… what have I been up to with all this no-updating?

Well, bringing spoon.org back up to speed, for one. I think that things are pretty good in that regard. I’ve got the new gallery back up and running and populated with all of 2008′s photos. Have a look there for entries like the Halifax Pride Festival and Slalom at Slemon 2008.

Other things keeping me busy… I’ve been asked again to be the official photographer for Targa Newfoundland 2008 and this time I’m taking them up on the offer. As such I’ve been busily preparing things for that role. I had some business cards made up and arranged things like backup camera bodies and some upgraded lenses for the event. I’m sure no matter what I bring I’ll wish I had more but it will definitely be an interesting chanllenge. You can find more information as its available on my Targa Photos Page, complete with an online order form for photo packages.

This past weekend was the annual stop at AMP of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship and we figured it was time we took in the show. A couple of long days on various corners and it was a good show indeed. No serious incidents and some great national-calibre racing! Did I mention it was long days?

Slalom at Slemon was enjoyable, more or less. Terrible weather Saturday meant many, many off courses for competitors and a lot of folks’ enjoyment suffered as a result. Thankfully Sunday was dryer and folks were a bit more content. I’m pretty happy with how the Miata handled though I’ve been playing too much with the rear sway bar. I still can’t decide if I like it better soft, stiff or not hooked up at all. Currently the car is setup with the latter which is the preferred configuratin for wet handling. The chances are pretty low that I’ll make it out to another slalom this season though so I should probably just hook it up again.
