Bridal Party Movie!

I’ve finished my first movie using iMovie 3. It was an excruciating task, what with iMovie 3’s intrinsic slowness, and the additional slowness by my computer’s (relatively) slow processor. But it’s done! I stitched together photos of all the folks in our bridal party, using the “Ken Burns” effect, added a soundtrack (which any of our reception guests should recognize), and added some subtitles and transitions.

You can see the finished product here:

The Bridal Party

It’s in Apple QuickTime format, so make sure you have that installed before you try it. Also, the file is around 9.3 megabytes in size, so if you are on a modem-speed connection, it may take a little while to download it.

Enjoy!

Photo Guide!

I just finished writing up a new page for our site: The Photo Guide. This is a semi-narrative guide of most of the photos that are in our gallery. It can sometimes be daunting to wade through them, but hopefully this page will give you an overview of what’s in there, and perhaps lead you to find some previously-undiscovered photos. 🙂

Sunday Dinner

Usually after Church on Sunday Peter and I seek out somewhere to get dinner. We usually end up some place like Panera or On the Border where we join the throngs of other lunch seekers. Today we tried some place new.

Su-Changs is a Cantonese resturant in Peabody. Peter and his co-workers sometimes get take out there so we thought we’d try it. It was just lovely. It was a very nice “restaurant with chinese food” as opposed to a “chinese restaurant”. I had a chicken-veggie-rice noodle dish and Peter had a split dish of chicken adn veggies in a white wine sauce and shrimp in a spicy Cantonese sauce. All the food was just delicious.

We’re home now and I’ve just thrown together some beef stew ingredients into the crock pot…hopefully it will be done in time for dinner 🙂 I’m off to do some homework now. Enjoy your Sunday!

The Website’s New Groove

Yeah, that’s right! prwdot.org is gettin’ it’s groove on. We’re chock-full of great technology and brimming with good looks. We use CSS, HTML, PHP, and innumerable other acronyms. We hope that you’ll enjoy the new look and the combined content. We’ll be adding some different pages as we go along, but for now we’ve got the basic blog, the genealogy, and the gallery. Let us know if you have any comments!
