We’re back

Back from the Honeymoon and we’ve got pictures to share

Puppy Love

Havoc is getting bigger by the day! She will be 4 months old on Tuesday and is reaching 40lbs

Since John is gone, he asked me to take pictures of everything and since some of them are pretty cute, I thought I’d share.

Electronic pushpins on a map

I’ve done a little bit of traveling in the past few days and I’ve got one more leg of the trip before its all over and I reach my final destination. Since I was here last, wifi has propogated across almost everywhere that I’ve been. If I’ve turned my laptop on and accessed my [...]

So good I had to share it

Ray Charles covers Ring of Fire

This video is simply amazing – why aren’t there any current musicians with this level of talent? I can’t imagine a single musician who is popular today that could recreate this… simply amazing. [...]

Rainstorm

The first 90 seconds of this video is what made me want to share it. The rest is a bad song that I really don’t like all that much. Well, its not a bad song per say but I don’t like it so I think its a bad song. Watch (and listen) as people [...]

Financial meltdowns of the past

The current financial meltdown isn’t the largest nor the first of its kind. We’ve had our fair share and we’ll probably have them in the future. Neatorama has a great list of them that includes highlights like

The Panic of 1907 Wall Street crash of 1929 Great Depression 1973 Oil Crisis Black Monday Savings [...]

Only a few

My parents were out last week and I took a bunch of photos. Rather than filling the gallery with a bunch of photos that will never be viewed I decided to share only my favorites. You can still check out the full sized versions in the gallery by clicking on the pop up icon (to the right of the camera icon). In no particular order of preference, here are the best photos from the week. You’ll notice that these are devoid of people because I’ve never been great at capturing natural expressions in good lighting. I may get one but I’ll seldom get two.

I took 8-9 versions of this shot and thought that this was the best out of all of them. If you look at the full version you’ll see some jaggies throughout the image. What I wouldn’t do for a DSLR. You won’t be able to see any of the artifacts at this resolution you see on your screen.

I wish this were taken in the wild (it would have been really cool), unfortunately, it was taken in an animal park. It was still quite cool to see this animal roaming “free.”

I took 7-8 shots of this eagle but found that my camera had a hard time dealing with the low light and gave me a bunch of noise. I ran this photo through a noise filter a few times resulting in this highly stylized photo. I like the outcome.

It’s too strange

The following website is too strange not to share – so – here you go. Sexy People is a collection of some truly horrendous photos of people trying to look decent. Get your fix of professionally photographed mullets, people that inhabit bus stops, and those that shouldn’t be allowed to breed. This site, despite [...]

Who's on First?

Tomorrow, John and I will be enjoying one of America’s favorite past times. We will be watching the Mariner’s take on the Detroit Tigers( not to mention one of the best catchers in all of baseball)

In the spirit of baseball I came across this awesome video I would like to share. John posted [...]

Movin' On In

Last weekend was a very busy one for my family and I. We spent all day Saturday moving mine and John’s stuff into our new house. As it happens on move in days, it rained most of the time. It wasn’t too bad though. John and I had wrapped up the stuff from his [...]
