Still Alive
It's been a busy few months for me, and my blog has suffered for it. It looks like the last time I posted was - holy crap! - January 15!
Sooooo... here's the round-up of what's going on with me (in order of descending importance)
- Ashley and I got engaged on the 11th of January, and we'll be getting married in September of next year on the lawn of the Morton Arboretum's Thornhill Education Center
- I signed up for the Masters program at North Central College, and I should be finishing up my degree somewhere around the end of the decade.
- I went out to the MIX conference back in March, and had a rockin' good time out in Las Vegas.
- I got a bitchin' new camera that I'm really enjoying.
- umm...
- Got my taxes done just under the wire today... okay, that's boring...
I also got a big box of old family photos from my grandma and grandpa that I've been scanning in and uploading to my Flickr page. I'm planning on building a Silverlight application that allows you to navigate a family tree and browse pictures. I'll post some code as I get into it.
This is my favorite picture from the lot. These are my great-grandmother's parents. The picture was taken some time in the late 1800s.

Love those old-tyme photos -- you should tag them in flickr with a (guess) year / place, or at least "archive" -- I'm surprised at how many searches I get for specific years and locations...
Yup, that's the next step. I still have quite a few photos to scan, but the scan-resize-tag-upload workflow is a bit slow, so I decided to get as much uploaded as possible before going back and adding more information.
The end-goal is to integrate the pictures with my Ancestry.com family tree to get better meta-data about the people in the pictures.
