It's about time

We were having some issues with one of our Rimage systems - so we got tech support from India! Not really. Chris Williams from our office in India is in town for some meetings and stopped in to get some specialized Rimage training.

HM The Queen and Campbell

As frequesntly happens when children are photographed, Cam was attracted to one of the lights rather than the camera. You only get one chance for a photo like this; perhaps Cooper will have the opportunity and remember where to look.

Take that Jay .

Eclipse

I took this photo from the back garden during the eclipse. I plan to post more photos Thursday evening after I return from my civic duty as a juror.

Let there be light

New lights at GCC this morning. Blue and stripey.

Cousin Walk

My mom & her cousin Nancy go for walk before dinner. My mom saw several houses on the street that she didn't remember looking so run down (she usually walks the other way).

Reagan Country

We went with the grands and the Illinois cousins to the Reagan Library. Perfect weather.

They were preparing for a dinner to honor Medal of Honor recipients. We saw one soldier with his medal - wow. There were portraits of all 110 living recipients.

LA County says 'A'; I say 'C'

At lunch today Travis spotted this egg shell stuck on the vent hood above the grill.

It wasn't from our lunch - so I'm not sure how long it's been there. It looked dry, so I guess it's been more than one day.

Time to change cleaning companies.

Not Montana

We have been cabin bound due to rain for the past 3 days. I do not know how people live without seeing the sun for weeks at a time; I guess that's because I have always lived in California.

On our morning walk we saw all the mountains around our valley covered with snow. I love the snow -- in the distance.

Crash and run

This white Honda crashed into the light post in front of Grace to You. The CHP officer said the driver must have been late for work -- he fled the seen on foot.

I think the drive was on the phone, sipping a Starbucks, while inputting an address into the GPS.
Why didn't they crash into the hateful bus benches instead?

Storm Watch

When there is water from the sky (I think it's called rain) the news gets all panicky and they start non-stop coverage.

Hand in the till?

I've never seen so much cash piled around a register. She was so busy making coffee drinks that she did not have time to get the money into the drawer. First I thought it might be tips, but it was the money collected for the coffee.

Rise of the Silver Guitar Hero

Summer of love

This is the most detailed and creative case mod I've ever seen. And yes, it is air-cooled.

Don't tase me bro

We stopped by the Taser booth to see if there was anything that Rufus might like for his birthday. After a short wait this guy volunteered to be tased. After he screamed, he got up and was fine and laughing about the whole thing.

Make sure your glob is linked

I do not know what glob they want to link, perhaps they intended 'globe'. Then again there are lots of globs on our globe and they may need linking. This company is not US-based - shock!

Vow of technology?

What are 3 safron robed monks doing at a tech show? Perhaps they are looking for electonic nirvana, or a computer-based prayer wheel.

Take 2 they're small

At 150 inches this plasma display is the world's largest. A six foot man could be displayed life-sized.

Cost: no one knew, but the 103 inch version sells for $70,000.00. The 150 draws over 3000 watts - it could heat your whole house, keep you coffee warm, and make Al Gore very mad. You might even have cartons of egg beaters thrown at you by the Sierra Club..

I've stopped asking why

It's an R2-D2 shaped projector with a built-in DVD player and audio.

Why yes, it's DLP!

The Gloved One

Ted was having some dry skin issues - typical for LV.

He only had the glove on one hand, so he had the whole Michael Jackson vibe goIng - but without any of the wierdness.

Not what I was hoping for

I saw many robots at the show, and many of them needed cleaning. This is not a company that offers a way to clean robots, but is a robotic floor cleaner.

Perhaps next year.
