Comments Off on Photo in Gallery
I submitted one of my photographs for the Minneapolis Institute of Art‘s Foot in the Door4. Basically any Minnesota artist is able to submit a piece of art as long as it fits within a 1 foot cubic area. You can see my photo here:
So if you come visit between now and June 13, we’d be happy to take you by to see my famous art work!

Comments Off on New Laptop – More Productivity
![]() |
My Dell Inspiron 6000 has served me well over the past 5 years. It is sadly coming to an end. Many issues, such as only a 30GB hard drive (Christy’s iPod is the same size) very little processor memory and a slow processor means that it can take several minutes just to load Gmail or some other simple site. It often lags while switching between programs and there are many things I can’t do with it. No battery life means that accidentally knocking the power cable out means I lose all the work I was working on.
So with an e-value code from Parade magazine or some other newspaper flyer I bought a brand new Dell. It was cheaper to upgrade to the Dell Studio 15 from another Inspiron. Studio is the next level up the ladder and has a lot of media functions. I upgraded a few things and still got a great deal that will hopefully last for at least another 5 years. As my current laptop was my first I’ve learned a few things, like letting the battery drain itself completely on a somewhat regular basis.
For those geeks who follow this, here are the components:

Comments Off on 2010 Winter Carnival
We went to the St Paul Winter Carnival‘s Snow and Ice Sculptures today. Pictures are on Flickr (ice and snow). ‘
It was warm and rained while they were making them and we went a week after they were finished, so it wasn’t quite as nice as previous years.
Here is one picture of each, both won 1st place:

Comments Off on 2010 Art Sled Rally
The 2010 Art Sled Rally was another great Minneapolis event. Held a mile from our house we met some friends for lunch at the Midtown Global Market and walked over to Powderhorn Park for the fun event. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Temps around 15 with a bright sun kept us fairly warm. You can see a lot more pictures at my Flickr or with the 6 minute video below:
