Description of Pictures: The Smithsonian sponsored an adults-only event at an exhibit they had dealing with inventions. Beverages--milk and cookies--were provided. Frankly, I've never been a creative person so I really couldn't relate to much of what was there. It was interesting playing the game with the blocks on the tilting board though. As an implementer, I tend to build things safely by piling them up in the center. However, the inventor who had created a new way to set up backpacks by basing the straps on the design on a suspension bridge, came in and immediately started placing pieces on the extreme edges of the board. A completely different behavior pattern!

Description of Subject Matter: The James Smithson Society is a group of fairly high donors to the Smithsonian Institution. As the Smithsonian web site says: The James Smithson Society was established in 1976 as the Smithsonian’s premier membership program for individuals who best understand and support the Institution’s work, and who appreciate a more personal relationship with the Smithsonian.

2002 photos: This was the year I started the photo web site. It started to come together in August 2002, mostly as a way of allowing me to keep track of the pictures I was taking. It took awhile to add some basic bells and whistles (logging didn't get added until November) but it's been pretty much like it started out since then. Archaic but working, and free! Trips this year: Two weeks out west, one week in New York, and one week down south. Image quality isn't going to be very good for the first half of this year because these are scans of prints. Equipment this year: I took the plunge and bought my first digital camera. It was August 2002 and I bought an Epson PhotoPC 3100Z. While a nice camera, it had some quirks and bumping it would result in it being totally out of focus until you manually shut it down -- something which blurred almost every picture I took in New York City one day.
