In Costa Rica...

We've been here in Costa Rica for a week now - still have one to go. We've ended up on the Caribbean coast in a town called Puerto Viejo. Just got back from an amazing canopy tour with about 15 ziplines all through the jungle with three local guides. I think we're going to head back across the country to the Pacific side tomorrow afternoon (should take about 8 hours on the local bus system, which has treated us perfectly well so far). I was silly and forgot a USB cable to transfer pictures, but will be sure to get them al imported, sorted through and edited on my Jetblue flight from D.C. up to Boston for my cousin's wedding. Can't wait to show off this beautiful country!

Going Multimedia

H2 ZoomI've been recently looking into the prospect of incorporating audio into the way I present photos - especially in more extensive journalistic stories. 

Soundslides is an excellent program for creating enhanced slideshows easily shareable over the web and I am probably going to be giving it a try over the summer to see what I can do. 

I'll be heading down to Costa Rica after the commencement ceremonies are done here at CMU (Al Gore is speaking!) with some friends and thought it would be an excellent opportunity to put together some photo/audio stories. As a result, I just ordered up a sound recorder to take with me from Amazon.com and am looking forward to trying it out.

So look for some cool multimedia in the future of jwramp.com!
