In what should have been a clean sheet for Keller, the Sounders shut down Colorado 3-1. Marshall & Nyassi’s return generated some excitement among the fans, and they both smiled and signed autographs. The first 1/2 started off a bit slow, but the 2nd really made up for it!
Some pictures form the Sounders v. Whitecaps game at Starfire. All the pics are on Picasa right now. Mostly because I’m too lazy to upload them all twice.
It was a really fun game, but really cold. By the time we left, I couldn’t feel my fingers. Thanks to Yancy & Amy for braving the cold with us. Let’s hope we continue to improve, and have another successful season!

I was on a drive through the back roads around home (around here if you must know). I rounded a corner and came upon a little blue car stuck on the road. Their bald tires and front-wheel drive couldn’t handle the snow/slush/ice on the road. They were working on chaining up so they could continue their journey, so I returned to my truck, and backed a ways up the hill to a pull out. While backing up I was blinded by the sun coming through the trees, and it occurred to me it might make a nice picture. The results are below.

Those are rubber chickens hanging in the windows. Just below the Wexley School for Girls. Yeah… I don’t know either.
Sorry for the excessive posts today. Testing twitter integration with the blog. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. (you know, no posts for six months, and then a whole bunch of nonsense, and then nothing for six months).

Another random bunch of pictures from a drive through the wilderness. 47.977735N Lat x 123.190400 W Long @ 2,370′
Oh, and some goats on a roof.
Some random pictures and a shirt video of the dog, compiled into a quick video using iMovie in my iPhone. More an experiment than anything valuable. High “Awwwww” factor, though.
(it’s a QuickTime video, so you’ll need applicable plugins. Or go see it on Facebook)
Just some random shots. Need to clean them up a little, especially the white balance. Transferred from the Sony directly to the iPad with the camera connect kit, which was pretty slick.
And one of the images after a little editing on the iPad. I had more, but unfortunately the app I was using (Adobe PS Express) crashed, and I lost the other edits. Now to hunt for a better app…
I was fortunate enough to be able to take some time off work, and head out on an all-too-short vacation. The best part was I got to hang out with my family! A few days with Mom, Cindy & her crew, Shayla & her crew, Joey & Jan! It was an absolute blast, and some much needed time away from work.
So without further ado, here are some pictures!
** I have removed the flash slideshow so it doesn’t slow down the front page so much. If you want to see the pictures, you can click through to the Picasa web album ** {6/28/10 ~ MD}
From here you can click through to the Picasa web album (or just click here). From the Picasa album, you can download / print / order prints / etc.
Hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
Fun weekend. w00tstock was (as I stated previously) amazing. People keep asking what, exactly, w00tstock is/was. Even after 3 hours AT w00tstock, I’m not 100% sure how to answer that question. I guess “geek fest” would work. It was an awesome experience, and I will return if/when they return. The whole event was a blast. It ranks up there with PAX for freeing the inner geek.
This picture does not do any justice. If you have some time, go to YouTube, and search for w00tstock. (helpfully linked here). Paul & Storm were hilarious. I must confess a limited exposure to their music prior to w00t. Their studio music is fun, but not nearly as good as seeing them live. I will be buying much music in the near future. Adam Savage was awesome. I would pay good money to watch Mythbusters in uncensored form every season. Make sure you tune in to the show in a few weeks, when they do the waterslide experiment. Wil Wheaton was very Wheatonish – always fun. Molly Lewis & her ukulele were also a sight (and sound) to behold. If you watch anything on youtube, make sure to include Molly Lewis & the Wikipedia song and Paul & Storm’s pirate song. Big kudos to the entire organization for releasing the performance under the creative commons.
w00tstock 2.0 - Seattle
Saturday was the Seattle Sounders game, which was… we’ll go with disappointing. The players knew it, the fans knew it. It was bad.
