They are looking to make good on Hoiberg’s promise of a national championship. The UNI Panthers… Read More »ROUNDBALL ORACLES YEAR 11
A zinnia from the Iowa State Fair In honor of Micky’s last day in Hardware, I thought I would post his favorite: FLOWER PORN.
One of my coneflowers. A very healthy batch this year. Well, we did it. We made it to 100 Photos of the Day. I figured there was no better way to cap off the first 100 with what Micky would call “flower porn”. Somewhere Russell is shaking his head.

But I think my post college basketball season depression (or PCBSD as mental health professionals call it) was even greater this year than in years past. You… Read More »Photo(s) of the Day 0007

One of the most popular weeks at the Computer Mine is Customer Service Week. There are lots of theme days and people get to dress up in costumes. The week climaxes with the crowning of a Customer Service Week King and Queen. It reminds me of Spirit Week at dear… Read More »Spirit Week
Back in August I went on my 2nd ever work trip for the day job. I went to Corning, New York and Mansfield, Pennsylvania with Micky. We had enough down time to crack out the camera a little bit. Very few pictures are from Corning, Iowa. No pictures are from… Read More »Corning, New York
Watkins Glen A couple of months ago I went to New York State for the day job with Micky. On one of our free nights, we took the rental past a bunch of poorly spelled firewood signs to a beautiful park in Watkins Glen.

Purest and Most Thoughtful This small series of pictures grew out of a conversation with Micky and Vest. The rest of the Purest and Most Thoughtful Series: You might be wondering how these images were made. Good.
Since most of the random pictures I’ve taken are of the “can’t-quite-publish-yet” variety, I thought I would publish some of my favorite Instagram pictures of the last few months. Since I got a new phone and have been able to get back on Instagram. Of course, if you follow me… Read More »Instagram Update

A few weeks back I spent a night on Lake Augustin trying to catch some fish with Micky. This was the first time I’ve been fishing in over 20 years. Last time I went fishing was with my grandpa. I got bored and wandered off. He wasn’t too happy. Here… Read More »Fishing Lake Augustin
