I have to stop myself for constantly commenting on how amazing everything looks now. I'm more of a manual focus guy, but it was easier for me to see things through the camera since it would be in focus since I can focus on things that are close, but not things that are far away. I could see things in the distance clearly through a camera, but not without a camera! I’m still amazed at the detail that I can see in the distance and leaves and signs.

The first time I ever wore specs, I just stood outside the shop amazed that I could see leaves on trees and read signs all the way down the blog. It was pretty damned amazing.So when you photographed things before, did you use an autofocus camera? I'm not sure I could ever live with taking photos that were always soft if I had to focus it myself (like most of my lenses). Specs are wonderful things!!

I'm not sure about the 7 digit code though, it seems complicated. I guess if there was some sort of book where you could look up the numbers it would make it a bit easier. That's great news about Gair and Susanne! It was nice to see you too (but I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I didn't see you clearly). That telephone thing could catch on.

It's a very low voltage device that works when the power if off. If you can remember a 7 digit code. it magically transmits your voice through wires to the other person on the end and vice versa. It's really neat! It is however losing ground as not quite as convenient as booting up a power hungry computer, logging in, waiting for a bunch of services to start, starting your browser, pressing keys upon keys, rewording, checking for spelling, etc. etc. Sorry Chris, I had to. Gair and Susanne are expecting a baby in September, thought I would pass it on. Nice to see you the other day even if only for a moment. Have you guys ever heard of this device called a telephone?

I've found these great things called Moleskine notebooks and they collect together several hundred sheets of paper. They also work with both a "pen" or a "pencil". Such an elegant and powerful technology. What will they think of next? I’m one step ahead.
