My second digital point-and-shoot, and the first I researched and purchased new.
I also purchased a dedicated underwater case for this camera, and brought it on vacation to capture video of our snorkeling excursion. In the days before iPhones could record video, and before they were waterproof, this camera held a special place in my arsenal.
Friday night was the BG Relay For Life at City Park in Bowling Green. Around 6:45pm, the Sky Team gathered at our campsite for a team photo. Had I realized that the team photo wouldn’t actually be posed, I might have taken a little more initiative to assist in posing people… but, especially as a first-year team member, and as I didn’t know the person heading up the photo, I didn’t feel it was my job to get the people in back to move up front where they could be seen.
Per Sheryl’s request: a photo of my cute skirtness. It didn’t come out quite so well, but you get the idea.
As Erk reminded me a few days ago, Aaron and I moved into our house exactly one year ago Monday.
I still wish I’d kept the digital camera handy during the move, so I could have taken pictures of the perfectly-packed 24-foot giant U-Haul, or the inside of our empty apartment, or the all-volunteer moving crew at their complimentary Easystreet lunch.
I do have some other pictures of interest, though:
Our house, at inspection time (February 2004)
The aftermath of getting the U-Haul stuck in the mud across the street from our new house
Our living room, after we got the furniture in place, one year before we got the widescreen TV
So, yeah. Happy one year in the house to us! (Only 29 more years of house payments to go…)

Anyone who knows how big that damn orange lamp is can truly appreciate the scope and magnitude of our new purchase. Holy shit.
I’m still working on a weekend review, but I did manage to finish my Ohayocon5 photo gallery. (I’ve gotta come up with a new way to make slideshows for my site—besides Flickr.)
There is also a great collection of photos at fansview.com, in addition to an informative narrative on the weekend.
Edit:
OK, here’s the overview I promised. Now, it’s kind of cold in this room, so my fingers are a little stiff; plus, I didn’t take notes during the weekend like I’d planned. So, I don’t promise literary greatness here. But, hopefully, between my photos and my narrative, you’ll get the general idea.
