2009
Not the best looking restaurant, but really great food.
Eat Lamb
Simple and to the point advertising. Also proof that the Internet truly is everywhere, and everything. This billboard is on I-35 northbound heading out of the Twin Cities. I don’t remember the exact locale, but it sure caught my eye. (Sorry for the blurry picture, we were doing 75 mph.)
Mazie skiing for the first time ever. She did really awesome. Ruled the bunny hill. She went down it probably 20 times.
The Turning Gate Lightroom Web Galleries ← Nice set of additional web galleries that can be added to Lightroom.
Wintergreen Photography Workshop in Google Earth
I just pulled the data out of my Garmin GPSmap 60CSx from my dog sledding trip. I just love being able to go into the wilderness and just drop my GPS somewhere with a little visibility and get a perfect track log. I fired up GPS Babel and got the data into KML format and you can now see it in Google Earth, check out Wintergreen 2009 Photography Workshop in Google Earth.
If you don’t have Google Earth installed, you can see it in Google Maps using your browser too.
Google Forcing Software Update Install
I just upgraded to the new Google Earth 5.0 beta and was really surprised when I first launched it to get this dialog.
The problem with this are the options. So, I get to either install Google Software Update, or Quit Google Earth. Where is the button saying “Decline” and allow me to just happily run my software and update it myself. Smells a lot like Microsoft. The last paragraph of the text is the worst (highlighting is my addition).
To continue using Google Earth, you must accept the new Google privacy policies and allow Google Software Update to run in the background on your computer.
I may have to remove Google Earth and bid this thing farewell. Google, you must accept that people have the right to choose what software they allow to run on their computer. It’s my computer, not yours. Get back! I didn’t read the new privacy policies, almost scared to look in there. What else does this Google Software Update do while running in the background?
World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms looks like an interesting opportunity to take a vacation and learn about organic farming.
North Shore Photography Workshops ← Photographer offering workshops to improve your shooting, using the North Shore as your subject.
My home office is ready for the hardwood floor installation tomorrow!
