New Coaster Merchandise
Jan 24, 2005Probably not the update you were hoping for. No pics or videos right now. Why? Because I feel that I’m somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks away from putting the new design online and quite frankly, I don’t want to put the material together once for this site and do it all over again for the new site. So basically that means not much new coming until the new design is done. But once it is, I promise (and you can hold me to it) at least 2 new galleries and a cool new video will be up and ready to go. Just stick with me for a little more boring offseason and all will be well.
We’re already starting to think about places to go in 2005 and I’m mulling over the idea of picking up a new camera - mostly because I’ve officially decided digital is a good thing and it has finally surpassed film overall and because my camera choices aren’t very good at this point. The 2001 and 2002 pics were taken on film. Quality can be outstanding, but if one thing is off, it can suck. I got tired of missed shots, blown shots, then sorting, scanning and processing the pics. The 2003 and 2004 photos were taken with a small point and shoot digital camera with a build in zoom. Assuming perfect conditions, the camera performs flawlessly and the convenience is unparalleled, however, as soon as shooting conditions become less than optimal, the photo quality drops dramatically. So in addition to planning our 2005 trips, I’m checking out cameras. I mean, I know you guys expect the best from this site. Gotta keep on top of the game, right? It ain’t easy being the best. (smile)
Until then amuse yourself with some new gear. I just put up a new shirt design. More good natured innuendo that should provoke chuckles among those who get it and disgust among those who don’t. Just the thing you’ve come to expect from us (and by the way, thanks to everyone who keeps picking this stuff up) and if that’s not enough take a look at some of my RCT3 stuff. Might be good for blowing a cold winter day.
So in a nutshell, check back over the next few weeks for progress updates and eventually the new look for the site along with a crapload of new media. Thanks everyone.
