Sadness Ensues
It is the time of year that is filled with sadness. Another college basketball season has come to an end. But despite the gloom that will set upon the land for many more months, it is a time of joy as well. We get to crown a new King of the Roundball Oracles. A new name goes on the plaque of immortals with these past champions:
Roundball Oracles Past Champions.
2011 – Carrie Baier
2010 – Mark Wolfram
2009 – Mark Wolfram
2008 – Mark Wolfram
2007 – Tim Peterson
2006 – William McAlpine
2005 – William McAlpine
The latest immortal is…
Lowell Davis
In the closes Roundball Oracle competition ever, Lowell beat Corey Faust on the tiebreaker.
I will be ordering Lowell’s trophy soon and will be presenting it to him in the very near future. I’m sure there will be photographic evidence to back this up presented in this forum in due time.
Another reason why it was a good year for the Roundball Oracles is that we set a new record with 29 combatants. Shattering the previous participation mark by several people.
Without further adieu, here are the final standings of the 8th Roundball Oracles Challenge:

2. Corey Faust – 275 – Kentucky – 6th

25. Yours Truly – 164 – North Carolina – 7th
26. Toby Sebring – 157 – North Carolina – DNP
27. Brandon Kahler – 142 – Kansas State – DNP
28. Jordan Toot – 119 – North Carolina – DNP
29. Becky Perkovich – 0 – Undecided – DNP
Some people might think that I need to explain why somebody with my nearly infinite basketball knowledge could have fared so poorly, but I will not defend my lowly ranking. Truth is that my goal is just to beat Russell and the fact that I didn’t this year means that I will have to try harder next year. I cannot let RMK get the best of me two years in a row!
Even though the dust has barely settled on this year’s NCAA tournament, I am already very excited for next year’s season. I think that the Cyclones will be even better next season and I can’t wait to see them prove me right. I guess until the season begins anew, I will look forward to the Spring Football Game that is only days away!
Happy Holidays from the Computer Mine
I took the pictures this year for the Computer Mine’s annual Christmas Card. I did not edit or select the pictures for the actual card, so these pictures will differ from the card.
Here are a few pictures of my fellow miners…

Alice – 9 Months
Although I’m sure most people have seen these pictures by now, I have yet to post them here. What was tragically not captured digitally was Jon (who did an awesome job as a photo assistant) turning into a ghost at one point to act as a background. It will definitely be a lasting memory for me.
There are more pictures in the Alice – 9 Months Album in the store:
Alice – 9 Months
Next Wednesday will feature pictures of Logan running track.
Alice at Six
I have not seen a new movie in the last week, so there is no movie review for this week.
Instead, enjoy some of Alice’s six month pictures…
There should be more of these in another 3 months.
Personal Photo Project of the Week #46 Beta
The rest of the I Recommend Pleasant pictures.
I think if you look closely at these pictures, you can see the exact moment where Foster is no long amused.
Something else I am reminded of when I look at these pictures is that I need to invest in another backdrop. I’ve also been considering painting the “studio” area of my basement silver. Mostly because of its light reflective properties and it will look awesome in black and white. I do worry that people will think that I stole the idea from Andy Warhol and I can’t stand Andy Warhol. I can live with it though.
There have been a couple of developments in the world of Foster Q. Bunny.
1. Thanks to Angie, Foster now has an actual cage. Foster was living in a giant rubbermaid container with a screen window on top to prevent escape attempts.
2. My rabbit expert Becky came over and sexed up Foster. Foster is officially a chick rabbit. Good thing Foster is an androgynous name.
3 Months
I took some pictures of Alice when she was 3 months. Here are a few of my favorites from that photo shoot:
There will be Alice pictures at 3 month intervals, if you are scoring at home.
RWPE #44 – Hands
There were a fair amount of submissions for last week’s theme HANDS. Here are the submissions:
Christopher D. Bennett
Angie DeWaard
Julie Johnson
Mike Vest
Shannon Bardole
The Random Generator has been fired up and it has spit out an interesting theme for this week.
Diagonal Rule
This is a somewhat technical theme, so let me quote from Picture-Thoughts:
The Diagonal Rule states that a photograph looks more dynamic if the objects fall or follow a diagonal line. The diagonal line doesn’t have to be an actual line and it doesn’t have to be a straight one. It could be the edges of a river, the top of a forest, or even an imaginary line connecting the different objects in the scene.
There is more of a technical definition that involves math, but for our purposes, I think just have the subject follow a diagonal line is more than enough to think about.
It is a good theme, so I hope that there are plenty of submissions for next week.
RWPE #38 – Face
Looks like Shannon and Angie did find RWPE addictive. They submitted again for last week’s theme FACE. However, submissions were kind of light this week. Perhaps not as many people know people with faces as I would have suspected.
Here are the submissions for FACE:
Mike Vest

Angie DeWaard
Christopher D. Bennett

Shannon Bardole
I’ve been up to the 5th floor penthouse that houses the Random Generator. It was fired up and spit out a good topic for this week:
FAST
There are several ways to interpret this theme, so I will be excited to see the submissions!
