If you do not go to any other event, PhotoPlus Expo is the one to attend. IF... you are interested in, or are in this industry, you absolutely do not want to miss this show!

I have attended the last two or three and plan on attending this one! Each year it gets better and better... And the exhibitor list keeps on growing and growing! As my interests and skills expand so does my enjoyment and knowledge!

Last year at this time I was in the market for a digital camera. I knew what I wanted — kind of — but after talking to two exhibitors I realized I was way over my head and out of my league! But... IF you know about cameras and camera equipment... “this is” the place to visit... with everyone “all-in-one place!” For me, this was too overwhelming, so I made a mental note to visit with B&H Photo on 9th Avenue in NYC.

Next, I combed the directory to see who was there and off I went to visit with some of my favorites:

If you use any of these company's products you really need to attend this show. The demonstrations are to die for!

Stupidity or Just Not Caring?

I hate to label people, however, at this point I am at my wit's end!

I just did a mailing and as required by the CAN SPAM act I included a “specific” link for removal from further mailings! The link was further programmed to go to a special email box for the quickest, most efficient removal processing!

Why is it that people can't just click on the link, instead of making things more difficult for everyone by sending empty emails with just the word REMOVE in them. Remove from what? Some even sent empty emails that are just that... EMPTY!

I wonder if I am a masochist to have done the mailing in the first place!

Hurricane Francis

It rips at my heart strings to view the devastation the people of Florida are going through and have experienced in the last month — First Charlie and now Francis. It is unthinkable to imagine losing all one's possessions in such a way — a lifetime of possessions literally floating away!

We really need to count our blessings each day our lives stay intact!

Imagine if everyone gave just $1.00, what a help that would be!

President Clinton -- Well Wishes!

My heart goes out to President Clinton and his family!

It never ceases to amaze me how fragile life really is. It makes no difference how famous or rich we are — when illness rears its vicious head no one is safe!

We need to count our blessings and treat each day as if it were our last! When will we ever learn! NEVER wait to mend fences for another day!

Get well soon President Clinton... We pray for your speedy recovery!

NEW BOOK — Movable Type Bible

I spoke with Wiley Publishers today and their new book:

Movable Type 3.0 Bible Desktop Edition
by Rogers Cadenhead


is scheduled to be out the end of October.

From my experience with the other Bible books I have great expectations for this one and am counting the days to get my hot little hands on it!

AS AN ASIDE:  As I learn Movable Type I am muddling through the SAMS “Teach Yourself Movable Type in 24 Hours.” My personal theory is that the book should have been titled “Teach Yourself Movable Type in 24 Years!” This book leaves a great deal to be desired and it would not be on my recommend hot list! It indicates that it is for the Beginner to Intermediate user. NOT TRUE! (A review will follow in a few days to be more specific.)
