Time Capsule: Ryan’s birth

19990403_hand.jpg

When my son, Ryan, was born 3 months early back in 1999 I “blogged” the near daily updates. I kept the site live, frozen in time, on my various web servers over the years until recently, when I got the wild hair to update it to the 2007 blogging world.

Old school meets new school.

Back then I shot some photos with my employer’s 1.2 megapixel Kodak DC120 camera. I wrote a quick and dirty “gallery” page, but that’s not 2007. A few days ago I uploaded them all to Flickr.

I also shot some video and posted it in the then state-of-the-art Real Media format. Well no one uses Real today if they can avoid it. Converting that format to something more mainstream was a huge pain but I finally prevailed and got the small video snippets I shot way-back-then uploaded to the way-now YouTube.

And finally, I moved all the daily posts into my WordPress blog, back dated them and here we are.
