Sometimes, my blog postings are motivated by the pure desire to have the entry acts as a sort of backup brain.

Today is such a day.

Since I'll be taking off to California next week for a while, I need to get my to-do-list straight. If the provided links are useful to the alert reader, then even better. So here we go:

1. Get another CF card for my Canon 10D.
When I bought the camera last year, it came with a 1 GB Extreme SanDisk memory card. Going on vacation (or worse - a shoot) with just one card though is just flat-out stupid. And B&H (as well as pretty much everybody else) is notoriously out of stock on the 512MB as well as the 1GB cards, soooo .... I scoured the net for more information on other cards that are currently in stock. The short of it is that nothing beats the Extreme and the Ultra cards from SanDisk in performance - the long of it can be found here. So I might have to bite the bullet and buy from a higher-priced retailer - although I really hate the thought of it. If anybody out there has any good resources though, by all means, forward them!

2. Buy yourself some all-leather, 8-inch high boots for going to the fire lines this summer
This is pretty much the only thing the good people from the Forest Service didn't provide us with - and absolutely require of the media folks that want to go to the fire lines this summer. Sierratradingpost.com looks promising, but since I really don't mind how *cute* the shoe is (it can be used and yellow for all I care) I should probably also give eBay a shot...

3. Make a vet appointment to have my kittens get their booster vaccines

4. Properly set up my new e-commerce site at Photoreflect.
I've been having trouble with the setup software, asking me to put in a tax percentage and not accepting the 0.00% for Oregon. Sigh...

5. Get my client's website up and running, make a bunch of 13 x 19 prints and get them matted and framed.
