Paid the Hosting Sharks

Alright, kids, Chris told me to pay for the “website” in his absence.  I paid the hosting and domain fees after 24 hours of trying to figure out what all that meant.  So, hurray for no service interruptions!  When’s Chris getting home again?

CS3 FTW

Tonight I grabed my cell phone and snapped about 12 random shots of my living room. I plopped them into Photoshop CS3 and came out with this:

This is with just the default ‘auto’ settings. Pretty nifty.

I remember during my undergrad we were using CS2 at the time.  For one of our assignments we had to manually stitch together a series of photos into a panorama.  Manually stitch them together?  That was so early 90’s!  Why not just use the photomerge tool in Photoshop?  With minor tweeking to match up the seams my results weren’t too bad.  I had even used a nice digital camera and a tripod.  But this just blew me away.  Kudos to the Math Guys over at Adobe.

Where The Wild Things Are

I enjoy nature. That’s one of the reasons my wife and I chose our current home. It rained recently and now it smells of a clean damp forrest. It reminds me of camping. So here’s a list of all the things I’ve heard or seen in by backyard.

Bats, Squirrels, Deer, Owls, Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Squirrels, Bluejays, Hummingbirds, A HUGE Snapping Turtle, Snakes, Centipedes, A Stray Cat, A Stray Dog, Tree Frogs…

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

This is a great photo of my daughter. This is her fake angry face. We get her to do this by making the same face and breathing through our mouth with our teeth clenched. She knows we’re joking so it makes it even more hilarious.
