Outsourcing

I've wrestled with an easier way to update the News section since we started this site in 2003. I abandoned this third-party blog after a few months back in 2005, as we were still posting a lot of photos in the News section. We're still using old software to update the site for the moment, so it's been pretty difficult changing the pages on a regular basis. We're switching back to a third-party blog service, as we need to update our site faster and from any location. Just as with the photo section (outsourced to a fantastic service called SmugMug), we're going to start using more dedicated services to run different parts of the site. In 2005, blog software was still in its infancy, but it seems to have caught up with our needs, so we have no more reservations. Hopefully, we can find a decent place for the mp3 mixes we host as well. In the meantime, here's another change and a new look we hope you'll appreciate.

As for news, we had our first "lazy" weekend since April. Friday, we went to see a great little documentary (Food, Inc.) at our favorite and cheapest cinema in Pasadena (the Regency). On Saturday we visited Jonna and Le to see beautiful Baby Addison in Orange County, and on Sunday we relaxed around the house, staying cool because outside it was hovering around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer's here, at long last.
