I took a walk this evening and noticed a lot of new buds on trees. Looks like spring is definitely here! Some of these photos came out really nice. I particularly like the water drops.

Find Yourself

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

Google just came out with another great service - Google maps. Way, way better looking than Yahoo maps, Google maps can be manipulated, zoomed in, out, left, right, etc. all with the mouse. It's amazing, really. I like how the maps are displayed. I did a ...

Thursday, February 3rd, 2005

Codi and I watched the State of the Union Address last night. It was awesome. I wish we had seen the first half hour, but as I understand it, the second half was the best part. In case you missed it, here's a good 20+ minute clip ...
