At Long Last, Eh?

So it's been a while since I've put up a post, and there are a variety of reasons behind it, but let's try to throw a few mor eupdates out there, eh?

The biggest thing that I completely neglected to report on was the motoVenture. It's over, we survived, but we had to change our destrinations quite a few times. Here's a link to the map (with pictures showing the route): http://picasaweb.google.com/notjoelshapiro/MotoVenture/photo#map
Below is the album with all of the pictures individually. My Mom's pictures are not included, (I don't think), these are just the pictures from our stops and from my motorbike mount.

I got a lot of flack for the 500-or-so posts that were put up during the trip, and I can explain that as a technical malfunction. The pictures from that ridiculous string were sent individually instead of in a pack, and the person who uploaded them didn't know what it would do to all of the poor inboxes out there.

Anyhoo, that's about the last of the motoVenture for a whilie (until I start editing the video sometime in the future).

I am working on some cool projects right now, both for my usual employer (The Daily), but also for the University of Washington's athletic department (www.gohuskies.com). I'm not done with our first video yet, but it's looking great, and might be ready to go up as soon as tomorrow, we'll see how Wimbledon goes, and if I want to edit the day away. Cool?

Summer has started off hot and my new roommate and I are dealing with it rather painfully, and I now realize just how poorly I've been doing at keeping the blog updated, so pictures and such'll be up soon.

I have been working for the past 5-or-so hours and my fingers (and mind) have started to fail me, so I am going to wrap this up.

As my map will show, the motoventure got us as far south as Tillamook, and as far east as Maryhill, WA. The majority of my pictures are markers for the map (so one can trace our trip), but I tried to restrict myself to taking pictures only when there was good scenery as well, so most of them should be interesting if you'd care to thumb through them.

More deets later, goodnight all.
