OK your not going to stop hearing about my new camera for a little while, I just love it!  On my walk this evening I took these shots to give it a test run and I think they turned out pretty well.

This is totally something I would do…hey its legal!

Jason Parks sent me this picture with the following which was funny:  “You could be P. Ditty’s new bodyguard. We will call you J. Diddy and get you a big diamond earring and fancy sun glasses to bling you out. But don’t quit your day job”.  I guess I had that coming posting all of the Diddy pics didn’t I?

It was a whopping 44 degrees without wind chill up at Timberline Lodge Friday afternoon.  Timberline has an elevation of 5,960 ft above sea level (hence the name…so high trees won’t grow) and where they filmed The Shining with Jack Nicholson.  I got some yummy coffee to warm up.

Click the image above for the high quality version.  This has to be one of my all time favorite photos.  Beautiful…

I’m not sure why Ernie has two people to control him but found this picture interesting.

I never enjoyed C++ in college but I got through it.  It will be interesting to see if our kids grow up learning programming methodology in our schools.  Since technology is constantly changing it would be tough to teach a child a programming language they could use after graduating but if we taught students programming methodology it probably wouldn’t hurt.  If you have no idea what the comic means it is a kid who wrote a function to write “I will not throw paper airplanes in class” on the board 500 times. How do we teach our kids of tomorrow the skills they need for an ever changing technical workplace?

Laura is in town this week so “we” (OK I) wanted to take a group picture so here you are.  The first one is funny because it looks like we work for JCPenny.  We are missing Joel and Jill but some day we’ll get you to California again.
