Mondays are some good TV on sci-fi. You get a few hours of ST:TNG and then some anime. I’m liking it… a lot.

This weekend I signed up with a new webhost – Tektonic. It’s a VPS, so there’s a lot more for me to manage on my own, but it’s a lot more fun and offers me a lot more freedom. I’m this close from cutting off my former web host. I just have a little issue with mail that I need to sort out before doing so. Once I get that squared away, I’ll be ready to turn it off and disable the account.

We went to the Franklin Park Zoo yesterday. I both like and dislike zoos on a few different levels. I mainly went to check out the butterfly exhibit that they have – basically a huge greenhouse that has a bunch of free-flying butterflies. It opened a week ago and I wanted to see what sort of photo ops there are. They’re pretty good – and I intend on intend on going back at least a few more times this season – it’s great to have what amounts to a captive audience for photo subjects. Now all I have to do is go through the photos and process them.

I’m flying out to LA on Friday morning – early. Should be fun – I’m excited! Not too excited about the 6hr trips, but at least I have non-stop flights from BOS to LAX and back.

We st up a dive trip to the Isle of Shoals at the end of August. The gist is that we boat around find the harbor seals in the area and then drop in the water somewhere near them. Then we just hope their natural curiosity brings them over… chances are good and we’re excited.

That’s the long and short of the past few days and beyond.
