Les Paul, Musician, Inventor, dead at 94

If your into modern music of any kind, esp that which uses electric guitars for instrumentation, this man is the one who made it all possible. From guitars to recording equipment, he is the originator and the reason behind what it is today. I never got to see him live, and wish I would have had that opportunity.

Edit: Soon after posting this, I found this video thats about 2-3 years old. This guy is not only humble, but he is an absolute hoot!

Got a new camera

For my birthday, Mom got me a Best Buy gift card, and with it, I purchased a Kodak EasyShare M340 digital camera. This is a nice camera. There are quite a few features on it that have me oohhing and ahhhing. There are low light and night photo settings, a setting to photograph fireworks, action shots, even a noob setting that does everything for you but push the button. To illustrate the level of detail this thing captures, I got my lovebird, Honey, in mid flight Click Here.

There are more that I have uploaded of my grand daughter that I think you will agree are much better than the ones we have been taking with our camera phones. Im going to try to get some scenery around here. There hasnt been much success for that with the weather so hot and hazy lately. I havent even been able to see the mountain for several days. Drop me a line, and let me know what you think.
