Last entry of the year
I dug through the 2005 entries posted here on Ivory Tower and came up with these highlights from the archives.
Discovered the iPhoto plugin called Photon, which allows you to send images right into a new entry in Movable Type. Pretty neat little piece of code that I used on the old photolog site located here. I need to recreate the photolog sometime soon (Note to self: review the instructions/tutorial at moonpost.com).
Macworld brought the iPod Shuffle (I own one, very nice) and the Mac Mini (I do not own one, although it'd be more desireable if it was faster, had a bigger disk, and had a Superdrive at a lower cost). Yeah, I know, too much to ask.
Saw Los Lobos at Symphony Center in March and at the new Charter One lakefront pavillion or whatever it is called at the end of August. Both shows were quite excellent and really showed the range that the band has. Saw Kraftwerk at the Riviera in June. Another excellent show.
I posted a little list of my top favorite music videos in May. So did Adam.
Did the MS150 bike ride (150 miles in two days) in June. Ran a half marathon in September. Guess I was pretty active in 2005.
Watched most of Lance's last Tour in July. Not as exciting overall as the previous couple of years, but there were some pretty good days in there.
Finally got a new iBook in August.
Ivory Tower went dormant in much of August and December as my Movable Type installation toasted itself for some strange reason. Note to others: back up and use MYSQL.
This year would have been my 20-year high school reunion, but nothing came to fruition. Still a top result at Google and MSN for that phrase and variations.
For 2006, things I need to add to the site: return of the photolog, return of the Amazon wishlist link, return of the What I'm Reading section, and the Contact Me link.
Happy New Year!
