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!
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!
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.
A while back Consumer Reports decided to post some pictures of the funny products that they have come across over the past 60+ years they have been rating consumer products. This one to the left takes the cake!
These pictures are just amazing. HDR is the technique used here, it stands for High Dynamic Range photography. I allows for higher definition and more texture to the pictures. 
These pictures are very interesting. The guy basically over exposes the pictures and uses very soft natural light to accent the images. He picks some very interesting and textured objects to take pictures of. Follow the link below to see his pictures. Which apparently are now available in a book from Amazon.
What can I say I am a sucker for good photography/CGI effects. Some of these are amazing, they say that you are always interested in things you cannot do yourself and art is the perfect example of somewhere where I fall short.
