Two For Tuesday – 305

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 @ 9:35 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mentioned yesterday that we were having problems with Paint Shop Photo Pro X2 and were unable to edit/prepare photos for posting. That’s one of the reasons that I hate copy protected software. All too often, it weirds out and suddenly thinks that your program that was running perfectly for a long time is a [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). It is not at all clear from the nonexistent documentation; but I finally figured out how to configure our Eye-Fi cards to upload photos to our Droid smartphones. It seems slower than uploading to a regular computer; but it should come in [...]

Something From Nothing

We went and watched The Girl play soccer this past weekend. She is playing really well. All of the hard work that she put in this summer really showed. She still has room for improvement, as with any athlete; but, she’s a better player at the start of her sophomore year than she was at [...]

To celebrate our successful resolution of our slow page load issue, California Girl and I are posting another video. We have made lots movies; but we haven’t posted many since static content has been so problematical. Not that that’s resolved, we’ll probably post more .FLVs in the future. Enjoy. And remember, even though download speeds [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). I’m finished with the diet that I was on. I lost the weight that I wanted too plus I don’t feel like I “need” to snack as much as I had been doing. I’ll never have a “slim” silhouette; but, I am [...]

Since our slow page load issue seems to have been solved, we decided to post a video or too and see how it goes. So here is a move from our Tuesday photo session. We broke it up into three parts so it’s not super huge; however, it’s really just one longer clip. It’s a [...]

Sunday Shorts #10

California Girl and I went to see Conan the Barbarian this weekend. The story line basically followed the “I live, I love, I slay. I am content” plot that is so characteristic of Conan. A lot of battles with some womanizing tossed in. It was a good movie for a Friday night; especially since, unlike [...]

I accidentally took another picture when I was turning off the camera after our photo session on Tuesday. In it, California Girl looks like she is having a “bad hair day”; but, in actuality, she’s her hair got messed up more than usual from the pillows on the bed. Occasionally, her head keeps slipping between [...]

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). I’ve put on a few pounds in late July and early August so I decided to go on a “diet”. So, Monday a week ago, I stopped eating cookies, mini candy bars and other between meal snacks. I’m already almost back to [...]

Two For Tuesday – 303

California Girl and I haven’t used a lot of props for our photographs recently, so we decided to take some pictures with a pair of handcuffs left over from a Halloween costume that we had lying around. It’s somewhat of an inside joke from the “reality television” situation of a few weeks ago; but we [...]
