
Welcome to the world of DSLR photography. Today I put in an order at Amazon for the Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens. I must say I’m pretty excited to begin attempting to take quality photographs. It’s a shame when you want to capture memories and all you’ve got is a point-and-shoot with a weak optical zoom and terribly flash quality. I have taken some decent photos, but plan on doing a decent amount of traveling this year and want to be able to re-live moments through photos. And with the Nikon D40–although it’s a beginners DSLR, I should well be on my way to being able to do so.
I’m going to start trying to write a post a day from now on. No other mention of the attempt will be made, all focus will be geared towards execution.
And I’m already going to procrastinate until later after football.
Our new digs are right across the street from an elementary school. Two blocks away, on the other side of the elementary school, a sexual predator happily lives.
His prior convictions? Two counts of indecency with a child by exposure. I’m all for folks having second–or in this case, third–chances, but with the frequency these kids are outside playing, it’s hard to believe that with such proximity that it won’t happen again.
Scary, I say.
