Morning Commute


I had to come on to campus earlier than normal for a Friday,
and I was feeling grumpy as I drove,
but this sight (photographed at a red light stop)
was a good payoff for the inconvenience.
I love Mt. Timpanogos!

Cutility


This is my new jump drive.
I think it is absolutely adorable.
The store had Looney Tunes characters, too,
but no coyote.
So I got this nice clownfish instead!
(The head is a cap that comes off,
and can be secured to the chain with the tag,
so it isn't lost.)

Cookie Song


Chocolate chip cookies, ya gotta have more,
You can bake them in the oven, or buy them at the store,
But whatever you do, have them ready at your door,
And I'll love you 'til I die!

Y Mountain Summer View


And finally I learned how to merge all my panoramic multiple shots!

Photoshop Invitations


Today I learned how to make invitations in photoshop.
I admit this is completely 70's cheesy,
but I had fun with it anyway...

Bertram's Vicarious Travels (Or, More Fun with Photoshop)


The merge/masking technique I learned today
can be very amusing...
Here's Bertram on the nave roof of Florence cathedral.

The Peoples of the British Isles

"There were the Scots, who kept the Sabbath and everything else they could get their hands on.
Then there were the Welsh, who prayed on their knees and their neighbors.
Thirdly there were the Irish, who never knew what they wanted but were willing to fight for it anyway.
Lastly, there were the English, who considered themselves a self-made nation, thus relieving the Almighty of a dreadful responsibility."
