Nerina Pallot: Year of the Wolf
I recently discovered an online magazine called Wears The Trousers, a site dedicated to promoting female musicians and artist. They seem to have a talent for finding all types of music and artists that you’ve never heard of, as well as a few that you might have heard about. They are good source for discovering new music.
Google Android Bots
Last week while out shopping Jenny found some of the official Google Android Bots, mini collectables that come in various design styles. They seem to be a bit rare and hard to come by so I was pretty stoked when she surprised me. I caught a few shots of them playing in our backyard, here are six shots that turned out pretty nice and can be used for desktops.
Steve Jobs…The Crazy One
Today is a deeply sad day throughout the world, we have lost a remarkable human being, the insanely brilliant Steve Jobs has passed away.
Steve Jobs was one the worlds greatest visionaries that created a lifestyle of products that touched us and complimented our lives harmoniously unlike anything else.
Medlock Ames Wines
Over the last year or so I’ve been introduced to many great wines, wineries, and wine makers through wine.woot. Medlock Ames is one of them and I’m very happy to learn about them and their amazing wines. While we have yet to visit their winery and tasting room, we have enjoyed their wines throughout this year.
Sculpterra Desktops
After posting the Cambria Cliff Rock desktop, I thought I’d share a few more of the desktop quality photos from that trip. These two desktops, titled Sculpterra Eagles and Sculpterra Fishtail, are from Sculpterra Winery, a winery on the east side of Paso Robles. They have a beautiful sculpture garden surrounding the wine tasting room.
Whalebone Desktops
After posting the Cambria Cliff Rock desktop, I thought I’d share a few more of the desktop quality photos from that trip. These two desktops, titled Whalebone Blossom and Whalebone Barrel, are from Whalebone Vineyards, a small winery on the west side of Paso Robles. A beautiful drive on Vineyard Drive off HWY 46 going north. They have a great wine tasting room up on a small hill overlooking the vineyard valley.
Cambria Cliff Rock
Took this photo back in March of 2009 on a road trip to Cambria, California. We stayed at the Cambria Pines Lodge and hooked up with some friends to go wine tasting in the Paso Robles region. From the lodge, cross HWY 1 and drive down through the coastal neighborhood until you come up on a staircase that will take you down to the this nice little beach with tide pools. It’s a beautiful area that is fairly isolated, a good spot to meditate and simply enjoy the sounds of the ocean.
R.E.M. Calls It A Day
On September 21st 2011, R.E.M. announced that it has decided to call it a day as a band. They have disbanded. I saw this posted on Facebook and immediately I was bummed. I always felt like I was late in learning about the band and getting into their music. Many people have a strong connection to their early albums when they started out as a young college band.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
This year the slow summer season between great game releases seemed to last longer than usual. The year started out great with games like Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, Portal, and L.A. Noir, all of which were fantastic games that I thoroughly enjoyed but then nothing for about 2 to 3 months until Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Turning 41
Turned 41 years old today. I suppose it means I’m no longer a young adult and finally moving into a so-called “normal” adulthood or something like that. Yet I still feel like someone in their twenties at times, only my body doesn’t quite agree.
