December 3, 2007 – 9:42 am

It just started icing to boot. It’s really going to suck getting home.

Belated. . .

November 1, 2007 – 4:49 pm

I’d make a horrible Dad. I know it. Know why? Got any clues? Well, in 2006 on 10-25 at 9:57 P.M. I posted my first article here on Brickblog. Why, I remember when this blog was still in diapers, I was excited to get 1 visit after posting oh so many articles. To date, I’m [...]

Post Crazy

October 9, 2007 – 11:50 am

Lunch Break update: Sorry for the lack of updates over the last few weeks. Over the past 2 months we (my wife and I) have either been on the road, or had house guests every weekend culminating in Amanda and I going to completely different states for weddings. Now I’m not complaining, far from it. [...]

Fog Machine and Lego

October 7, 2007 – 5:08 pm

I picked up a small fog machine this weekend. I saw an example of usefulness in photography recently and just had to get one. Most likely it will help me add mood to my Lego scenes.
The setup was fairly straight forward, but required some dialing in. I have a D40 and an SB-600 flash. [...]

Tobacco Hornworm Moth Caterpillars and Smiling Dragonflies

September 23, 2007 – 6:13 pm

Went out back tonight to bring in the jalapeno pepper plant for the fall and found it mostly eaten. When I looked closer, I found this caterpillar from the hawk moth family enjoying a pepper. It devastated the most of the plant. :-(

Earlier today I spotted some red dragonflies outside. I was able to get [...]

Be a consumer whore, the easy way!

August 16, 2007 – 8:25 am

As anyone can tell, I have an Amazon Associates store that I have connected to my blog. That way when I review something, and you, the reader, are sooo compelled that you must buy it RIGHT NOW, you can. So when I saw that Amazon was offering context ads, I thought I would give it [...]

Batmobile Assembly Time-Lapse

August 14, 2007 – 9:37 am

While on vacation, I finally had a chance to do a little project I had been planning for a while. A few months ago I got the UCS Lego Batmobile (Set 7784) for about a third of msrp. I had also been playing with Nikon Camera Control for a little while and had been trying [...]

Hummingbird Clearwing (Hemaris thysbe)

August 11, 2007 – 2:19 pm

Not too long ago, coworker and friend Dave told me about a strange ‘hummingbird’ he had seen one night. After great deliberation his family decided it must be a hummingbird moth.
Today, while mowing my untamed lawn, I had the chance to see this magnificent creature for myself. As it buzzed around just like our hummingbirds, [...]

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. What can I say, I got a new job, got up to speed with the group in 2 weeks and presented at a week long conference for Faculty my new group puts on yearly. So as my first post back from the world of FITSI I present [...]
