Legally Blind On the Boardwalk

Posted on August 3, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Health Care | Leave a Comment

Two Tuesdays back Z and I headed to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for what we intended to be a short trip.  The plan was to drive over the hill, spend about an hour in the ocean, teaching Z to dive under waves and maybe body surf a bit, then get our annual Old Tyme photo.  I suppose I should backtrack a bit here to fill y’all in on one of our most cherished traditions…

When Z and I were reunited…

X2 - Xtreme Roller Coaster Pain at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | Leave a Comment

Last fall I made an “emergency” trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain to be one of the last people to ever ride X, their Arrow Dynamics created prototype 4th dimension coaster, before they did a $10 Million revamp and transformed it into X2. I was very much not impressed, rating it a 3 on a scale of 1-10.

In May I paid for Z and her mother to spend the night in Magic Mountain and get to be some of the…

Turning Snapshots Into Works Of Art

Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment

Three years ago I doubt I had more than a half dozen photographs. These days, thanx to Z, I’m taking three dozen or more every week. The problem is that many of them capture the moment acceptably but don’t really have the power necessary to be blown up and placed as the central art in a room. Coming from a family of painters I’ve always found photographs a little ‘cold’ for display.

Thanks to PaintYourLife.com I can now have the best…

Yep, It’s Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment

Another Christmas successfully concluded. Well, for me at least. See, Z’s Christmas tradition is to spend the day with family friends at their Christmas and that just doesn’t seem right to me, so I spend most of Christmas Day alone. I got up early and headed over to her house for Santa gifts and stockings. Z got a new camera, so we have a few test pictures.

I actually got my gifts from the kids last night. Z made me this…

Top 10 Improvements for ShareAPic

Posted on December 14, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Earning Online | Leave a Comment

A couple of days ago my new image host, ShareAPic, asked “What do you want us to develop next?” As much as I love getting paid to allow them to host my images, they’ve still got a long way to go. Here’s my Top 10 list-

  1. Allow captions for images. Not only does this make the entire site more friendly to visitors, but these could also be used as the ALT text on the thumbnails. This would also help Google Image…

I finally crawled out of bed, splashed some water on my face, and headed off for my solo day at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I had to get up early because it’s a fairly long drive from Morgan Hill (just South of San Francisco) to Valencia (just North of Los Angeles),…
