The Digital Dad

Now this is awesome. Eye-Fi. It’s a 2GB SD card for your digital camera with built-in 802.11g wi-fi. It will automatically upload your pics to any one of dozens of supported services. Flickr, Smugmug, Wal-Mart. You name it, this things supports it. Best part is, it’s all automatic. You never have to take the card out of the camera. Zip. Zoom. Gone. Plus, it even works in a CF adapter for those of us whose DSLR’s are livin’ in the stone age. At $100, you just can’t beat it. I mean, I’ve still got Christmas pics on our 1GB CF. With the Eye-Fi, they’d be online AS I WAS SHOOTING THEM! Definitely going on my want list.

Ooh, I just thought of another great use. Family members who just can’t get the hang of online photo galleries. Shooting, copying, resizing, uploading. With the Eye-Fi, you could preconfig it for their home wi-fi network, pop it in their point-and-shoot and Boom! Internet magic. Wicked! You know, my father-in-law’s birthday is coming up.

Liam and I had some fun playing in the snow today. He sure loved having Daddy pull him around the neighborhood yards all afternoon. And he got to make his first ever snowman, albeit a teency weency one. The pics are on the photo site. And I finally got around to uploading last Christmas and his birthday. Enjoy.

Off into the sunset… If that’s not just a picture of the perfect Sunday drive, I don’t know what is. We took Liam to the park yesterday, where he met up with peeps Carter and Jackson for a drive in their pimped out Escalade. Sorry for the photo quality, I took these with my cell phone.The whole series is here.

This past Sunday I made an executive decision to enact the Perry Family Forgotten Fun Treatise, or PFFFT! We hadn’t had a fun family outing just the three of us in a long while. So Mommy and Daddy sat down and weighed our choice of destinations. We narrowed it down to the Eddyville Waterpark or Nashville Zoo. Realizing that I still haven’t fixed the car’s A/C drain, we opted for the nearer destination of Venture River Waterpark in Eddyville, KY, and saved the Nashville Zoo for next time.

4 hours later (Hey, it’s no easy task getting the three of us from pajamas and puffy eyes to packed and out the door.), we arrived at the waterpark ready to tear it up! It was Liam’s first time, although he had been to the city pool many times last year, and he absolutely LOVED it! We were a bit worried, at first, that he might not enjoy the slides and we’d spend most of the day in the wave pool or the lazy river. Mind you, that wouldn’t have been bad at all, as Mommy and Daddy thoroughly enjoyed simply relaxing in the sun. As we approached the top of his first-ever water slide, we almost turned back, as he was obviously a bit nervous about it all. But once we hit the bottom, Liam tore up and out of the catch pool and ran headlong, without waiting for Mommy or Daddy, right back to the top of the hill, ready to go again! Daddy’s little waterbug.

So here are a few of the pics we took while there. The rest are on our SmugMug album here, and you can always check out all our pics by visiting perryfamily.smugmug.com, or the Photos button at the top of the page. Enjoy!

Next time we’ll have shots from Liam’s first trip to the zoo. I just hope he doesn’t get confused for a monkey!

Okay, so it’s obvious I’m no good with the whole “showin’ off our pictures” deal. So I let Missy take over. And now not only are they all available at one place, but it’s even better than ever. Check out the Perry Family pictures at perryfamily.smugmug.com!
