We went to Wisconsin to attend my second-cousin-once-removed’s wedding (hi Kristin!). This was one of the images I captured at the reception. More can be found at my flickr set

Favorite Photo of the Week
For once, my “Favorite Photo” was not taken by me. (Actually, for twice)
I think this is a great picture of Jenn and I, ready to head off on our triathlon. Awesome image.

Favorite Photo of the Week
My father received a new computer (Dell Inspiron laptop) from his three oldest offspring for Father’s day. I got it set up yesterday and composed a quick video message as his father’s day gift, until I can deliver the computer. Because you can never have too many different media concatenated together, here’s a picture of a video on an LCD screen.
I should have shot it in a mirror, just for additional gravitas.

Favorite Photo of the Week
On Tuesday morning this week, I learned that I wasn’t going to be at work on time.
A strong, fast, thunderstorm blew through Georgia and my house was about 200 yards away from a particularly strong set of winds. Several homes in my neighborhood were damaged and three in the neighboring subdivision were playing host to trees in their living rooms. You could see the line the most serious winds followed by looking for the half-gone pine trees that had been snapped off. It was impressively narrow and straight.
The morning fun involved me, my neighbors, and a chainsaw, just so we could get out of the subdivision. Thankfully, no one was hurt (according to Cobb County), and the clean up went remarkably fast. I got to see how the utility companies deal with problems on a crash basis. They don’t bother with making things neat, they just get it working ASAP. I saw one utility pole that had been chainsawed above and below the utility attachment points, then that stub was strapped onto a new pole. Quite entertaining to look at. They have subsequently moved the attachments to the new pole.
