Houser Design Photos

Photobloggers of the world…rock on!

I have, like an fiend, been getting high on all the “sticky” photoblogs projects out there. I recently stumbled across a site that not only has fantastic photos but has an exquisite site design. http://photos.houserdesign.com/

Make sure to check out his links page, I think he has the cream of the crop of photoblogs listed. Hell he listed mine :)

Hats off Houser.

The Great Pumpkin Hunt

Kat and I decided to get some Halloween pumkins today. We have got into the habit of taking our cameras with us when we think there may be a photo op. Today was one of those days. We went to a local farm’s market, and the overcast weather was given nice even light. Not to mention we got some pretty damn nice pumpkins.

My two favorites from today can be found at dropthepuppethead.com here and here.

Some of the shots from today will available as stock images here (may take a week for them to be published)

Some of the shots that I like but did not warrant a gallery entry are below.

Off-Roading

So I the other day I actually got our little dump run pick-up truck (every sweat equity home owner needs one) stuck in our back yard. Some people may think that I we must have a national forest back there. Nope. We have a quarter acre suburban backyard, and I was trying to back the truck up to the garage (challenging even for members of Cirque De Soleil.)

Remember dump-run pick-up trucks do not usually have great tires ( I have had skis with more traction) and I managed to not be able to back up. SO being the highly trained Vermont redneck (that I am not ) I pulled further into the yard. Uh-yeah.

So about three months ago our family from Czech did great things to help us out around the house, including the removal of a very large metal pole from the backyard. The filled it in with whatever was available (as I would have ). Whatever was available had made a happy habitat for grass. In reality it was a grass covered 3 foot mud pit, that was now working hard on swallowing the rear wheel of the truck.

Nothing is more shattering to the fragile man-ego than to have to call your buddy and tell them that you got your truck stuck in your own back yard.

Nothing :)

If you are like me then the debates have left you going, “Is that true?” Here is a website that will shed some light on what is true and what spin.

The countdown has begun. The Doc said that he thinks the baby will be born in about a week. Woohoo!



We can rest easily knowing that Children Services won’t take her away from us. We have a functional Kitchen. Big Thanks to JS for making that happen. Thanks to TG for helping me move the heavy shit. BIG Thanks to Mom for helping us get it all back together again.



If you spend as much time at a PC as I do (hunchbacked and bug eyed)then I have found the best use of $10 a month. Rhapsody music streaming service pretty much rocks. Numbered are the days of disposable media (like CD’s). I have bookmarked all of my favorite albums and can stream them (whole album) in realtime. Add a wireless receiver and the laptop feeds right into the stereo. http://www.rhapsody.com

I was shocked to find out how many people were regularly checking daydreammedia.com and reading this blog. Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone (or taken away)

So it’s back. I will try and put extra effort into both daydreammedia.com and dropthepuppethead.com (new photoblog project)

See you soon.
