Via WeblogTools Collection at WordPress Planet:
Here is a collection of high resolution wallpapers for folks with very normal to very large monitors. With resolutions of up to 2560×1600, including my default resolution of 1920×1200 (which can be very hard to find wallpapers for without streteching) the collections include a lot of high-res photo’s, as well as a few abstract art pieces.
I downloaded a couple and am currently using Feathers. Pretty.
I’m supposed to link to my wife’s work website to improve her Google ratings.
That is all.
A follow-up from my visit to Houston last week: I finally had the chance to eat at a Sonic, “America’s Drive-In”.
The funny thing is, none of us had any idea it was only a drive-in. I see the commericals all the time on ESPN, and have wanted to stop there to see what it was all about. I see the breakfast food commericals about ten times more often than I do for their burgers.
They were all over Houston, I saw more Sonic’s than McDonald’s (which is fine with me). Drive through or drive-in are your only choices, maybe outdoor seating if you were lucky. Had a Jalapeno Double Burger with Tater Tots and a Lime-ade, all three of which were quite good for fast food.
Definitely better than your normal chains such as Hardees, McD’s or BK. Step up from Culvers ups here in the north, but not quite as good as an In ‘N Out out west.
And our thoughts are with you for those of you in Houston right now.
And… I’m back. Spent most of last week traveling in Houston for work. This was my first significant time spent in the big ole state of Texas, and in some ways it’s a different world down there.
First, housing is much cheaper. Like 50% cheaper than here – and with no state income tax, cost of living must be much lower. It was 90 and humid all week – I loved it. I had the opportunity to go to Minute Maid Park and watch the Astro’s play. It feels like they just tried to cram a MLB stadium into a few spare blocks they had open in downtown – the place is tiny. All the modern amenities, but looking into the outfield and just seeing walls and no bleachers wasn’t right.
Demographics were very different. Texas state flags were everywhere – they don’t call it the Lonestar State for nothing.
Now, back to blogging.
I’m back from California, and getting caught up on misc. stuff.
I’ve updated the theme to K2 Alpha 3, added a new Flickr badge, and still don’t care that it doesn’t work in Internet Explorer. Go get Firefox already.
I mentioned the Burn It Club a while back. The summer Burn It session is now on if any of my three readers want to do it with me. I have to say I’m struggling with the theme, but I really want to participate.
I have a ton of stuff do this weekend, more as my muse wills later.
I flew back in from Atlanta yesterday. It’s cooler there, than it is here in Minnesota. That doesn’t seem quite right.
Back from Seattle, though we’re heading home this weekend.
Lots to write about, including the trip, Episode III, 24, and other misc. stuff. More posts incoming.
It’s the 35th anniversary of Earth Day.
But every day is Earth Day. Do your part.
I especially liked Google’s logo today:
It’s nice to be home. Even if the weather is cold, rainy and windy.
