First, I read with a little surprise that Kodachrome has faded to black. There will be no more Kodachrome processing in the US. See: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124631829284470853.html

We are back from the humidity hell that was Mississippi. Colin scented for Annette about 3 times a day and was spot on. The most convincing alert was at the hotel when he alert her and we both thought that she was ok. Annette tested and it turned out that she was having a low. Good work, Colin!

I will be putting together a little video of his exploits in the coming days.

Colin provided an alert for Annette today after about 30 minutes of training. Go Colin Go. Here’s a video of a kid in our class who has an alert dog:

I’m in Mephis, Tenn. I’ve been to the Lorraine Motel and Graceland. Two ends of the spectrum. It is so frigging hot and humid here that Annette has melted. Colin is fine so far.

This weekend, Oxford, Mississippi will be the destination for scent dog training for Colin.

Woo-hoo! The Penguins beat the Red Wings and end up spending the summer with Lord Stanley. Fleury, aka Flower, blocked a shot in the last few seconds to secure the win.

Awesome game to end the season on.

Now, how many days until September 26th?

So, the hockey season has come down to one game, 60 minutes, maybe more, of hockey. Go Pens Go!

Here’s to Crosby winning his first Stanley Cup!

Yeah, the Penguins are coming back.  Youth seems to be overtaking experience.

It is finally Stanley Cup.  My Kings didn’t make it but at least he Penguins, my second favorite team, made it.  Unfortunately, they lost tonight and only have until tomorrow at 5p PDT to regroup.   Hopefully, they can steal tomorrows game and go back to Pittsburgh tied 1-1.

Long time, no posts.  So tonight I will probably post twice.

First, lets talk about iPhone programming.  There is a revolution going on right now on your phone.  Blackberries, iPhone, and Nokia phones are all offering stores that have applications that run on the phone and perform some particular task for the phone user.   I’ve worked with the Eclipse/Blackberry environment and I was less than impressed.   The packages available for the phone seemed to be basic packages and all the repeative tasks, such as event controlling, was left to the programmer to complete.

Apple through its iPhone library seems to have a much better interface for writing applications quickly.   Right now, I’m audit Stanford CSEE 193P class to learn how to program the iPhone.  I’m impressed.  The framework has taken care of most of the difficult tasks and leaves the programmer to programing the business logic for the application.   Sweet.

Anyway, exciting stuff with more later.

The have been intersting so far.  Sharks gone.   All series tied at 2-2 in the second round except Boston and Carolina with Carolina ahead 3-1.  The Redwings looked good last night.  Let’s hope the can eliminate the Ducks.

President trophy winner yet still choking in the playoffs.  Down 3-2 to the Ducks.  Of course, it is a great story if they win it all.
