A recent CNET article on search engines triggered a trip down memory lane. In the late 90's it was the wild west when it came to search engines. They were everywhere, with new ones popping up left and right. None of them dominated like Google today. And that's what...

It's been a busy week for Loreto Bay. First we received updates on our Nueva Chica progress in Agua Viva (AV025). Then we received an email from Michael Coyle which contained an informative update on Loreto Bay. Now just as the weekend begins we've received the first official "Property...

Artist's rendering of the proposed Bell Tower, a new icon representing the heritage and culture of Loreto, Mexico. Tonight while enjoying the awe-shucks demeanor of James Stewart fighting his fear of heights and apparently chasing multiple women in Hitchcock's classic Vertigo (in HD no less), we received a Loreto Bay...

Over lunch today I learned about the death of Randy Pausch (Carnegie Mellon page) and his last lecture. Curious, I was able to read some of the headlines and view part of his now famous presentation from Carnegie Mellon September 18, 2007. Having learned just weeks before that he had...

I feel slightly obligated to atone for my apparent wayward ways when it comes to car idling as pointed out by Loni so diplomatically in yesterday's post. So while thinking of small green things that can make a big environmental difference (insert image here of Clint with reading glasses...

The Loreto Bay golf course showcases panoramic vistas. And I thought keeping the grass in the frontyard green was tough! Imagine the challenge of seeding, nuturing, greening and then maintaining a championship level 18 hole course. Now put that course in the middle of a desert and you're difficulty level just...

A quick follow-up to Loni's kayaking post. I've been working with Adobe Premiere Elements software to put together a (very) basic segment. Loni: aren't you supposed to look at the camera when hosting? It was so hot in Loreto that the sun was not only in the sky, but also "in...

Sony PlayStation Store PS3 Video Download Service Available: Now Requirements: Sony PlayStation3 (PS3) with Internet connection Pricing: TV Shows, purchase $1.99+ Movies, rental $2.99-5.99 Movies, purchase $9.99-14.99 Although I'm probably not the target audience, I gave the new PSN video download service a spin tonight. It probably helped that Loni was traveling to present at a...

I suspected video download services would continue to be a big theme in 2008, but I'm not convinced we're close to mainstream adoption just yet (bandwidth is still too slow in this part of the world). However, I do think today's announcements by Sony and Microsoft will heat up...

Every day it seems like a new Loreto or Loreto Bay web site or blog pops up. Loni and I read them with great interest and are pleased to see so many people writing about the area. Some track construction, others the experience of life in Loreto, while others...
