I hear the rock soup is delicious.
It has been an interesting couple of weeks.
Normally, I tend not to discuss anything political or financial on teh Intertubes™, but the scene that’s been unfolding with our neighbours in America is, in a word, surreal.

Adding new photos with the Director program is pretty trivial (and it even has an Adobe Lightroom export module—it really couldn’t be simpler to update albums). More »
