Last day of school.
Today is Delsin’s last day at Gov. John Fairfield elementary school.
He is holding a gift for his teacher and has a blown out croc (shoe).
He was in a multi-age class (1st & 2nd) with the same teacher for both years he was at Fairfield. Prior to that, he was at a private Kindergarten in Portland. He has been a challenging student, but I’ve seen him mature a lot in these two years of public school.
We’ve added a routine of structured home-schooling to our day. I think it will help impress upon him that the lessons are to be learned and remembered not just processed and back to what you were doing.
We’ll see.
Health and good fortune, Delly!

Old Port Festival 2010
I dusted off the Canon 40D for today’s Old Port Festival in Portland, Maine.
Two great photo opportunities are the Shoestring Theater puppets in the parade and the renaissance fighting expositions.

When programming on iPhone or iPad, it’s common to have a UITabBarController mixed with UINavigationController.
You will probably find yourself needing to show the Root View Controller of a Navigation Controller when you switch Tabs in the Tab Controller. Read the rest of this entry »

Action Shot with a Point and Shoot
Sometimes you get lucky. Luck favors the prepared, though.
I’ve been using my Canon G9 long enough that I kind of have the timing figured out for shooting action shots. More or less.
Usually, I compose first, expecting the action. Then it’s a matter of pressing the shutter release. This is the _only_ shot I took of our friend Tanner hitting water balloons with a fat bat. If I had my druthers, I would have preferred to see his face, so maybe a moment sooner on the shutter button next time.
Interesting question: is it still a “shutter release” on digital cameras with no shutters?

Wireless Keyboard: Connection Lost
This is the most vexing problem I am having with my MacBook. Some OS update seems to have boned my bluetooth keyboard connection.
This keyboard thing has a “sort of” fix where you put a pea sized piece of aluminum foil into the battery well before putting in the batteries. This has made the problem less frequent for me, but I still see my connection coming up and going down intermittently.
What the hell kind of fix is that?
(Thanks to Mathew Cropper for the image.)

I added the WPtouch iPhone Theme plugin to NETrailhead.com. Looks pretty good.
It gives the blog an iPhone feel to the blog post listings.

Child’s-eye view of storm damage
We had a really strong wind storm in my neighborhood. The next morning we could see there were trees and branches down and shingles strewn about. My son came inside excitedly telling us about some of the things he was seeing.
So, I gave him my Canon G9 and told him to take some photographs.
