Phoenix skips spring, so I am leaving my favorite photo from winter now that summer is here. Not sure what will come of this year, but it looks like taxes this year will wipe me out. I really want to have all of my adventures, so maybe it is time to start spending a little [...]

Following the Sunset
Friday My weekend was pretty awesome. Friday night started with seeing the movie “Hunger Games” which people seem to have been clamoring to watch. After the movie got out I decided to just hang out in Downtown Phoenix and grab some food before the concert. While on my walk to Five Guys (first time there) [...]
Out with the Netbook, In with the Macbook
As some of you know, I have been working from a $300 netbook for the past year whenever I travel. The netbook is fine for editing text and checking email, but falls short when trying to handle anything more. Luckily I can code most things without the help of an IDE, but coding an image [...]
Bike Ride Photos
Here are a couple of the photos I took while biking up South Mountain Yesterday. I did get a little lost and went up the wrong way to a hiking trail the first time. Granted, a pedestrian only trail would have been safer. There were so many cars, many of which I only were were [...]
South Mountain Updates
This is a long overdue post. I am visiting Phoenix, and have been for a while now. I spent Christmas, New Years, and today down here. This was the first Christmas without Grandma, and it was the white elephant in the room for quite a while. Not going into sad things here, because why leave [...]
First Snow of 2011
This post is a bit delayed, but Minneapolis received its first snow of the season on the 19th. I walked to downtown and headed to my usual perch. Turns out elevators are disabled to those without keys during the weekend. I ended up climbing the stairs to the 25th floor, and ran into security on [...]
Old Seattle Photos
I was going through my old photos and stumbled across the ones I took while in Seattle. I decided to try my hand at editing them again, as it has been around 4 years and my post-processing skills have hopefully gotten a little better. The first one is a heavy crop from a 6mp camera [...]
Return a Date Range Array in PHP
I think this code might come in handy for me as well as other programmers. It lets you pass two dates and returns an array containing the range of dates between them. I had found code previously, but there was a glitch and so I decided to just write my own. Copy and paste version [...]
Music Filled Weekend
Friday, Saturday, and Monday had music filled nights. Friday Norman and I headed out to the Shonen Knife at 7th St. Entry. It turns out the opening bands were way better than I had hoped. Blind Shake was the opener, followed by Heavy Cream which was good enough for me to decide I needed their [...]
Riding Weather
I love the fall for the colors of the leaves, the brisk air, and the overall beautiful riding weather. The Wayzata ride I normally do was absolutely gorgeous. I have missed out the couple Saturdays before last weekend, but I think this Saturday I am going to try and make it out there again. I [...]
