Windows 7 ate my optical drive!
By · Comments
Another quick Windows 7 beta testing update. It’s only fair to report the bad with the good and I seem to have found a bug. I’m not sure but this one may be a carry over from Vista.
Last week I wrapped up an event video project for a client. They wanted ten copies of the movie on DVD. I burned the first two or three with no problem, then the software (Sony DVD Architect Studio 4.0) locked up, or so I thought. Turns out it was looking for the optical drive to no avail. Apparently Windows 7 had eaten it! Read More→
Windows 7 feature review: Libraries
By · Comments
This is an update to my Windows 7 experience and a look at one of my favorite features. I’ve been using Windows 7 full time for about a week now and it’s really beginning to feel like home. The virtual tour software that I use in my business installed and runs like a champ, so unless Microsoft really screws up the pricing model when they release Windows 7 (i.e. make it too expensive) then I don’t see any reason why I’d have to go back to XP.

Release Windows 7!
By · CommentsI think it’s ready too Kelly!
Kelly Poe is a big fan of Windows 7. So big he started a site to campaign for the release of Windows 7, the newest operating system from Microsoft. I just voted yes!
As Kelly says though, I want Microsoft to take all the necessary time it needs to make sure it is fully baked. Just don’t put it off waiting on more Vista revenue. It ain’t gonna happen! Read More→
Windows 7 Beta Review

When Windows Vista was launched I was just starting my Middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama Virtual Tour company. I was advised to avoid Vista at that time because of the propriatery virtual tour and photo stitching software that I would be using.
Fast forward a couple of years and I still have only touched one system running Vista. I’m going to be a bit more brave with Windows 7. I downloaded the beta over the weekend and installed it on my old system. Read More→

David Weathers Charities Golf Tournament
By · Comments
We have a local celebrity in Loretto, TN. David Weathers has been a Major League Baseball player for a lot of years and for a lot of teams. If I’m not mistaken he has also played in five World Series. He currently plays for the Cincinnati Reds.
A great guy, David and his wife Kelli started David Weathers Charities in 2003 to champion causes for children in Lawrence County, TN. We’re very proud of him for that because they do a lot for the community.
David and I played baseball together back in the late eighties at Loretto High School. This year I volunteered to be the photographer at the Celebrity Golf Tournament that the charity hosts annually. The event was held at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail course in Muscle Shoals, AL. Read More→
