My blog today is on my tech blog where I talk about my brief experience with the new Apple force touch trackpad. Tomorrow I’ll be back with some thoughts on a camera purchase decision… for now, here’s a picture of a cat.
Read moreMemory Monday: Northern Lights
Below is a story that is true, but since I don’t recall every detail with perfect clarity, I’m taking some artistic license with re-telling it. So this is ‘mostly’ how it happened, but probably not quite… The local public radio station was droning on as I drove myself home from work. The weather forecast was […]

Major League Soccer is a major league
I’ve been a fan of our local pro soccer team for a few years now. I started going to games back when they were called the NSC Stars, and then became the league-owned Minnesota Stars. After that season the team was bought by former United Health CEO Bill McGuire and became Minnesota United FC. Ever […]
Read moreHockey game
Last night we had the privilege of going to an NHL hockey game. This is only the second time I’ve been to an NHL game, and the first time seeing our home team play. Our seats were in the upper deck, but our stadium is constructed in such a way that there really isn’t a […]
Read moreDrinking to health!
My tag line has been “beer, running, geeky stuff” in the past, and lately I feel like I need to add photography into that. But I guess I can just consider that a ‘geeky thing’. One area I haven’t talked about much lately though is beer. Part of the reason for that is that I […]
Read moreLittle to say today
Today was one of those ordinary days where trying to come up with something to put here is a struggle. Sometimes when you’re recovering from being sick it’s hard to get the brain to get back into functioning order. So I spent my evening running a few errands with the wife, and putzing in Minecraft. […]
Read moreSick day
Knocked on my butt yesterday. This morning I headed to the clinic and got an antibiotic for a sinus infection. Today’s post is short and sweet. Two photos, one from my DSLR and one from my iPhone, showing off a little depth of field action on the DSLR for the fun of it.
Read moreHands on with some cameras
As I’ve talked about in a few recent posts, I’ve been contemplating a change from my old Pentax K100D DSLR to a newer camera, and was looking mainly down the mirrorless route. I’m still keeping my options open on sticking with a full DSLR, but I wanted to check out what mirrorless has to offer. […]
Read moreMarch snow
Here in Minnesota it’s typical to get wet spring snow in March, and sometimes even in April. This year has been tremendously dry, so we’ve been looking forward to anything that might help with that as Spring dawns. Last night we finally got a bit of moisture, and although southern Minnesota got much more, we […]

Ward 6 review
One of the things that my wife and I love to do is find cool new places to eat that have really solid food, and a solid tap list of craft beers. Today we visited Ward 6 for our second time, and I thought I’d share a few thoughts about the experience. Ward 6 is […]
Read moreElm Creek Trail Photos
Since my last photo blog was so popular I decided to follow it up today with some more photos from my run this morning. I ran 14 miles on the horse trails at Elm Creek Park. By the second loop around I decided to slow it down and take some pics while I was out […]
Read moreDC Convergence
I’ve been a DC comic fan for a large portion of my teenage and adult life. After college I stopped collecting, just because I had other stuff going on like young kids etc.,. Now that my kids are older, and comics are digital I’ve gotten back into the habit of reading some of my favorite […]
