So yesterday Mar commented on how bloodshot my eyes were. So I told her the silly story of why they were so bloodshot, which didn’t involve drugs or alcohol, hehe. Tuesday night, Dan and I were having a mega conversation when Bobo came down to visit (he must miss Kate, cause unless there’s food being…

Jesse: So, I’m at this professional photography studio helping create a new MBA pamphlet. Jesse: I think I can now officially call myself a hand model. Me: “Cause I’m a hand model, mama! A finger jockey. We don’t think the same way as the face and body boys do…” Life would be a lot less…

Why is fire so fascinating? Sitting around a campfire talking, telling stories, laughing, eating smores or conjuring up new ways to cook food with a camp fire– it’s got to be one of the oldest forms of recreation, and yet we still love to do it. We go up into the canyon and escape, even…

I was flipping through digg.com (a sorta tech news blog) when I came upon a link to an article about how students at BYU had created a remote conctolled ornithopter. I’m usually curious to see what the reaction is when someone mentions a church school like that, so I read through some of the comments…

I had a realization while I was in Hawaii this past week. That was that my trips to Hawaii have been incredibly rejuvenating, relaxing, and therapeutic. Therapeutic for the soul, even. While there, I am in such a different environment than I am typically used to, and besides being different, the environment is soothing– the…

Beginning the trail to Delicate Arch on Saturday The reward at the end of the trail (that’s actually Jeff under the arch) Thought I’d post a few pics from last weekend’s trip to Moab / Arches. Other logs of the trip: Crazy Pills & Heeble’s. First off, as an addendum to my last post where…

From the drive to work this morning: Does this qualify as being riced up? I know there’s no huge a spoiler on it but I was otherwise amused at how this Maxima had been modded– probably because I drive a Maxima too. I used to really be annoyed by people that would tailgate you, then…

In answer to a question in my last post, here’s the new camera I’m using as of last week: Yes, red. Rockstar Red, as Canon calls it, though I don’t thinkthat name does the color justice. Except this is the European version– so the text on mine says “Powershot SD30 Digital Elph” instead of “Digital…

This semester I’ve learned more about “unwinding”. Not how to do it, per se, but that it seems to be necessary to a healthy night’s sleep sometimes. I remember when I lived in Provo with Schmidy, I’d frequently find him sitting in front of the TV around midnight or so. You have to keep in…

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of Apple fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. When I bought my MacBook Pro, my brother Steven had once question for me. “Can you play Counter Strike: Source on it?” Because without that ability, it was worthless in his eyes.…

In recent years I’ve become a much lighter sleeper than I used to be. I often wake up a number of times during the night, resulting in much poorer sleep / less rest. I snore like a champ (those who know me can attest), so the thought occurred to me that maybe I had sleep-apnea…

A little over a year ago I became aware of a web site called Myspace. It was apparently some sort of social networking site. Within a matter of months it seems that everyone began to have a myspace page there (kind of like how blogs are a dime a billion these days). This place can’t…

An ad for Sam Hawk that I designed a year ago for a non-design class in school. Mouth watering? gus·to   (gst) n. 1. Enjoyment or vigor in doing something; zest. A number of weeks ago my mom commented that my brother Dan “eats with gusto”. Think of the movie “What About Bob?”. Similar enjoyment factor,…

I had a different title for this post, but without a picture to make the quote effective, I scrapped it in favor of just posting this ramble sans pic. Yes, my Canon SD10 does not seem to have survived our recent trip to Moab, it no longer functions, and on top of that it ate…
