Thanks for watching

By John | Published: August 25, 2008

Afternoon at Lake Superior

By John | Published: May 18, 2008
Spent the afternoon down at the Lake today with Leeroy and the Mrs.  I have to admit, Duluth in the summer time is not that bad.  If the tourists were not around it would better, but today was pretty beautiful.   More pictures here.

By John | Published: April 24, 2008
I guess it appears like I haven’t been doing much since there has been a lack of new posts on here, moreover a lack of tech related posts. Well, usually I post a techy post if I stumble upon something new and/or interesting at work and obviously its been kinda quiet on that front. So [...]
