I've previously blogged about the true story behind Hanukah.  To recap: it had nothing to do with oil in the lamp.  That was made up by rabbis hundreds of years later, in a deliberate attempt to water down the true message of the holiday.

Life imitates art, awesomely.

I've been doing photography in earnest for 11 years now, but I've never really worked with video.  When Nathan was born, we bought a camcorder.  There's been a slow dribble of videos making their way to Youtube, but I haven't uploaded much from the past three years.  Part of it was lack of time and computing power, too.  But now I have a fancy new laptop (which I bought for web design) and a 160 minute commute, which I mostly use for web design, but which also leaves plenty of time (and computing power) for other things - like video processing.

This is it: my photo backlog of four years is all gone.  Every single photograph I've ever shot has been processed, and the good ones uploaded to the intertubes.  Here are the final sets.

I've been taking advantage of my commute to go through the rest of my photo backlog, and I'm almost done.  Here are the updates:
