Costa Rica, originally uploaded by GeoffMyers.net.

I just got back late last night from my 10-day vacation in Costa Rica! I took more than 1000 photos, but I’ve uploaded only 25 to Flickr. Please take a look at them and tell me what you think. I shot everything originally in RAW format (the highest quality). Because of that, I needed 2×4 GB high-speed CompactFlash cards. But it was worth it, because the color is so vivid and there’s no compression! Thanks and enjoy!

I know I’m only 17, but this will help me with future employment (I can now work at the Genius Bar if I want to). The required passing grade was 60%, and I got 93%. This certification gives me more credibility for both my current and prospective clients (I have more than 30 now). On January 2, I’m taking a second Apple exam so that I can become an Apple Certified Desktop Technician. This will allow me to physically modify Apple desktops WITHOUT voiding the Apple warranty.

  • Updated global template
  • Updated homepage
  • Updated photography page
  • Updated audio & video page (consolidated the movies & music pages)
  • Added Snap Shots (preview links before clicking them)
  • Validated CSS markup (web standards = good!)
  • Added Google Custom Search (on every page - find what you want, fast!)
  • Did some other tweaks, quick fixes, etc.

I hope the changes that were made benefit the user’s experience. That means YOU! I tested the time that it takes to load each page, and I think they all do so reasonably quickly (~2-3 seconds for me). Let me know if anything takes too long to load or if there are any errors that you experience. I love constructive criticism! Please give me feedback. :)
