The Becoming Project - An Online Portfolio

I forgot how much I love this movie…

After speaking with my co-worker about apartments and Housing Maps I started looking for myself and my girlfriend. Last weekend we found a great place in Lincoln Park and we decided to go for it. We are both really excited about it. It is a far better place than any apartment we have lived in.

We are moving tomorrow and the we weather forecast is currently a wet one. Hopefully I can keep my furniture dry.

It is official. I am going to O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 Expo 2007!! This is the first time I will be in San Francisco so I am extremely excited. In fact, I have never been further west than South Dakota.

San Francisco here I come!

To my surprise, when I walked out for lunch in my hat, hoodie-sweatshirt, and winter jacket the first strong gust of wind was not freezing cold, but rather nice an warm. It is nice to get a break from the freeze Chicago winter. The entire feeling in the city seemed to change after that. Now I find myself thinking about what I could do outdoors, which led me to a site that lists all outdoor beer gardens in Chicago.

Sweet home Chicago!

I recently realized how much I needed a scanner. I have a pretty large slide and negative collection that has never been digitized. Also over the summer my grandfather let me use the family slide collection to show everyone what a real slide show was like.  While looking through all the slides  I realized how important it is to have digital copies of these slides. I think it is a common realization.

Anyways, this let me to do a great deal of research to find the greatest bang for the buck. In the end I ordered the Epson 750 M-Pro scanner. I should be getting it soon and I will gladly let you know how the process goes.
