In case you haven’t heard, I’m having my first art show (and sale) this coming Friday from 6-9pm and Saturday from 10am-4pm. Patrick and his lovely wife Bethany have offered their home for an open-house sort of deal. Details can be found through my photography site: http://mytwincities.net/x=shows
Please stop by and say hello.
The days are shorter, the nights are longer. So let’s celebrate winter in style, with strawberry lemonade! Geek Gather, Tuesday 2008.11.11, 6.30 PM, Chatterbox Cafe, Saint Paul, MN
Directions are here Google Maps if anyone needs them.
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a post about anything. It’s over on my blog here:
Summer may be over, and we may be well into fall, but that doesn’t mean the strawberry lemonade stops flowing. Don’t be left out! Come join the fun!

I am looking for suggestions and feedback as to what to post and current thoughts are the following:

Windows Users,
I am running XP Pro in Parallels on my Mac for occasional uses that require it. I’ve been using Parallels “free” Kasperky subscription, which is now coming to an end. For what I use it, I don’t want to pony up $60 per year for something like that. My two questions are 1) Do I really need to run an app like that (I assume the answer is a resounding “yes”) and 2) What is a low cost/no cost alternative to Kaspersky? Please advise. Thanks!
Join us and beat the heat in these dog days of summer with a refreshing strawberry lemonade. It’s too hot for me to come up with something longer and more creative.

I’m seeking clarity and experience.
Currently, I’m paying Speakeasy to host DNS, a web site, and to provide MTA services for me. I get my mail via IMAP, so they’re providing storage of mail as well. It’s more expensive than I’d like and I don’t get enough space for my mail.
Finding a solution for web and DNS is easy. Yes, you can all send me your Dreamhost referral info now. I’ll randomly select someone. What I can’t seem to get clarity on is the whole MTA thing. Dreamhost used to provide this service (I think), but they recently recommended that customers not use them as their MTA and suggest gmail as an alternative.
I’d like to have my mail hosted somewhere that provides IMAP access and isn’t in my basement and that allows me to use my own domain name. Is anyone doing this with Dreamhost or other? Has anyone worked this out with gmail, yahoo or other?
I partook in the madness and waited in line. Four hours to be exact. The wait: boring, the buying experience: perfect. Less than 5 minutes to transfer my number from t-mobile. I skipped activation in the store as it appeared to be rocky. Did it from home later without glitches. First impression: amazing piece of hardware. Used it to write this post.
