Kansas City Kite Club Festival 2014

We had a great time Saturday going to the Kite Festival over at Longview Community college!  Relaxing in the sun, taking some pictures and just flying some kites!  I would highly recommend it!  It's amazing that kites can be so massive!  Flying squids, fish, alligators, giant windsocks, parrots, trilobites, and more!

Homemade Cufflinks - From iPhone parts

Cufflinks made from iPhone home buttons.

Cufflinks made from iPhone home buttons.

You know how it goes.  Go to the thrift store, find a great shirt in your size - only it needs cufflinks!  So you go home and make a set out of some old parts you bought off eBay!  Then you have some tech savvy, stylish cufflinks made from iPhone home buttons!

(Thanks to Mike Curtis for the pic and to Greg for the use of his iPhone!)

Last Chance Flight - Beyond Barriers concert

Had a great time tonight taking pictures and listening to a guy that I work with's band.  This was by far the most difficult lighting situation I've been in.  Very low light, light that was all over in color temperature, and no flash during the performance!  Gave me a great chance to really test the upper limits of my A99's ISO!  Had a great time listening to some great music!

All the songs were written by Larry Campbell and they all had really good messages!  They'll be playing again so check out their site http://lastchanceflight.com/calendar/ to find a time to go!

Time for a new site!

I've been wanting to get a new site up for a while, but I never seem to be able to find the time! So thanks to Mike Curtis for prodding me until I got on here!  I'm loving the new look and that I didn't have to spend the time writing all the code to do everything that square space does(commerce, analytics, etc.).

I'll probably pull over some past posts from the old site, and we'll have some new exciting stuff coming up in the next few weeks!
