A computer kind of day

Ah, what to do with a beautiful but very cold Sunday? I did manage an hour long walk in the afternoon, dressed in layers and layers and... The temperature just barely topped the 20 degree mark, and the wind just kept right on blowing. I didn't even consider asking one of my bikes to join me. In fact, I really had to convince myself that it was a good day to walk. I'm glad that I won that argument; as always it was good to be out in the sunshine.

The rest of the day was definitely a computer kind of day. I have been planning to update the article I published (several years ago) about choosing a digital camera for touring. Ever since I jumped off that cliff in January (figuratively, that is) and bought myself a digital SLR along with 2 lenses, I knew that it would be a good thing to share that decision with some of my fellow touring cyclists. After all, I'm sure that I'm not the only person who was considering adding another camera to my touring gear... I spent a good part of today at my computer, thinking, writing. Even though I know how long it takes to write, it still surprised me that I needed to spend so many hours creating, writing, sharing thoughts.

I think the end result is good, although I have no real idea if my reasoning and decision will really help anyone else. No matter, the article is updated; it will be interesting to see if I get any reactions. And reviewing the article, it occurs to me that even though I wrote it with the thoughts of a touring cyclist, it really applies to anyone who is considering jumping into the world of digital photography.
