Lamp Bench

2011-06-05T23:59:00.000-06:00

I was on a brief walk today and spotted this broken-off lamp sitting on a bench. I'm not sure how the nearby post got decapitated, but I thought it was interesting.

Slate Canyon

2011-06-04T23:59:00.000-06:00

Joanna and I hiked up Slate Canyon today, around to Slide Canyon, and back down by way of the Y. It was a long, but good, hike! Somewhat surprisingly, there were still several feet of snow up top, although we didn't actually climb any peaks.

Imprint

2011-06-03T23:59:00.002-06:00

I got new flip flops just a few days ago, and already I'm getting toe marks in them.

Area 75

2011-06-02T23:59:00.004-06:00

I get the idea that Area 75 is much tamer than Area 51...though I guess I don't really know what they do with custodial equipment there.

Simple Bread

2011-06-01T23:59:00.000-06:00

Joanna and I went to a class on making sourdough bread, and we made these little loaves of (normal) bread afterward. I'm looking forward to trying out the sourdough started we got, too.

Board Nails

2011-05-31T23:59:00.002-06:00

As I was walking by a house being remodeled, I spotted this in the back of a truck.

Beans and Gnocchi

2011-05-30T23:59:00.000-06:00

Two of the dishes Joanna and I prepared for dinner tonight. Dinner really turned out quite well.

Novell

2011-05-28T23:59:00.002-06:00

I spotted this sign on my way home tonight. I like the glow and the slight frame provided by the tree branches.

Rainy Picnic

2011-05-27T23:59:00.004-06:00

Joanna and I had a picnic tonight. Unfortunately, it rained briefly a few times. Oh well, one of these days Utah will realize it's supposed to be semi-arid!

Belt Replaced

2011-05-26T23:59:00.002-06:00

The new accessory belt (for the AC compressor and power steering) successfully installed.

Shredded Belt

2011-05-25T23:59:00.004-06:00

I was driving home last Saturday when I heard a very loud whapping sound coming from under the hood. I pulled over and found that this belt (which runs the air conditioner compressor and the power steering pump) was about halfway gone, and the rest didn't look like it was going to hold on for too long. Today I removed what was left of the belt.

Clip Lamp

2011-05-24T23:59:00.002-06:00

I bought this (and one other) to practice lighting small objects, based on the book Light: Science and Magic. I still need to actually do their examples, though.

Bikes

2011-05-23T23:59:00.000-06:00

I biked to campus today, but had to leave my bike there when it rained later on.

Skateboarding + Timpanogos

2011-05-22T23:59:00.001-06:00

I went for a short walk today, looking for a good shot, and noticed the curves of this road. I started shooting, and as I was doing so first a truck came by, and then this guy on a skateboard. He was unexpected, but is a nice addition to what would have otherwise been a fairly empty shot of Mount Timpanogos and a road!

Creme Brulee French Toast

2011-05-21T23:59:00.007-06:00

I made crème brûlée French toast, and it was quite tasty! Much better fresh than later, though. The caramel on top dissolves into the French toast if you don't eat it soon after making it. (Also, you probably can't tell from this shot, but that's the challah I made yesterday.)

Challah

2011-05-20T23:59:00.001-06:00

I love making challah. It's so pretty! (Not to mention it tastes good.)

ESC and NICB

2011-05-19T23:59:00.000-06:00

Between the Eyring Science Center and the Nicholes Building.

Evergreen Cone

2011-05-18T23:59:00.004-06:00

I spotted this after it rained today.

Downfall

2011-05-17T23:59:00.000-06:00

I eat far too many of these when I have a bag laying around.

Three Bananas

2011-05-16T23:59:00.000-06:00

Playing with shadows. Joanna and I made banana ice cream today (from other bananas); all you do is freeze the bananas, and then puree them. It's surprisingly good.

VW Bug

2011-05-15T23:59:00.000-06:00

Stylish.

Squaw Peak

2011-05-14T23:59:00.001-06:00

Joanna and I hiked Squaw Peak today, and I took this panorama at the top just as it was starting to rain. I loved the hike, but the weather could've been slightly better! (This photo looks a bit better in person, but oh well. It looked even better from the top!)

Crispy Potato Roast

2011-05-13T23:59:00.007-06:00

I made crispy potato roast for dinner, and thought it turned out quite nicely! A mandoline is a wonderful thing...

Train

2011-05-12T23:59:00.003-06:00

Today was fun; I ended up crossing a train bridge at twilight, and stopped to take a few shots. I liked this one best.

South of Campus

2011-05-11T23:59:00.000-06:00

This is the view from the top floor of the JSB, looking south.
