Took over 500 photos, edited 146 and will probably print a couple dozen.

Remembering 9-11
"EMS and fire crews in Highlands help those returning to NJ from the horrors of the Twin Towers falling. Dust covered everyone getting off the ship and the crews helped clean them up as best they could. My father ran the cleanup in Atlantic Highlands, I tried to help but there was nothing to do for me but to wait for a call to action that never came."
---
This is one of the 4 photos I shot on 9-11-2001. The world was a blur that day and I did not have the presence of mind to document it better. I went to Highlands to see if I could help with the people coming in off the boats, I was not able to help so I went and just sat in Navesink Firehouse waiting for a call to help somewhere, anywhere but there was nothing for us to do but sit, and wait, and watch the dreadful replays on TV over and over.
Today it seems like a distant memory, a bad dream and yet still so important to the state of the world and important to never forget. NJ lost so many people in the attack, Middletown in particular lost more than its share due to many people commuting in to the city from here.
Somehow I was 'lucky' to only know one person who died personally. Kenneth Tietjen was a classmate who died serving in the Port Authority. Ken and I werent close but I always thought he was a cool guy, a smartass with an easy smile and a devious mind. I was surprised to hear that he had gone into law enforcement but I bet he didn't stop the wisecracks there either.
As time moves on I worry that we forget the lessons of that day along with the memories of the people who died. I'm not a political person but I do give a lot of thought to how we treat the world and how the worlds sees us, and I don't think we have done well on that score. I also think the security precautions we have put in place are silly props designed to stop the last attack and not think about the next one. That, tho, I guess is an essay for another day.

BAD move Apple!
From Terry White's Tech Blog:
<Today I decided to add some new pictures to my iPhone so I sycn'd it with iTunes. Then I noticed the display in iTunes saying "removing Netshare app". For a moment I just thought that "maybe it was replacing it with a new version or update." Nope, it's gone! Now this is kinda scary on a "big brother" level. Apple seems to have built-in the ability to remove apps from your iPhone without your consent (maybe you actually give consent in the iTunes license agreement that you accept, but um I haven't read that thing - have you?). >
Um, NO Apple, BAD. This is not groovy. REGARDLESS of the legality of Netshare or not, Apple CANNOT be allowed to retroactively remove applications we have legally (or not) installed and take them off our computers without our express permission. I smell lawsuit.

NASA is using Microsoft's Multitouch Surface Tech?
NASA had a trailer at the Highlands Clam Festival (You can't make shit like that up!) and I wanted to bail on going in but Ma'am and Pappy wanted to check it out. Was pretty hokie (tho the air conditioning was amazing!) but the one cool thing other than the AC was their use of Microsoft's Surface Tablet to do their demo. Except it didnt say Surface on it that I could see. And it was just as wonky and sucky to use as the Surface at Ice Bar in Vegas. Don't count on Microsoft selling a ton of these things, stick to your iPhone.
