Playing around with a cool little application named “Poladroid,” that creates fake polaroid photos based on pictures you feed it. Kind of fun. The results are pretty impressive!

Went golfing this weekend with some old friends at the Calimesa Country Club. This was probably the second time in my life that I’ve ever played golf. Here I am, taking a swing at things.

The video was filmed with a Kodak Zi6.

Back home in Mentone to visit my family and friends for Christmas. While hanging out with some friends earlier this weekend, we created some “killer cookies.”

Just went to my 40th In N’ Out burger today. Wow!

To celebrate, I created a pseudo web app (iPhone and iPod Touch friendly!) that show a map of all the locations I’ve been to. Check it out!

While hanging out at AGU today, I stopped by the local coffee shop to recharge with some caffeine and sugar. As I was happily gnawing away on the limbs of my newfound gingerbread man, I couldn’t help but to coin a new word (this is what multiple, full days of science do to you).

Gingerbreadmanocide

Definition (noun) – The deliberate and systematic extermination of a type of pastry.

This week is the annual AGU conference in San Francisco. It’s basically a who’s who in the world of geosciences, with lots of exciting research, talks, and poster sessions going on. There are somewhere around 15,000 scientists attending this year.

Over on my Geology News blog, I posted a video that I put together.

This is Tesla Claus – found during Santacon 2008 in San Francisco.

Whoa! (Another thing to add to my – “things to do before I die” list)

This great faux-advertisement pretty much sums up what the auto industry is trying to do.

I shot a private event this past weekend at the California Academy of Sciences. One of the benefits is that the museum was mostly empty. I took advantage of this by wandering around the aquarium and checking things out.

Interestingly enough, since it was evening, many of the animals were actually active. Including the alligators.
