FYI, my research weblog can be found here now.

08 August 2009

Well, I have resurrected this weblog and souped up its layout. One of the chief advantages of this is to bring my archives back from the dead. Most of the links are not rotted, so lots of older pictures and the like exist to be seen. However, I am still unsure what I am going to do with this place. With Twitter, Facebook, and my research site, do I really need to be dealing with a fourth weblog? I think not. But maybe it can become a repository for longer-form personal writing, the kind that doesn't fit elsewhere. An update a week or month, perhaps. Who knows? I think I will just have to let it evolve with me. No stress or expectations. Worst case, I keep a window open on my life from a few years ago.

Can't forget the RoryCat!

Owen just chills on the couch. He is good at taking it easy.

The kids play in sort of an odd way ...

So, a good day today. Rory is doing better and I got only minor revisions for my sprites paper. Should be easy to bang out those changes by the end of this month. Rory needs one more shot of antibiotics tomorrow, and no puking today!

Or maybe this blog is not as defunct as previously thought.

Haven't been here for a while. This blog is obviously defunct but you can continue following my exploits at my research site, my Twitter account, or my Facebook page. Cheers!

Pictures from our Caribbean cruise can be found on the Kodak EasyShare Gallery website. Direct links to the pictures (one from a digital camera, the other scans from a film camera) can be found here and here. The trip went very well and we had a great time!

30 March 2005

Well, I'm finally punting on sharing pictures through this weblog. I am now doing that through the Kodak EasyShare Gallery website. Find pictures from my Mexico City trip and the rest of Winter 2005 there (you may need to create a free account at the website to view the photos).

Pictures from my impromptu last-minute Oregon trip, which started last Thursday. First, I saw my friends the Partas who just (and I mean just) moved to Portland. They have a baby boy named Liam.

The next day (Friday) JR and Madonna and their family picked me up at the Partas, and we headed to the McKenzie river valley in central Oregon for some camping. Mark and Christy showed up later that evening with Margo and their new foster baby Tyreese.

The next day (Saturday) we headed a few miles away for a family reunion on Christy's side. The hosts were generous enough to take in the whole Lang lot.

Hello, got some more pictures, including some from the field project down near Mazatlan. Ashley has the fun pictures but not in digital form.

06 June 2004

Back again with some more pictures. First up, some gratuitous pet pictures:

Now, to the recent changes with the house. We painted the two secondary bedrooms, and planted a number of trees and a garden in the backyard.

02 May 2004

Well, we continue to make progress on the landscaping. We planted lots of flowers yesterday, and today we had rock delivered, and have started laying it in the non-grassy areas. The backyard grass is finally starting to come in, but my camera ran out of battery power before I was able to take a picture. Maybe another day! It's still got a ways to go. Unfortunately, a landscape fabric staple puntured a main line in our sprinkler system when they first installed it. The slow leak soaked the nearby ground and caused a decent sinkhole, so that and our sprinkler system have to be fixed before we can put rock in that area, and not have to run the hose and soaker all over our yard!

Landscape pictures!

Picture update! Been saving up, so got lots to post today. Let's start with some gratuitous shots of Bacon from February:

Some miscellanous home shots from March:

Finishing up with a host of shots from Mark, Christy, and Margo's trip here a couple weekends back. We did alot, including a trip to Horsetooth Lake, Estes Park, and the Denver Zoo:
