SC2 Anyone?

Got home from our roadtrip last Sunday and went back to work on Monday. Downloading of pictures was delayed until last night because of Starcraft 2 so hopefully I’ll have some posted soon. Birthday is tomorrow and I need to hit the range soon, been way too long since I last shot.

Starcraft 2 is awesome by the way.

Start yer engines

Road trip starts tomorrow so I’ll be on and off the grid for 2 weeks. Big Sur and then up to Washington to visit family. Will be putting a new lens through the paces as well.

Now just need time to play everything.

Blog Overhaul

The release of WordPress 3.0 introduced a lot of good stuff behind the scenes that I wanted to take advantage of. The new built in Twenty Ten theme incorporates all this new stuff and is pretty nice so I ditched my old custom theme that I was never super happy with. Overall changes:

  • Switched to Twenty Ten theme
  • Customized header with one of my panoramas from Kauai (Menehune Fishpond just south of Lihue)
  • Built navigation menu using new Menu feature
  • Added Contact form
  • Added Google Reader snippet to display recent starred items in sidebar
  • Setup footer widgets with Recent Posts, Tag Cloud, Pages and Categories for unobtrusive navigation links
  • Deactivated Wordbooker, less content Facebook has of mine the better
  • Enabled threaded comments, giving it another try

WordPress 3.0!

WordPress 3.0 was released yesterday and it’s a very nice upgrade. Couple big features include custom post types and taxonomies, new default theme, new navigation menu system, merged MU (run multiple blogs from one install now) and tons of bugs fixes and tweaks. Be sure to upgrade!
