 Last night there was a light dusting of snow that fell on Albany, GA.  The near panic that preceded this icy precipitation down here was so extreme that even fast food restaurants were closing early on Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately I live in a city that does not have a lot of people and all of the roads are flat.  One of the advantages in living in a less densely populated area is that when there is a weather storm there are less people to panic.  Living in a less densely populated area can also be a disadvantage when it comes to getting services and supplies close by, but this time things worked out OK.  Today I have the day off because of this light dusting of snow.  I am glad to have a day to work on some home projects. One of the projects that I worked on last night was I entered a contest to design the next jersey for my cycling group,  Bicycling Commuter Cabal .

Looking for a compact digital camera. This is the spot for taking notes. I want a small camera with a decent lens that takes raw images. It must also have manual F-stop and aperture settings.  I take a lot of pictures from my bike like this one .  My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 takes good images, but I want better. I have an ancient Canon EOS 10D with a Cannon EF 20mm 1:28 lens.  I love taking still life and landscape photos with this camera and super sharp lens.  The dang thing is so heavy that I do not want to ride with it unless I am really on a camera taking picture ride. The The Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR This is another possibility. Generally I have always purchased Canon cameras, but I may have to change.

Working on some of my artwork using Adobe PhotoShop CS6 Here are my goals for this year.  These goals are personal goals and are not intended to replace any of my normal goals for being the best that I can be in all of my relationships.  I have found that I can have fun playing a game with my life and setting goals that I want to achieve.  Sometimes I make my goals and sometimes I do not, but I still am inspired to go for my dreams. I rode 8,000 miles in 2013.  My goal was to ride 6,000 miles.  In 2014 I want to ride 10,000 miles.  I have not ridden 10,000 miles since about the mid 1990's. I will not drink soda with corn syrup this year.  I will not have sugary drinks during my lunch. I will ride my bike at least 5 miles each day. I will frame at least 5 of my pictures. I will sell at least one print of my artwork.

Lonnie and Del Kimbrough as Santa Usually I am such a "Bah, Humbug" person this time of the year.  This year I surprised myself by being sort of in the holiday spirit without any sarcasm.  There are two highlights to this Winter Solstice that I would like to share. One seasonal highlight is that I took this picture with my direct supervisor Del Kimbrough who is dressed as Santa Claus.  He was asked by the Albany State University Early Learning Center to pose as Santa for the children.  During a break between the classes some of the IT staff wanted to take pictures with Santa.  We had a lot of fun with the photo sessions. Another highlight of this season is that I put Winter Solstice lights on my bicycle.  I got the inspiration from a rider in the Bicycle Commuter Cabal of which I have been a member for over a year.  I got the battery powered lights at Target.  I have had fun riding to and from work with them on.  during this time ...

All links in this article support my point of view.  As with anything on the Internet do not believe what you read just because it is on the Internet.  I believe all of this stuff about the actual birth of Jesus because my dad explained it to me at a very young age. This is why I really miss Austin, music and free thinking culture.  It was a rare occasion that I was driving my truck to work instead of riding my bicycle and I heard this interview on NPR about For An Ex-Christian Rocker, Faith Lost Is A Following Gained .  It really hits me and made me realize that as a son of an African Methodist Episcopal minister that I too have become an atheist or humanist . I have always had a big problem with not living life for now instead of living life and putting off everything because you are waiting for something better after your die.  Believing that some entity has control of your life or believing that all you have to do is wait for some help wi...

On November 25, 2013 I spent a cold and windy morning on the roof of the ASU academic building watching a crane lift chilling units to the roof.  I was then with the son of my boss Wiley Kimbrough. I may edit out the wind and add comments later, but for now here is the raw video and some still shots of the install with the crane.
