This past Saturday I got the awesome opportunity to enjoy Falls Lake with some great friends. Despite the heat, we had a great time and I managed to avoid getting too much sun (thanks to the canopy on the boat).
Probably the most fun was watching friends wake board and knee board. I’m not much of the type to get pulled behind a fast boat on a piece of fiberglass however, I love photographing people doing just that!
Check out more photos over in the Lake Day Gallery.
I know, two posts in one day but I couldn’t resist!
My adopted little sister, Carolyn, graduated from NC State on Friday. No she isn’t my sister nor did my parents adopt her but I met her when she was a freshmen and through a series of events she really became like my little sister. Yes, she annoys me some times but I’ve heard that’s what little siblings are supposed to do!
Friday evening before graduation, her parents were so gracious to take some of us out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - which is always fun.
After dinner, we all met up over at the historic Reynolds Coliseum for the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department graduation. Carolyn received her BS in Mechanical Engineering and I couldn’t be prouder of her!
While it has been several weeks since I attended NAB in Las Vegas, I’m just now getting around to leaving some markings on the internet of my presence there. I’ve posted some photos up in the various galleries I maintain (I know, I know - I can’t really make up my mind which one I like best). So just take your pick!
I started my new job today and was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed to the team with some goodies in my office. I know these are not only for me but also to encourage people to come see me in my new office.
I know that some people are like me in that they love to see the wallpaper on their computer desktop get a fresh look on a regular basis. For some people this means family photos or perhaps some sort of scenic pack. Others go searching across the internet for various wallpaper ideas that meet their needs. Up until a week ago I would frequent places like deviantART or InterfaceLIFT for fresh ideas in wallpaper needs. However, last week is one of my favorite web comic artists highlighted a very nifty application - Desktoptopia.
Currently available on the Mac (beta version available for you Windows users), this cool piece of software gets a streaming feed of some of the coolest desktop wallpapers on the internet. You can set a refresh rate of several minutes to hours or days and it is constantly getting updated with fresh content. If you find one you like, just head up to your menu bar and pause the feed and the desktop will stay there until you tell it to resume. You can even skip forwards or backwards to find the desktop that you just absolutely have to have.
You really should go check it out. No, seriously, click the logo above or this link –> (Desktoptopia.com) and GO CHECK IT OUT! You’ll thank me, really you will. Ok, nothing else to see here, move along now.
