College AmesDay
Here are some pictures from yesterday: It was a disappointing effort by the Iowa State offense, but if they can right the ship, all their season goals are still on the table.
#7 Iowa State Cyclones 16 Northern Iowa Panthers 10
I did take my camera in for Iowa State’s embarrassing, pathetic performance/victory against UNI yesterday. There is a limit of 6 inches on the length of lenses that you are allowed to bring in, so the lens I brought in was definitely a wide angle lens, sorta. You don’t want… Read More »#7 Iowa State Cyclones 16 Northern Iowa Panthers 10

2010-11-08
The pictures in the folder 2010-11-08 are from the last time that Iowa State and Nebraska played each other in football. Nebraska, tired of being mediocre in the Big 12 and being pushed around by Texas off the field, left for the Big Ten. Their fans thought for sure that… Read More »2010-11-08

You Know, I Hurt Myself As Well
35 days working from home in the book. I did discover a new positive about working from home this week. I had to go into the physical computer mine twice this week because Apple products suck. They really do. I have nothing positive to say about them. But that isn’t… Read More »You Know, I Hurt Myself As Well

Iowa State 121 Bad Guys 44
I didn’t take many pictures at Iowa State football games last year because they are getting stricter about the type of camera you are allowed to carry in. At least they are to me. I see plenty of other people walking in with comparable cameras, but I digress. No, I… Read More »Iowa State 121 Bad Guys 44
The Numbing Sensation of Everything
I took several pictures of my sad, pathetic, battered, old trombone. These are the ones that didn’t make the big cut for the big show on Monday.

The Gambler, He Broke Even
Kenny Rogers passed away on Saturday. Celebrity deaths don’t usually have much effect on me. However, I was deeply saddened by the passing of Kenny Rogers. Kenny Rogers is my Mom’s favorite and therefore is one of my favorite country singers. I can’t stomach modern country, but I have more… Read More »The Gambler, He Broke Even
