Enough with the depressing stuff!

June 11, 2008 · Posted in Blog, Photography, Places · 2 Comments 

Alright, time to lighten the mood a bit. This has been a trying week so far and it’s not even half over. So anyway, I am on my last week of physical therapy. Oh, sorry Linda, you asked why I was in physical therapy and I never answered you. I hurt my back at work awhile back and have been having problems with the whole healing process. It seems to finally be getting better though.

I am wanting to do a photo tour of my hometown. It will require my actually getting out of the house for a day though so it will probably be a bit before I get to it.

What else? Oh yeah, I got a new phone. My old one was getting wonky and shutting down sometimes. Now one is a Sony Ericsson 580. Nice phone. I can dump some MP3’s on there and enjoy music where ever I go once again. We aren’t allowed to where headphones at work anymore and the phone has a built in speaker, so I win, again!

Now, here’s a photo of our courthouse. I love this building and want to do more photos of it and I will someday.

A small oversite?

May 29, 2008 · Posted in Blog, Photography · 1 Comment 

I assume that most of you have noticed my little daily reads blogroll over to the right. I recently added some links to it, one of them has a risque name. I forgot about it, Linda asked about it, and that reminded me that I wanted to post about it!

So anyway, Cameraporn is just one of those sites that you have to see to appreciate. It isn’t updated daily, but there is enough there to keep me busy for awhile just reading back posts. This is what their about page says, and it explains it rather nicely:

Greetings, and welcome to our site! We are Ryan Goodman and Chris Lea, and we have a confession to make. We are obsessed with cameras. We met as co-workers and quickly found common ground as friends in our Canon 30D SLRs. Soon, we were exchanging tips (by which I mean Ryan was teaching Chris lots of stuff), trading lenses, and constantly sending each other links to gear that we don’t yet have but desperately want. In fact, this last habit became so obsessive that we realized it was closely akin to other, more risqué kinds of internet surfing that guys tend to engage in. Thus the birth of this site, CameraPorn.net.

So anyway, to show their love they even have some photos of their beloved cameras with rose petals sprinkled around. All very tastefully done mind you. I don’t think they exploited the 30D’s in any way.

It is a good read if you are into camera’s, any really, but specifically 30D’s. Check it out and enjoy!

Oh, and here’s a photo, by me, to get you by!

Alright, maybe not too substantial.

I know, I promised something very soon, but you know how I am.

Update to the Comcast situation. As you saw in the comments of previous post about them. It was indeed a member of their team. He called me, while I was sleeping. So I called him back when I woke up (long distance) and got his voice mail. Nothing more was heard, I guess his duties have been fulfilled since he made the attempt to call me. All I really want is the number to my local office, which you can’t seem to find on their site. They are too busy pimping their holy-cow-I’ve-been-on-hold-how-long 800 number. So Mark C. if you read this, just call me with that info and leave it on my voice mail, thank you very much.

In related news, I have noticed a significant slow down on my connection. I hope this is just temporary, although I am afraid it may not be. See insight was giving up 10mbps while Comcast gives you 6mbps. I could usually get around 9mbps when it was insight but ever since the “outage” my best has been about 4.8mbps. Sorry Linda, mbps=megabytes per second or how fast my internet connection is.

I am, at this moment, exploring my options!

I should note that I really don’t want to hate Comcast. I know of plenty of people who do like them and their service is just fine. That is what I want too, I want my service to be just fine, when that happens, I’ll let you know!

PIZZA

February 28, 2008 · Posted in Life · 4 Comments 

Alright, I don’t have much today so I will leave it up to you. Linda did it, and so can I!

I am going to concentrate on one subject though, pizza. Who makes you favorite and what do you have on it?

Mine, I like the pizza from Maria’s, it’s a local place and I usually have it with just Sausage and pepperoni. They have these wonderful, large hunks of sausage they use and the sauce is to die for.

Oh man, I am drooling now!
