to do:

I've been trying to make sense of my "to-do" list...

* 680 pictures to share - at the moment I really, really, really wish I had tiger... just so I could use automator to resize the massive amount of bike-trip pic's to fit in the site's main post-width...

Anyone reading this who happens to have automator and the irresistible urge to do a total stranger a huge favor - I would be incredibly appreciative for saving me the eight hours in photoshop of resizing the photos one by one.

* clean out the 280 GBs of external hard-drive space - I've been going through my old 'synergy' archives one by one and moving/ burning them to dvd... making room for the hours of bike-trip footage and render files...

* 10+ hours of raw footage to sift through - obviously not every minute of footage from the trip is usable... and it would save me a ton of hard-drive space to not import each tape start to finish - so I'm in the process of setting up an easy and relaxing way to go through all 10+ hours.

Chances are I'll need to buy an apple video adapter and output the GL2 to a tv monitor... or else I'll go crazy [and blind] from watching hours & hours of tape on a tiny 2.5 in LCD flip screen.

* update the project pedal "get involved" letter & dvd - after working my way through the footage and the photos... I'll need to tweak the project pedal fundraising letter and get everything to send out to everyone and anyone I know - hell, maybe even a few random people out of the phone book...

* set-up a "pacific coast trip" contents post - I'd like to get around to organizing all the post written during the trip, all the photos [possibly in a quicktime slideshow file], and some edited footage into a "table of contents" post... just so people don't have to a lot of digging around the archives trying to catch up on project pedal history.

"have-done" list... I've added a few new perks to the site since I've been back. Some of you might have already noticed that each time you visit the site [or navigate to different sub-pages] that the "header-menu" randomly changes...

What used to just be a link to the 'forum' [now disabled] & the 'donation/learn-more' page - now offers links to: "several easy ways you can help", "project pedal flyers", "spread the word", "indie-film resources", and more...
