The Department of Homeland Security wants you to know that if you use Internet Explorer, you’re letting the terrorists win. I made the switch yesterday and I have no real complaints so far. It seems that images take a bit longer to load, but the difference is minimal. This whole incident may be just what the open-source movement needs to seep into the consciousness of the general public. Browser technology may not be the sexist thing in the computer industry, but Microsoft deserves a wake-up call. How many other products allow five years to pass without any major upgrades?
Assuming I can find a good vantage point on Sunday night, I want to take some pictures of the fireworks with the digital camera. Can any photo geeks out there give me some pointers on the best settings on the camera for this purpose? I know squat about photography, so keep it simple. I have a Canon Powershot A70, if that matters.
Hope all of you are planning on enjoying yourselves over this long weekend. This will be a working holiday for me as I have a grant deadline coming at me like a freight train. Think of me as you’re snarfing down your frankfurters and potato salad.
and I hope you drink Pepsi….lol

Set the shutter speed on super-duper fast, shoot just as the fireworks FIRST burst, say a prayer, and don’t use flash.
If I can get the CD back from my friend, I’ll share some of my shots from last year. After spending all day setting them up, I took lots of photos of them going off. Even nailed a few good shots.
This year will be a little weird. I have to work, can’t set the fireworks up, but will race down there help fire and clean up.
I hope you enjoy yourself this weekend and hope you get some good photos.
