Happy Independence Day Everyone!!!

Posted on July 4, 2011 | 3 comments

I love fireworks! I hate waiting for them, but I love the show itself! This is a sequence I animated from the show that I saw last night.

If you’re viewing it on a devices that won’t show the animation, it’s probably really boring looking!

This is another U.S. holiday that I’m sure more people forget what it’s for. It’s not the 4th of July, it’s Independence Day, it’s for celebrating our freedom!

Today to do list…

Posted on May 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Lots of little things to do.

I’ve gotten two 8+ hours of sleep this weekend! Usually I get 11-14 on Friday and then nothing good on Saturday. If I can do this again, I’ll be up early for the sunny day tomorrow and maybe be on track for the rest of the week!

  • Go out to breakfast. Why? Because I never do… Done: Big Boy buffet, a little disappointing, but they had great dessert!
  • Bike ride: Not sure where though. All the Hines Drive entrances are closed from flooding and I’m sure even more so today. Done: I couldn’t really go as far as I wanted, I parked at HFCC and biked over to Hines Drive but the police made me leave…
  • sunwithclouds.pngBut the weather reports are so conflicting on if it’s going to be nicer this morning or early afternoon. Result: It was nicer than it was supposed to be for longer than it was supposed to be!
  • Clean my house (more).
  • Home Depot to replace one of my room darkening blinds, it’s in pretty bad shape. Done: And I even hung it.
  • Dry cleaners to drop off two things to get fixed: a shirt that had a piece of tape (or something) stuck to the back and a belt loop on one of my better pairs of jeans. Done: Dropped off at the Wash Haus which has the best customer service.
  • Costco: I need a bunch of stuff, but the other stuff takes priority. I can do it after work on Tuesday if I don’t do it today (I assume they are closed Memorial Day). Done:

    • Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series BBC Warner

  • Watch Doctor Who Confidential (the making of). I want to see what everyone was thinking about the bomb they dropped on us at the end. Done: Not a lot of insight, but it makes me the that it (I’m avoiding spoilers) has only been since the beginning of the season (and not longer).
  • Watch Doctor Who again. Now that I know the ending, and I’ll have seen the making of, I’m ready to pay more attention. Done: Caught a few things I hadn’t before, understood a bunch of things that I caught before but didn’t understand the implications. Enjoyed it again!
  • Kick myself some more that I never realized that Amy has been wearing the same plaid shirt all season (see Doctor Who above). Done: Duh!!!
  • Coca-Cola is on-sale at Kroger, 4 for $10. I really need some cans and bottles! Done: Actually decided to go back get even more.

    • Maybe:

  • Set up that scanner that I keep meaning to set up. But that just sounds like a distraction from cleaning.

    • Tomorrow:

  • Dearborn parade in the morning.
  • Bike and blade multiple times for the rest of the day. Not sure where. I can’t imagine Hines Drive will be any more open then.

    Love Cartoons

    Posted on February 14, 2011 | Leave a comment

    Continuing the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I have a few “romantic” cartoons for you…

    indexed-card2810-380x232.jpg
    This is from indexed.
    They do a chart, graph or Venn diagram every day.

    You’ll need to click this one, it’s got a few more frames to it…

    This is from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
    Yes, it’s a little strange but not as cynical as this one.

    Have a great one!!!

    Have a great Valentine’s Day everyone. You might not be with someone, but there’s still someone out there looking for you.

    Beach Couple Ylang Ylang
    A couple in love on their honeymoon…*

    At least I’m hoping there’s still someone out there looking for me…

    * I have no idea if they’re on a honeymoon, but it’s what I choose to imagine for today!

    The Upper Falls of Montezuma Falls

    Posted on December 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

    Just a quick pan of the upper falls in Montezuma. I’m thinking they’re about 40+ feet, but looking how tiny the people at the top looks I want to say it’s taller. Next trip I’m bringing a ball of string to drop over the edge and then I’m just measuring it…

    The thumbnails is small but the video is bigger or you can watch in a larger window.

    FYI, The guy at the end of the video (above) is standing right at the top of the lower falls (130 feet is).

    Actually, the (video) is of the second falls, right above these falls is another pool with some 20 foot falls.

    This was just a quick update since I haven’t done much of an update lately…

    Christmas at Montezuma Beach

    Posted on December 25, 2010 | Leave a comment

    In Montezuma, Christmas at the beach is like any other day, it’s Pura Vida! Which means “pure life”…

    You can watch this in HD.

    I’m off to Christmas Dinner at Cafe Organico and will be listening to Aelias while I’m there…

    Sunset on Christmas Eve in Montezuma

    Posted on December 24, 2010 | 1 comment

    Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I was down by the ocean this evening and the colors in the sky were looking great and I shot some video so I’m sharing my Christmas Eve with all of you…

    It’s even prettier in HD.

    Sadly, Montezuma is on the wrong side of the peninsula so this is all that I can see from here. But I still think the colors looked excellent tonight!
