Have you seen drop.io (drop’-ee-oh) yet? Well, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s the future of file-sharing. It’s also a gentle introduction to an impending change in the way we do things – especially things related to file-sharing, e-mail and collaboration. (See Google Wave.)
The geniuses at drop.io have built the easiest, most fun way to do file-sharing ever. It’s free, and doesn’t even require that you sign up. You can create as many 100 megabyte “drops” as you like. And, if you install the Firefox plugin, file sharing becomes as simple as dragging files or directories onto your browser. I’m creating a drop with a couple hundred images even as I type this. I think dropi.io is simply amazing!

Congratulations, Mike and Myrna!
To me, the coolest thing about this reunion is that Kelly’s aunt and uncle were able to round up all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen from their wedding – fifty years ago. Amazing.



Mike and Myrna have this spectacular view from their remote ranch north of tiny Friant, California.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Lhotse. She’s growing up fast.

Andrew and I tasted a dozen Whisky’s last night at a nice event sponsored by the Whisky Shop. The tasting was held at the swanky E & O Trading Company, which means that in addition to the delicious spirits, we had fabulous food as well.

If you get the chance, I highly recommend you attend a whisky tasting next time you see one. I’ve been to three now, and they are always fun and informative.

Andrew caught this fantastic shot of Sophie and Ursula on their first visit to Disneyland.

thedude and Kellster like the shot so much that we made a magnet out of it and hung it on our refrigerator. That’s saying quite a lot, because like at least nine other people on planet Earth, thedude also hates refrigerator magnets!

The November full moon is cause for celebration in Taunggyi, Myanmar. The Hot Air Balloon Festival must be seen to be believed. It was a wild and wonderful way to end our trip.




As beautiful as they are, still images can not adequately capture the cacophony of light and sound. Have a look at the videos below to get a better idea.

Grant makes a pretty good case with this shot – frozen at 1/4000th of second.
