Well, I haven't had time to do it yet, apologies.

I would like to wish all my readers a Happy 2007. May all your wishes come true and may you achieve all your personal goals. Since I am a bit late, let me take this opportunity to remind all of you to stick to your new years resolutions (fortunately I forgot, so I don't have any).

This time, I did not spend all of Christmas and New Years travelling, but we did get to go to Santa Barbara and La Jolla. During the evenings I was programming some and Dani was studying. I got to squeze off a couple of decent photos (I sense some new Wallpaper Galleries coming):

Here is my personal scoop on 2006:

Even though 2006 was a great year for me personally (this site is growing traffic every day at a rapid pace), I don't feel so confident about the world as a whole. However there were a bunch of highlights too:

Rumsfeld left: probably one of the best things that happened last year ;-)
World Soccer Championship in Germany: defenitely one of the best things that happened
High Gas Prices: Actually a good thing, since the Oil crisis finally got noticed by the broad masses. Its about time to change our habbits now and work on alternatives. I think we are going to see a lot more of this in the future.
Bye Bye Berlusconi: I never liked that guy

Somehow I get the feeling the lowlights outweigh the highlights, but I am keeping them shorter (keeping a positive attitude):

War in Lebanon, Coup in Thailand, Genocide in Darfur, Record Deaths in Iraq, School Massacres: Record Killings this Year
Danish Cartoon Crisis: I guess we need to learn much more about each other if we want to get along better
North Korea allegedly tests Nuke: Some say it was fake?

Some of the Winners of 2006:

Democrats tip the Balance in Congress: Did someone wake up from hibernation?
Socialist Governments in South America: Bolivia and Venezuela
Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen): What can I say, I didn't watch it but he surely made waves
Youtube Founders: for taking an idea that is poised to be a money pit, violating copyrights and getting their users to upload tons of content to sell their network to Google for Billions. Nicely done!
Bruno the Bear: Not a person and in the end he was shot, but he mocked Police and special forces for a long time. Kudos to Bruno!
Warren Buffet and Bill Gates: Wow. Two guys that donate about $60 Billion together for good causes

And some Loosers:

Kramer and Cruise for making complete a55e5 off themselves.
Berlusconi and Aznar: Prime Ministers of Italy and Spain

My Plans for the next couple of months:

Not to bore you with personal views ;-). No really, I am having some nice things lined up (in my head that is) to keep this site interesting for you. I will start reviewing more of the gadgets that make the life of the photographer and tech geek more fun.

I also have some nice photoshop tutorials planned that I am going to start writing really soon. The next two will be about how to retouche blooming artefacts and a tutorial on HDR images. Naturally I am always willing to listen to suggestions, so if you really want to know something ask for it.

I've got a lot of photos that need to be uploaded and put into galleries. I also want to create more free wallpapers (people seem to love them). I will probably move ahead with technology and offer some 1600x1080 and some more high resolution widescreen formats. People seem to have a hard time finding them online and have asked for it.
