This brand-new car was left in the parking lot of a local church while it’s owner’s on a mission trip. Unfortunately for the owner that was this past weekend, when the storm hit. Ouch.
Key West People
One week ago today, we sailed into Key West’s City Marina at Garrison Bight and docked. After cleaning the Heritage, we were “sailors in a port town” for the day. Since co-shipmate Brad and I had both been to Key West before and had already seen most of the tourist things – and because of […]
Life Aboard the Heritage Of Miami II
As promised, today I start posting images from last week’s trip. Here’s a picture of our ship, the Heritage Of Miami II. This is one of the same locations we stopped at three years ago.
Tornados In The Atlanta Area
We’re back, and I’ll be posting stories and pictures of our trip over the next few days, but what a sight we returned to. Along with AL and TN, the Atlanta GA area got hit by a powerful set of storms and a few tornados as well. The building — or what’s left of it […]
Spring Break Once More
It’s that time once again, and I’m heading off with my other son this time ’round. Three years ago my older son and I spent a week as part of a 20-person crew sailing the Florida Keys. This year I’m taking my younger son and his friends. We won’t be aboard the Gypsy this time; […]
Tully Mars
I’ve been asked by a few folks where the name for my new PowerBook came from. World, meet my new PowerBook, named TullyMars. First of all, for all the Windows users in the audience, it’s been a long tradition for Mac people to name their computers. Windows systems do have names, but PC users normally […]
The Grandest Canyon
If Google Mars wasn’t enough for you, NASA has made available new view of the biggest canyon in the solar system, merging hundreds of photos from NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter. Mariner Valley is 10 times longer, 5 times deeper, and 20 times wider than Earth’s Grand Canyon. Here’s a link to their flythough movie (QuickTime). […]
Hiding OneNote Under a Bushel
Like Mike McBride, I really like Microsoft OneNote. I’ve been a long-time OneNote user (since it’s first public beta) and have been part of the non-public beta for the upcoming version. Back in November I even told Chris Pratley that it was the one application keeping me from making the switch to OS X. Obviously, […]
Hello.
Way back when, in the dim dark recesses of time – the 1980’s – the first computers I used were of the Apple variety, Apple ][, ][+ and //e to be exact. My father tells of a time even before that where I would mess around on the TRS-80s at the mall Radio Shack, but […]
Weekend Sports Photography
I added two more sports to my photography repertoire this weekend at Wills Park Baseball’s a sport I know, though I’m working on finding the “sweet spots” from which to photograph the action. I’m pretty much clueless about Equestrian sports though – I just know to stay out of the way of the horses
