I’ve ended the Hackintosh experiment on the laptop. While it was cool to play around with, I unfortunately found that the USB ports did not work at all, which is something I use regularly when I’m using the laptop. So I decided since I was in the experimenting mood to load Windows 7 x64 on it and mess around. I can’t really see too much of a difference between Vista and Windows 7, as I had upgraded the RAM after replacing Vista with OS X. It seems to run pretty OK so far, but time will tell what I think of it.

The new Nikon D60 camera came yesterday, and I got a bit of a chance to mess around with it. It’s easy to use, setting it up the first time wasn’t difficult, and the shots it takes are awesome. I should be getting out sometime this weekend to start taking pictures of things. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

I’ve decided to pursue digital photography as a hobby for myself. In doing so, I’ve gone ahead and ordered a Nikon D60 camera, which from what I’ve read and heard should be a decent camera for a newbie like myself. I’m going to set up a new photo gallery, as Zenphoto while simple just didn’t work out the way I would have liked to, so I’ll be ending up going back to Gallery. Ah, good ole Gallery.

So, what am I going to take pictures of? Well, I’m thinking about older buildings / architecture, nature, vehicles, people (and I actually have one willing vict…err subject already), and other things. Basically, I’ll be taking pictures of a whole lot of things and going from there. It’s going to be a learning experience, but I’m excited about getting started. The camera should be here Wednesday, and once I read up on the features, I’m hoping to get a chance to get out this weekend and start shooting.
