site improvements

The site improvements are coming along. I found some really nifty software to make photo galleries, whilch should make it way less time consuming to make our little photo albums. The photo albums it makes are nicer and easier to navigate, too. One of these days, all two of you who come to this site will come back to find it utterly transformed.

I'm reading many things simultaneously; The Decameron, one of Terri's college textbooks about Buddhism, and some stuff I bought in Portland (starting with some essays by Octavio Paz).

I spent some time at the Apple store at the Cambridgeside Galleria last night. I would love a schnazzy new G4. But I'm trying to be realistic, and ask myself what I would do with that that I can't do with my current computer. There's really very little. iCal and iPhoto are the best parts of it. But it's not like I'm so busy that I really need iCal, and it's not like we even have a digital camera that we'd even need iPhoto. Anyway, I'm trying to stick to my guns. I care more about software than hardware; I care more about what people actually do with software than the software itself. Which is what led me to find the schnazzy photo gallery software and inspire me to actually do work on the website.
