Excellent commentaries.

It runs about 25-30 minutes...

If the embedded video doesn't work, try going here.

Hey folks, if you wanna see me in my professional capacity (as a geek, not photog), I'll be on CNET's the Real Deal this afternoon (Thurs) at 3:00 central time. This is a live video show - I'll be joining via video skype. You can pose questions via email or phone I believe - details here.

This got me laughing out loud - really well produced. I'm trying to get in the habit of posting again - when you are out of the habit, it is hard to get back in. Also trying to finish some home projects...

Hey Folks - every fall, things get a little bit busier. Adding the house and Banjo in has made it that much more busy. Things are going extremely well even though I have no time to write about them. Lots of photos - this past weekend I learned a lot and got some of my finest football shots yet. Go Gophers!

Weekend is flying bye for me - shot a lot of soccer yesterday, football and volleyball today. I rather liked this photo below, came from the U volleyball game. More soccer tomorrow, then editing editing editing! Also, hanging out with James and Autumn! Yeah for visitors!

Tried to attend a town hall forum in Saint Paul today with my Rep, Betty McCollum at Macalester's chapel. It holds 400 people. I was about 15 people back in one of the three lines for residents when they ran out of tickets. Stuck around to listen to it for a bit anyone (on loudspeaker). Ran into Sarah Humpage, a friend from Mac and HHH, so it was extra worth going.

Some fun observations:

• Ironic to see wildly obese man booing health care reform. Seriously short sighted...
• Small business owner dude goes on and on about how there is too much government and we need less government... oh and there should be health care portability, so when you leave your job, you can take health care with you. Ironically, this would require.... government regulation! Anyone for a LESS GOVERNMENT - MORE REGULATION cheer?
• Conservatives want to achieve universal health care with tax breaks for poor people. Poor people can't USE tax breaks because they don't have enough income!!! Perhaps we should solve the problem of quadriplegic mobility by buying them standard transmission cars.
• People railing against the public option idea because the government probably wouldn't cover 'x' ... it's an OPTION! Don't freaking use it if you don't think it will cover your shit. Look up "option" in the dictionary.

Michelle and I are totally out of the apartment, turning the keys over tomorrow.

I am finally starting to post photos of our new house - here are some shots of the exterior.

Michelle and I are settling into our new home. I'm sitting on the couch, watching Watchmen with Michelle. Looking out on the street, greatly enjoying the view. Banjo seems to have settled although he is not yet ready to poop in the backyard. To be fair, neither am I...

Photos coming soon, or so I keep telling myself.
