Fireworks

It was Independence Day here on Saturday. Here's a few abstract-ish firework photos I took.

Collin Creek

It's been awhile. I'll try to get going again. Shot my friends band the other night. Here's a couple shots from that.

Bear Lake

The Dude

The subject I easily photograph the most is our dog, Capone. So here are a couple shots of him. The last one is nothing special but it was a funny moment with my Uncle's dog, Bash.

Malaysia

It's pretty noisy and not terribly sharp but it was handheld in pitch black except for the lights around the fountain. Any criticism is welcome for this or any image I post.

Hawaii

Here's a couple more photos from Hawaii. 3 posts in about 3 days thats pretty good for me.

Buenos Aires

Here's a few photos I took back in Febuary. They're from my trip to South America. These were taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Which, as a side note was probably one of my favorite cities down there.

Awareness Test

When I purchased and started riding a bicycle again, I started noticing that most cars don't notice you. As a result I noticed that I became more aware of bikes when I was driving. With as high as gas prices are I've been trying to ride my bike as much as possible and have become a very half-asssed advocate of bicycling. I would like to start doing more and would love Provo to encourage bike riding and become more bike friendly. I saw this commercial today on Salt Lake's Critical Mass blog (see here for info on critical mass) It has both humor and a good message.

StumbleUpon for Safari!! (Sort of)

I thought everyone should know that StumbleUpon is (sort of) now available for Safari. If you don't know what StumbleUpon is and you use Firefox you should check it out. Its basically a Firefox extension that puts a button in your menu bar that when clicked takes you to a random site based on your interests. Its a great way to find new sites or gifts, or pictures and to kill alot of time. If you use Safari you were previously out of luck for StumbleUpon but some kind fellow has released Stumbi. You need SIMBL installed to use it (which can be slightly tricky) and its not quite the full Stumble experience but it will do.

Hawaii/Australia Holgas

A couple photos I took with my Holga. The first one is in Hawaii. The second two were taken in Sydney, Australia. Not terribly excited about Allen's Cameras developing. I think I will try somewhere else next time.

Abandoned Buildings

I love exploring abandoned places. Here is a shot i took a couple months ago at an abandoned house in Provo.

Sloss Furnace

So I haven't really figured out what i'm going to do about posting photos. In the meantime I decided I better post some on here. I feel like I need to get them out somewhere. I take so many pictures that just sit on my hard drive. I need to start doing something even if its just posting them on my lowly blog. These are some photos I took at Sloss Furnace in Birmingham, AL. This is an old steel mill. It has been turned into a museum/venue. It is allegedly haunted and has been featured on many "scariest places on earth" type shows.

I Can Only Dream of These Photoshop Skills

I have seen his work before but here is his latest. What he does is take cartoons and recreate them with there cartoon proportions but with realistic lighting and textures. He calls it "untoon". This is taken from his site. Be sure to check out his Homer Simpson and Mario. Jessica Rabbit "untooned"

It's Hip To Be Square.

Some of you may or may not know that I am a decent yo-yoer. I used to yo-yo alot in high school but stopped for several years. Every once in awhile on tour I'll buy a yo-yo out of boredom. Here's a little sneak preview of what i've been spending my time doing. I fully expect this video to single handedly go viral and revive the dying yo-yo scene.

Twitter is the (Relatively) New Black

After much inner struggle to avoid jumping on the Twitter bandwagon I conceded yesterday. I'm going to give it a shot for a couple weeks. If it doesn't completely suck me in I'm going to ditch it. For those of you who don't know, Twitter is simple way to find out what your friends are up to. A blog I read yesterday summed it up best, the author likened Twitter to your instant messenger away message without the instant messenger. I figured I would stick to it if all my friends signed up for it. So here is my request to all of you (all 3 of you) to sign up for twitter and add me. I embedded my Twitter into this blog on the right side. Whenever i update twitter you can see it there. You can also follow me on the Twitter site or any number of stand alone applications. So go to Twitter.com watch the video to see what its all about and sign up. Go ahead and let me know your Twitter name when you're done.

Time Lapse of Man Trapped in Elevator

Its a video post kinda day. This is one that The New Yorker posted. A few years ago Nicholas White was trapped in an elevator for 41 hours! Here is the time lapse video from the security camera. Keep your eyes on the top right car. This would be the worst. Update: Interesting elevator fun fact taken from the above article. The door close button on elevators built after the 80's doesn't do anything, unless you have the emergency key turned on. It was added to give the illusion of control.

Another Reason Microsoft Sucks

Oh man, This is pretty bad. This is an internal Microsoft video singing the praises of the recent update to Vista. Sadly, I could see Simply Mac doing something like this up at corporate thinking everyone would be stoked.

Can anyone help me? Update

UPDATE: Fixed it sort of. The blog is still a mess but i'm sorting it out.
If anyone can help me get rid of this big freakin' "hello wiki" nonsense on the header of my blog I would be much appreciative. It's driving me bonkers. I have no idea where it came from. If you can offer up any help leave it in the comments.

Thanks
