So I should say that Google Maps is, like, the coolest thing ever. I thought it was neat when Gavin first showed it to me, and they have now incorporated satellite photos which is awesome. I can zoom all the way in on my apartment complex! If I was in the pool, you could probably see my little shadow!
Dad left a message on my phone last night (obviously he didn’t realize that he shouldn’t try to call me while I am at Opening Day) and as a result, I should clarify that when I said yesterday that I got into ISU, that does not mean that I got the JSC Fellowship. It just means I got admitted to the degree program. Like getting into college. Which was not really a surprise, because I’m a space professional, and that’s who ISU targets.
Opening Day was great fun, except for a fairly dismal performance from the Astros. Craig Biggio was stellar in his return to second base, and accounted for all three RBIs, but some of his teammates weren’t quite so great. Morgan Ensberg at third was especially shaky, and Roy Oswalt has certainly pitched better games. In the end, the ‘Stros lost 7-3 but on the bright side, baseball is back! It was great to return to the ballpark.
In other assorted news, Carter is in Buenos Aires for a week and I’m jealous. The Yuri’s Night 5K is on Saturday and I still have a ton to do. I’m doing a piece for the second issue of Photoblogs Magazine that has to be done by Friday. I have Kara’s paper that somehow needs to get through Export Control in 48 hours. We have softball tomorrow night, and I haven’t done any sort of exercise in 10 days. Whew.
Jeeze, your photography just keeps getting better! Did you do anything with the color saturation on that shot or is your camera and lens that totally awesome! It was a perfect way to get those two little ones.
Oh, I upped the saturation a bit. I rarely post a photo that I haven’t done basic post-processing on (levels & saturation, same stuff you could do with film in a darkroom). But the colors were pretty bright already — the flat light was perfect for it.
