New website launched tech.MichaelErb.net

I’ve recently launched a new website, http://tech.michaelerb.net which focuses on my web design and computer consulting business. It has always been a strong desire for me to get the “Tech” side of me online and this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for. It’s got a long way to go to be complete but every site has to start somewhere and this is where it starts for me. Let me know what you think.

Jason & Nina – June 13, 2009

One of my favorite wedding venues in Ithaca is La Tourelle Resort and Spa. Over the last several years La Tourelle has added several ponds, gazebos and greatly improved the already magnificent grounds.

I’ve had the pleasure of DJ’ing here many times over the years and it has never looked better than it does right now.

The main dining room has also undergone a complete redecoration and is just a wonderful space. It was at this beautiful location that Jason and Nina had their intimate wedding reception.

The wedding cake was from the Ithaca Bakery.

Jason and Nina had their first dance to a song by Journey-”Faithfully”.

Nina and her Father danced to “I Wish You Love” by Dean Martin while Jason and his Mother danced to a very nice song by Molly Pastutti – “The Man You’ve Become”. It was a song I had not heard before and Mother’s take note, it’s a beautiful song that will pull your heartstrings!

A great evening of dancing followed the meal and the cake cutting.

Thanks to Jason, Nina and family for welcoming me to their special celebration.

Enjoy the photos!

IPod Touch

I just got an iPod Touch and am amazed at how capable the tiny gadget is. I am actually at Panera having a cup of coffee as I write and post this to my blog. Simply amazing .

The weather this summer.

You know, I think it has rained every day in July and so far in August. I’m not 100% sure of that but it does seem like it has rained every single day for the last 5 weeks. It’s raining right now as I write this in fact. It rained yesterday, and the day before that. I’m not really complaining about the rain…it’s made the garden grow like crazy (and the weeds), and I’ve been doing double duty on the lawn mowing which is cool because it’s great exercise. But it just gets to a point where “enough is enough”. Enough already. Stop raining.

I think WSYR TV in Syracuse has the best news and weather of any station in the area. As I was checking out their “Live Doppler Radar” I discovered that you can embed it in your web page quite simply. So I thought I’d do that  right here so you and I can see the rain that I’ve been talking about.

Beautiful early Spring

The weather has been just amazing the past week. We’re having an early Spring and it’s been pretty much perfect. Temps have been in the 70’s and one day reached mid 80’s. Trees are blossoming and flowers are blooming. It’s been great bike riding weather too. I’ve managed to get 6 bike rides under my belt in the last 10 days. Here’s my route for today… a really beautiful, scenic ride through Skaneateles and Marcellus.

And here’s a few more spring photos…
