A couple of years back I had a brilliant idea… I do have then every now and then too but never really talk much about it… anyhow… like I was saying a couple of years back I had a brilliant idea… I would digitise my families photo albums… start to end! Most of mum and dad’s childhood photos were getting sulfurised…so thought it might be a good little thing to scan all of what I could and have them digitised, archived and then catalogued. Yes! Brilliant idea but an arduous task… and the volume of work hadn’t dawned on me till I got started.

So excited about this… Its 7:30am Australian Eastern Standard Time and our copy of Leopard Mac OS 10.5 has arrived… its not even the 26th in the United States yet ;-P (sorry had to throw that in) ha ha 
The packaging is awesome… and yes I’ll write more about it soon. Stay tuned… and leave your comments
UPDATE: Leopard is rocking my world at the moment. Its truly awesome. Installation + migration took less than 90 minutes and everything seems to work perfectly. Gosh you need to see how meticulously thought out this version of the Operating System is!! That being said it will tak eme a while to start using Finder again as I’m a Path Finder boy.
I’m now a worthy owner of a Canon 40D. Oh the joy! it truly helps you take your imagination further. 10.1 megapixel CMOS output with Digic III, 6.5 frames/sec, LiveView mode, Self-cleaning Sensor unit, with 3″ LCD display and Picture Styling Will post some shots as I experiment.
If you live in Sydney and love walkabout trails you’d already know that access to the Headland Park is now open to the public from sunrise to sunset. There is a gorgeous walking track that links Chowder Bay and Balmoral on the other side of the headland. The newly found park covers the former defence lands at Chowder Bay, Georges Heights and Middle Head in Mosman and holds a spectacular view of the north and the south heads. We had a little stroll there the other day and came back with some photos. Here are a few.
If you live around Sydney do not miss this hidden gem. There is a lot of information here about its history and access and of course the famous Gunners Tearoom. Sydney Morning Herald did a review on them sometime back! And of course you’re like me and love the thought of walking but not really… shh! its accessible by sea plane and water taxi. Take your pick.

The ultimate goal of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is to raise enough money to fund a cure for breast cancer. As Australia’s leading national not-for profit organisation established to fund all forms of research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer, we have a responsibility to ensure that the funds you work so hard to raise are used in the best possible way as we move towards making our goal a reality.
Thanks for the reminder Russ.
