365 Days of Education

December 21 – WOW

#2 son got a Snuggie, #1 son, a widescreen-gamer laptop. Killer graphics on that World of Warcraft.

December 14 – Christmas Tree

Put up the tree tonight. No idea how to get a decent photo of it in all its lit up glory.

October 15 – Wheelchair accessible?

Of course, there was better access at the other end of the building.

September 17 – Rough Tracks

Every day we drive 7 miles across town to drop off Cody at school, then 7 miles back home, then another round trip to pick him up after soccer.  This is our second school year of that routine. We have been known to make the trip 3 times in a day periodically. Since there is really only one route, the drive can be mundane.

This week, I noticed new signs on either side of the railroad tracks. Rather than fix the track, the city decided to put up a sign.

May 16 – ipod neck

Both of my sons suffer from this condition lately.

April 10 – New Point and Shoot

I’m not sure we’ll be keeping Wade’s new Sony W150 Cybershot.

March 30 – Everyday Joe's

Everyday Joe’s Coffee was the site of the first NoCo Bloggers Meetup. I took a great picture of everyone smiling, light looked o.k., but the shutter was open just a bit too long and it’s blurry. Then I took another with the flash – and everyone looked drunk. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that state of being, except its documentation by a stranger.)

The building was originally a gas station in the 1920s (?). Now it is a church 1 day a week and a coffee house the rest. Great business, great architecture, great coffee, kind souls.

February 1 – transformers?

Monsters v. aliens?

Nope, just the substation down the road. Love the 1950′s tech look!

Danger Will Robinson!

_______________

The “A” in the background dates to when CSU was known as an Ag. school.  It’s a 20 minute uphill hike from our house.

January 31 – New webcam

I’ll be honest. I don’t own Photoshop and I can’t work Gimp.

I can use my new 2 megapixel Logitech 9000 Pro to add some Groucho glasses to a self-portrait.

I’ve got moose antlers, a pirate eye patch, a crown, a pig nose and bunny ears.

Anyone want to Skype me? I am so ready for you now!

january 24 – tech center

As you walk into our main floor living room, the first thing you probably notice is our tech command center. This is the hub for the wireless in the house. We have t-mobile’s at home service and have been using their wireless router. When I couldn’t connect to the internet from 30 feet away, we switched back to the Apple Airport for our main wireless.

My husband wanted to run a wire from the cable modem up the wall and down the second floor hallway to my office, but I voted for the Airport instead. Sometimes my house is more like a dorm room than I’d like.

The wii is at the top left. I had to move it to the “adult” tv or I’d never get to use the wii fit.

We use:

• 2 desktops (HP) + 1 in the box (Still debating)
• 1 slate (Not sure of the make on this one)
• 3 tablets (All Fujitsu)
• 2 laptops (Dell & a macbook)
• 1 xbox
• 1 wii
• 1 ps2
