Palm Springs and the ESRI Developer Summit

Been at the ESRI Developer Summit in Palm Springs since Sunday.  The drive out here was about 5, 5.5 hours but luckily Caleb drove the whole way.  I am NOT looking forward to this drive by myself tomorrow!  But I AM looking forward to seeing Jen and Kai… immensely. Anyways, we’re at the Hyatt Regency. …

I am Yong Pong

I finally got my photo site up and running.  It’s missing the gallery and some other things that I still have to add, but at least it’s there and not the base WP install any more.  And maybe some day there will be a reason that I actually HAVE a photo site.

Wildflowers @ Shell Creek Rd.

Jen and I took a trip out to Shell Creek Rd. a few weeks ago to see nothing really blooming yet.  I went out there today and was greeted with fields of yellow.  I was hoping for a bit more variety, but it could just be that i’m still a bit early.  At any rate, …

Leaning Pine Arboretum @ Cal Poly

Took a trip to the Leaning Pine Arboretum on Cal Poly’s campus.  Its out by the sheep.  It was really nice, even though I went mid-day some of the pics turned out not half bad.  This would be a great place to visit for anyone who enjoys flowers/plants and there were tons of birds there, …

SLO County Flickr Group Meetup

Never taken photos with a group of people before – it was a fun experience.  I will admit that I got easily distracted and talked more than shot, but it was a lot of fun.  Its amazing how completely different everyone was, and we all got along perfectly fine.

RIP – SLO Mission

I was heading out to lunch, passing through the Mission San Luis Obispo walkway and I saw this chunk of cement that someone had scrawled RIP on and propped up against the wall.  Thought about it the whole time I was eating lunch and decided to snap a pic of it on the way back …

Preggo Pics

Jen and I went out by the golf course and took some pics – trees with shade are a definite plus!  The preggo belly is definitely getting to be large – growing a little Pongie looks like hard work! There was a single flash camera left  on full power, about 45 degrees.

Parental Visit

Mom and Dad came down to visit this weekend, and they brought/cooked a TON of food!  Yay!  Nothing like comfort food to help you along while your wife is pregnant… that doesn’t sound right. Jen wanted a pic of us before the baby came since we most likely won’t have a chance to see my …

Trying to keep up with the pictures…

I’m trying to keep up with the frequency of the preggie pics, but i’m finding it hard to stay on target…  I did get a few on Wednesday before the night was over.  It might be easier if we had a little more room to work with but our rooms are so tiny (and i’ll admit, …

The Week of Camping

Went up to Bear River camping for most of the week but first we stopped in Ferndale to walk around and sightsee, and have a beer.  Ferndale has a lot of Victorian style homes and a nice little downtown strip with shops and restaurants.  Its about 45 minutes to trek in to Bear River from …
