Converting family movies

My parents had a bunch of old Super 8mm film reels that they shot over 30 years ago. I decided that they needed to be converted to a better format for both viewing and archiving. I sent them away to Home Movie Depot (www.homemoviedepot.com) and they did an outstanding job. They converted the film to both miniDV and to DVD and much quicker than anyone else was quoting. I reviewed the DVD over the weekend and was very happy with the results. I can't believe I was ever that little! Film is so much better than photo's because of the ability to watch facial expressions and responses to stimuli.

We have a doctor's appointment with a fertility specialst in 2 weeks. I'm not sure what is accomplished in this first appointment. We need to find out what tests are required of Oksana and the known donor. I am much more okay with going with the known donor now. It took awhile for me to process everything and to do some research. Now, I feel it is the best way to go - at least with this particular known donor.

Oksana made me a small avatar (photo) to put on my profile. I don't think it's a very good picture, but she does and I don't actually have anything better right now. The picture is at the bottom of the post.

Today is one of those days I'm not motivated to do anything I should. That is one drawback with officing from home. If you aren't in the mood to work, it's harder to force yourself to. If you are in a typical office, there aren't that many other things you can do, but at home there's always some chore that should be done. Well, I must close this entry and go force myself to work on a software licensing agreement for a new software development project we are starting.
