2006-10-08Moved to Austin. Yeah! I love this place.
2005-05-04Moved TomPio to new hoster. On April 27 I took down TomPio.com at Olm.net and brought it up on Godaddy.com. I should make some comments later about pluses and minuses of the move. Godaddy is cheaper.
I want to redo the photos area and the overall layout of this site. It's looking very dated.

2000-12-26Ice
Storm We are experiencing an rain/freezing rain which
has coated the trees with ice. Some of the branches broke
early this morning, and our power was up and down about six
times between 3AM and 6AM. More nastiness on the way later
today. I took some shots of our ice
storm damage.

Nanotechnology For the last several months I have been
studying nanotechnology. I'll be adding pertinent material
to an entire new section on nanotech.
2000-12-13 The
Election The never-ending election is ended. Yea! I
hope Bush pays attention to national defense, especially ballistic
missile defense, terrorist threats and cyber-warfare.

Gallery I added a group of pages for Nancy's art &
craft gallery.
Believe it or not but I took over 250MB of digital pictures
of Nancy's work with my Nikon CoolPix 990 experimenting with
different shooting techniques. The problem is that I don't
have any professional lighting equipment. Wolf Camera sells
a StarLite Kit for $279 + tax and that is a bit much to pay
for my infrequent needs.
