rain...

it is raining and I am NOT prepared to shoot in this condition...have to think...think I will put so time into my journal, organize it better.  Do my reading, I am current but staying ahead of the curve is always good. 

Look over the photos I have taken just to see what I might have to re-shoot.

sipped my optical drive back on an RMA today.  bummer, it would not work consistently since two weeks ago.  and it would not lightscribe at all! 

What is Lightscribe you ask?  here is a cut and paste from their web site: http://www.lightscribe.com/gettingstarted/index.aspx?id=95

WHAT LIGHTSCRIBE IS

 

A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LABEL YOUR DISCS

LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs.
Because the labels are laser-etched—not printed—there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.
Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork using your label-making software. Or choose from the many free backgrounds the software provides. You may also visit LightScribe's Design Center for free downloadable designs.
Once you create your design, be sure to follow these three steps:

• Burn your data (music, photos, video, etc.) in the LightScribe drive.

• When your data burning is complete, open the drive and flip the disc over.

• Burn your LightScribe label. Remember, the same drive that burns your data burns your label, too.

I have ben using it for about three years now, started with a WIN based PC and recently after I moved into full MAC, I got Lightscribe capable optical drives to continue this method for creating media for clients, friends and myself.
