Of course, as soon as I switch hosts, they fall apart. Email issues, slow servers, bad tech support.

So after less than 2 months I switched to yet another host. What a pain in the rear end! I am now with Site5 and so far they have been amazing. My last tech support email was answered, by a real person, with the issue fixed, within 4 minutes.

If I have any major issues with them I will let you know. but so far I cant recommend them enough.

Also, I am now in a position I can offer web hosting for small websites. If you have something simple you want the world to know, or a blog, or a community discussion site my prices start at $5/mo or an insane $50/year (10mb storage, 500mb/mo Bandwidth, 10 email addresses, mySQL, etc.) email me for information.

I don't know why. Maybe it's midlife, maybe it's that I have the most adorable, amazing, cute son that god has ever put on this planet. But lately I have been jonesing for a camera. Not a point and shoot and here is a picture of the cat doing something cute (esp my cat who does absolutely nothing cute, but tried to bite Cheryl the other day because she was tickling Aiden so much he was screeching) but an honest to god Camera.

My first thought, being the geek that I am was "A Digital SLR" like the Canon EOS Digital Rebel (300D). But whoa! those are pricey (just came down to $700). and not as full featured as a regular 35mm film camera at 1/2 to 1/3 of the price.

Since I am a closet luddite I started thinking about film and taking a look at some consumer end 33mm SLRs like the Canon EOS Rebel T2/K2/GII.

Am I out of my mind for going "back" to film? Am I really a Luddite or just insane?
