Triple Tri

  • Jun 27, 2008
  • Post a comment

It's not too often we get the entire Tri together, in fact, its only been a few times that the current 6 (Triple Tri 3.0) have all been together. Caught a Columbus Clippers game two weeks ago and had a chance to snag a picture of all of us while we were there. Had a blast that weekend visiting and catching up with everyone. These guys help keep my head above water and my feet on the ground - it's a rare thing to find a person who readily supports you while still shooting it to you straight - and I've been lucky enough to find a whole gaggle of them. I don't hesitate to admit that my life is happier because I'm part of this six pack.

Jim had this pretty cool Flickr Meme on his Vox and I thought I'd give it a go. It's more tricky than you'd expect, if you really take the time to answer honestly and try to select pictures that you think really peg you. Here's my go at it:

1. Mr John Petrucci, 2. Butterscotch Pudding, 3. Newark High School Wildcats Football, 4. Jenna in Carolina Blue Hat, 5. Jessica Alba, 6. Dew on Vacation, 7. Rainforest Sunrise, 8. Untitled, 9. Mountain climber and instructor, 10. Calm, 11. Loyal, 12. M&M Triple Tri


The Instructions:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

The Questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name. (I used my VOX id)

Bear Grylls: Facing the Frozen Ocean

  • May 3, 2008
  • Post a comment

I read this book shortly after I got it for Christmas (from Ashlin, thanks.) and really enjoyed it. Controversy or not, I'm a huge Bear Grylls fan -- more for the knowledge, determination, and accomplishments than the shock-factor of his shows. This book goes into the planning and mental process of preparing for and completing the first unassisted crossing of the frozen north Atlantic in a rigid inflatable boat.

Stephen Colbert: I AM AMERICA

  • May 3, 2008
  • 1 comment

It's been a while since I posted about what I was reading, so I thought it was time that I get back into that (thanks for the nudge Jim)

I've been reading this book on and off for the last month - I haven't finished it yet, but it's great. Sometimes it's hard to imagine that twisted path that Stephen uses to get to his conclusions, but it's seldom I read a chapter that I'm not laughing by the end. I'm about half way through and I'd already whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone. Grab a copy and give it a go -

I Am America (And So Can You!)
