Practice

Minna and Hannah were gone this weekend to Seattle so I borrowed the camera from work and went to Central Park to take pictures and learn how to use this camera. It was a great lesson in depth of field. I really was trying to take some photos with some out of focus and some of the photo in focus. And this is the result. These are the best that I took of that day. I took these with a FujiFilm s7000.




this one is my favorite of the day









Carrie blogs!

I showed my sister-in-law Carrie how to set up a blog and post pictures and she posted a couple of pictures and I thought that would be the end of that. Alas I have been proved wrong again. She posted, with no assistance from her husband or me, more pictures. Good for you Carrie!

previous posts

I should mention that I found all the cool stuff to see below on boingboing.net. It's a pretty good blog. They have some pretty cool stuff but I really don't like them when they use profanity. I thought the first time I when to boingboing.net that it was the coolest clean blog. It had all sorts of just wierd cool stuff then I started going there on a regular basis and they proved me wrong, oh they still had cool stuff but it's not an entirely clean blog. I wish they would not post profanity and potty humor stuff. It's so degrading on their #1 linked-to blog status. Sure they get a lot of links but it's just so lame when they swear and are vulgar. Shame on boingboing for being such and awesome blog that can't keep their nose clean.

(actually I should mention that not all the things below were posted on boingboing.net but that my web surfing was initiated there)

I've always dreamed of flying

This is one really cool product. It isn't on the top of my things to get. For the most part it is at the bottom, but boy o boy I would love to try this bad boy out.

it's a pogo stick It's supposedly awesome enough to give you 5-8 feet of bounce.

politics

I don't think I'll every say much in politics on my blog. this link is about the extent of it. Oh you never know... I might say more someday.

craftyness

People are so crafty. It is amazing. You can do anything with just about nothing if you have enough time. Here is a link to a book about making something from nothing. This page gives some pretty good examples of making a whole lot of something from nothing. check it out
