“Cookie Monster Cupcakes” — By the baker extraordinaire (among many other things) Jenny for Xander’s birthday party yesterday. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Transparent Beans” — I haven’t had to buy coffee beans for several weeks. During my weekly grocery shopping today, I bought a bag of sumatra and noticed the new coffee bean bags at Sunflower Farmers Market. Instead of the single line on which people write in the name of the beans, now the bags have a see-through window. Of course, being a coffee connoisseur that I am, I can tell that these beans are sumatra simply by looking at them through the window. (photo via my Flickr)
Under my desk at work has been a huge tangle of mess for years—and growing. Finally got a CableBox, some CableClips and some CableDrops from BlueLounge to organize. Having done it, I actually feel good walking into my office in the morning and sitting at my desk.
“Flowers” — Wild flowers next to the Boulder Creek multi-use path. I don’t love the shot, but it seems to be popular on Flickr with 44 views so far since posting, which is high for my photos (except of course the famous drinking Elmo shot, which inexplicably has 120 views so far. For @dailyshoot #ds260 (photo via my Flickr)
“Photo Rope” — Shot in front of West End Gardner about two years ago. Printed on an HP Deskjet 6940. Hanging on a magnetic photo rope from Photojojo in my office. For @dailyshoot #ds250 for a photo of something I created. (photo via my Flickr)
“How Conservative Is Corporate America?” — Ideological distribution of corporate board members. [via The Monkey Cage]
“Wasted Energy” — A lighted lamp post at Denver International Airport’s parking lot. Shot through a bus window for @dailyshoot #ds256 for light source. (photo via my Flickr
“Squiggly Tunnel” — The airport train tunnel at Denver International Airport. Shot it on my return trip yesterday for @dailyshoot #ds255 for my own motion. (photo via my Flickr)
I was looking for a wheat-new camera when I came across this on Craigslist. Not quite what I’m looking for.
“Gummy Frogs” — I ordered a Rogue FlashBender Smaller Positionable Reflector from ExpoImaging. After one-day delay in Memphis due to severe thunderstorms, the order arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised to find this in the envelope along with the FlashBender, and I was even more surprised to find out that they still tasted good after traveling across the country from Watsonville, CA! (These were like the rawwwwwwwrs that PhotoJojo includes in their orders, except with more ribbbbbbet.) As for the FlashBender, I just started using it this evening and look forward to learning more about how to shape the light. (photo via my Flickr)
“Smooth vs. Rough” — A view of the ocean from the famous Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, FL. @dailyshoot #ds247 for a change in surface texture. (photo via my Flickr)
“Squirrel” — I like how well-lit it is and the details that come through. For @dailyshoot #ds252 (photo via my Flickr)
“Playground” — At a playground in Delray Beach, FL. For @dailyshoot #ds245 for soft and dreamy. (photo via my Flickr)
Twitter wiped Boulder off the map….
X Marks the Spot
A friend of mine picked up his iPhone 4 today, which he had reserved 2.5 weeks ago. I played with it for a few minutes. I tried touching and holding the infamous signal attenuation spot for a while. The bars went up from two to three.
