Weekly Tech Update and More

This evening (Sunday, September 13) marks episode #8 of Weekly Tech Update and tonight we will be having Daniel Guenter on the show.  He is a computer programmer, runs a cool programming blog – slagd.com and is actually my web host.  Tonight we will be talking about Microsoft’s Open Source Initiative, PS3 Sales and 24 Million Pixel Gaming.  It should be a good show that will appear in iTunes and Zune Marketplace on Tuesday – or you can listen in live at 9:00pm MST tonight on Ustream.tv

Part of my job description and life vocation is a Youth Leader/Pastor at a church here in Vulcan, Alberta.  Recently to kick off the fall season of our Youth Group, we took a trip to Calaway Park in Calgary, AB and then more recently we headed down south to the Corn Maze.  If interested in some fun pictures you can head on over to the VulcanYouth.com Gallery.

On the way home last night I stopped at the top of a hill overlooking the “Flat” and took a picture.  It was almost full-dark with just a wee bit of light on the horizon, but the lights from farms and small towns around the country looked quite pretty.  The picture above was taken with a 50mm f1.8 Nikon lens – not even close to the idea lens for this shot, but it was on the camera, so I took it anyway.  Our rugged rocky mountains are in the distance.
