Photography
Adobe Lightroom
Nikon-buddy Jeff Whatcott gave me a quick demonstration of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when I was in Boston last week. Lightroom was clearly a winner application, so I was pleasantly surprised when Jeff hooked me up with a copy of Lightroom before I returned to Belgium on Friday evening. Although Jeff works for Acquia now, he continues to evangelize Adobe's products. ;-)
I spent a couple hours dabbling with Lightroom this morning, and I'm already in love with it. It is a lot easier than Photoshop CS which I've been struggling to master for years. Lightroom's sidebar widgets and workflow are simple yet powerful, and the non-destructive image editing and the smart saving please the engineer in me. Thanks Jeff!

Second wedding anniversary
Just married
Stefaan and Anneleen, some of our best friends, got married yesterday.
I went straight from the Drupal festivities at the MIT in Boston to their wedding in Belgium. My flight from Boston to New York (JFK) got canceled, so I had to fly to New Jersey (La Guardia) instead and race through New York in a yellow cab. Due to traffic, I missed my connecting flight that would take me from New York to Brussels (BRU) so I had to make an extra stop in London (LHR) and take in a 6 hour delay before making it to Brussels. I missed most of their day but still made it to the evening party.
It took a lot of pain to make this picture but I'm happy it came out great. More pictures are available in the wedding album. Needless to say, today was a slow day. ;-)
Yes, of course my luggage got lost in all the action ...
