Photography

Now this is what I call an airport terminal.

I’m tired of this scenery crap . . .

Weather is Beautiful, Wish You Were Here

My mother, who is a truly amazing photographer, has finally broken down and joined the Flickr craze.  She has already uploaded several amazing photos like this one:

Ropes

You can see the rest of her photos here.

I don’t know how I missed this, but for the first time since I’ve been on Flickr, I finally had a picture make it to the explore section!  I know it’s only on page 35, but for me it’s a big achievement.  Plus I really like the photo.  Here’s the winning entry:

This will crush the last remnants of Christmas Spirit out of you:

Thanks to Andy.

I decided I needed a little time out of the house.  It’s been quite a few years, but I decided to check out the State Fair of Oklahoma.  Now I’m at home with a nice belly ache.  Apparently gyros and funnel cake don’t mix.  In any case, I snapped a few pictures while wandering around:

Well, after three years of non-stop work, I’m finally taking a vacation and hitting the open road.  It’s an almost indescribable feeling to be away from the office and to know that I won’t be back for a full two weeks.  I’m taking a very long road trip up to Long Island to a friend’s beach house.  On the way, I’m gonna tour the south, see a couple of Tom Waits shows and see how much one person can unwind.  Right now I’m sitting in the Mini dealership in Memphis waiting for my oil to be changed (it’s a long story).  After this, I’m headed to Graceland to get my musical spirit revved up.  Then it’s off to see Tom Waits at the Orpheum.  Not a bad way to start a vacation. I think the car is about ready, so I’m gonna sing off.  I’ll try to post some pictures on the way assuming that I can get a cell phone signal.

Well, I know I haven’t kept up with this site as I should, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of things.

So, last week was spent out west in San Diego for NECC (National Educational Computing Conference). This is the Mecca for educational technology attracting around 15,000 people this year. We have been attending this conference for several years now, but usually in a very small way. To announce our new logo and platform, we decided to really make a splash at this conference. We purchased a large booth space and had a booth professionally designed. We also brought along a ton of computer equipment so that we could perform live demonstrations of our product. It took us two days to set everything up, but I think it turned out great.
