2010
- 10+ lbs of pork shoulder rubbed for the Big Green Egg. Halloween smoke!
- Wasn’t expecting a frozen Big Green Egg this morning. No worries. Bottom starting fire.
- Midway for pork shoulders on the Big Green Egg. Smell is awesome.
- The pulled pork was a huge hit at the neighborhood Halloween pot luck. Yeah!
Upgrade Bonanza!
Some of you reading this realize how much I like to upgrade things. I really do. I’m not saying it is wise, but I feel a nearly unstoppable urge to upgrade as soon as I can. And my favorite kind of upgrade? Firmware. Upgrading firmware is absolutely delicious.
Tonight was a marvelous feast. Upgrading iOS on an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, two iPad’s and two 2nd generation Apple TV’s. Just great!
Eyjafjallajökull
My friends Dennys Bisogno and Layne Kennedy sent a link around to this amazing video of “that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of” by Sean Stiegemeier.
Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull - May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.
He captured that on his Canon 5D Mark II. That is the same camera I shoot with. Seeing something like that come out of kit that is on my shelf is both inspiring and intimidating.
No More Beatles Rumors
Finally we have The Beatles on iTunes. Now we can be done with all the rumors about The Beatles on iTunes. Thank you!
Editing a Book
I’m working on creating my very first photography book. The editing process is arduous. The light is nearing though. The book is laid out. The photos are selected and tweaked like I want. Using a great combo of fonts. I just need one more marathon push and it will be done.
My dentist has a guest WiFi network. For some reason this surprises me. Stream a movie rental while I’m “in the chair”?

My mom had us over for a wonderful breakfast this morning. Here is a nice shot of Tyler and Grandma.
It would be nice if someone could explain daylight savings time to babies.
Unsubscribing
I’ve started the process of having our name and address removed from all the junk mail that we get. We moved a few months ago and now it seems to be queueing up again. It’s mysterious to me that 8-month old Tyler is getting catalogs.
Chlorofluorocarbons
With an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny, he invented chlorofluorocarbons.

Hey Surly Brewing, is the wax on darkness intended to be an “are you sure?” deterrent. Took 5 mins and 3 tools to get it open. 🙂
I signed up last night!
Listening to Uncle Tupelo, No Depression. Amazing how good this album still is. 🎶 ★★★★★
