The Sunday Post VII

So, at the end of June I’m going to be in Europe for a week and we just made a couple of changes to our itinerary.

The original plan was to travel through London and maybe get a tour of the MINI Plant before heading over to Amsterdam. That is still the plan and it looks like MINI is going to really take care of us for it. That means we’ll be soundseeing the plant in Oxford prior to MINI United, as well as some other things I’m sure. We might even get a press car for the day too!

We will be in Amsterdam 1 day early to get setup. We’ll have a tent, a fast internet connection and places to sit for us and anyone else that wants to stop by. Todd thinks we should have a full bar too, but I’mnot sure we’ll get that.

To recap where we will be posting (it has changed a bit).

• Audio and video will be on WRR and MF
• Still waiting for this, but there will be blog posts at the MINI United site.
• With my newest gadget, I will be posting pictures to the Flickr. Oh yea, I’ll be sharing those on the MINI United Flickr Group as well.
• Y’all know I’ll be posting a nugget or two here too.

Personal Wiki time

Things I still need to get.

• Power plug adapters x3 (laptop, camera charger, mixer)
• Need a way to communicate, since I won’t have a phone and I won’t buy an unlocked phone with a prepaid SIM. Maybe a Skype phone?
• A new backpack. Target has a keen Eddie Bauer laptop backpack that I’ve been eyeing
• A pouch/bag for the camera.
• Extra battery for the camera (maybe)
• Airplane power adapter if I fly perferred economy on VA or BA
• Airplane ticket

Misc Stuff

I recently realized that I’ve been making good use of the WordPress more tag. I also remembered that I complained about that not too long ago. My apologies. I will stop. I only did it because my posts tend to get fairly long sometimes and they hog the page. Trust me, it’s not any wacky SEO tricks (do you see any ads?) or a lame attempt to get you back here to comment (since I’m pretty sure you’ll do that anyway).

Fixed the Google reader problem, for those of you that use it. It was the search highlight plug-in. Probably too old for this version of WP.

And, today, I will end with a few pictures that I have taken this week.

a zoom test. This was taken at full zoom from 25 feet away.

taken on Ortega Hwy when I was waiting to pass through the construction zone. I’m pleased with how it turned out.
