October 2009 Snow Storm

Dan — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:34:58 +0000

Well it wasn’t a blizzard but it was a lot of snow. One of those southbound storms that just dumps on Denver. One of the odd things about this storm is it snowed for 2 days straight that is pretty rare! Total snow fall is about 21-24 inches.

There are also some pictures of the pumpkins we carved, I bet you can guess the one Laura did and the one I did! Sorry for the blurry-ness joys of taking a picture in the dark you have to hold the camera totally still which obviously I cannot do too well.

I had to dig some trenches for the sidewalks otherwise it floods the sidewalk and freezes and makes a mess!

Landscaping With Life

Dan — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 20:40:57 +0000

So this weekend we decided to plant some new bushes and flowers and trees in our newly landscaped areas in the backyard. 23 in all and lots of holes to dig and lots of dirt to move it was pretty crazy. Showed up at the plant place with pictures of what we had to work with and then talked with a plant designer for about an hour figuring out what to put where and what would work good with the exposure it receives and worrying about things like acidity levels under the trees and what would grow. She was amazing helpful as we are sort of plant retarded! Also we put in a soak line in the front so you just turn that on to water all the flowers.

Everything is in place as you can see below. If you click on the images, on the bottom it will tell you the name of the plant. Figured this was the easiest way to remember what we planted since I never remember that stuff. Chances are we will fill in some gaps with other flowers and whatnot but this was a good start.

Wedding Slideshow

Dan — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:25:32 +0000

Well we finally had our trip and got married in Cozumel Mexico on 3/21/2009. I have attached the pictures to this post. These are just 106 of the 450+ photos the professional photographer from the hotel took. We also had Jessica and my dad taking pictures as well as about 20 digital cameras rolling around. So lets just say that this wedding was well documented!

We were very surprised at the quality of these shots and it also came with a nice little DVD and we also have all the raw images they took. We will be putting together a little slide show for the reception here in Denver but thought I would upload these for everyone to enjoy.

Thanksgiving 2008

Dan — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:35:00 +0000

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving Day festivities we had at our house. We needed a way to break in our new dining room table so we figured we would do it by hosting Thanksgiving. We are still missing out on the chairs but those will come probably after the wedding.

We deep fried the turkey as it is my preferred method of cooking. It turned out perfect and of course made a nice big mess in the backyard but its all good. After dinner we decided to play some Mortal Kombat and Rock Band which was highly entertaining watching Laura’s grandparents play. I think Jack hit 3 notes on the drums at the right time but dammit he had a whole lot of fun doing it!

Compfight – Search Flickr

Dan — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:28:19 +0000

I was reading my blogs this morning and came across this one today. This is a great site and oddly enough exactly what I have been looking for. I have been trying to find some fun and interesting backgrounds for my PS3 and I have been searching Flickr through its regular search and have had modest results. The issue was more about the layout of the results than anything wasn’t really conducive of looking at tons of pictures. This site does just that, it gives you thumbnails and as you roll over images tells you the resolution of the pictures so you can quickly decide if it will work as a background. This also works with the creative common licenses to save you a trip to court which is always a good thing! This site will save a ton of time and bring up tons of new pictures for me. I am assuming the reason that it is so slow is because it’s making its way around the blogosphere and getting hit pretty hard right now. A great find!

Large Hadron Collider

Dan — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:00:02 +0000

This one has been sitting in my backlog for a while to be added to my blogs. Here are a whole bunch of High Definition pictures of the Large Hadron Collider which is now called the Halo Project. This project is on hold until April as they melted a few magnets during their first round of testing.
