Paintball
Played paintball for the first time since my law enforcement days on Thursday night at Boston Paintball – great indoor facility.
Was an absolute blast – one of the best things I’ve ever done.
Sketches in Photoshop
Finally getting around to learning a bit about Photoshop – had it for nearly a year on the desktop and laptop, hardly ever used it.
Thanks to an article in Mac Design Online I learned today how to turn photographs into sketches and cartoons. Very neat!
Tried doing this with some different photographs and such – seems to not work too well with images of people, so tried one of the house from summer 2002 – worked great. Enjoy!
Go Navy, Beat Army
he Navy Midshipmen will take on the Black Knights of Army this afternoon at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field (68,532) in the 104th playing of the Army-Navy game. Kickoff is set for 4:20 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally by CBS-TV and Westwood One Radio starting at 4 p.m.
The Mids enter today’s game with a lot to play for as Navy will take home the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 1981 with a victory over the Black Knights.
Navy is coming off a 63-34 shellacking of Central Michigan that saw the Mids run up 644 yards of total offense, including 530 yards on the ground. Army is coming off a 59-28 loss at Hawai’i. [Navy Sports]
Slow Blogging
Things around here have just been a bit slow on the blogging front.
Working a professional life in retail doesn’t give one alot of free time between November and January. Will try to catch up today.
A huge snow storm blanketing Massachusetts right now so I certainly won’t be doing much this weekend – a chance to clean up, finish decorating the tree, fiddle around on the computers, and do some cleaning.
Family arriving in a few weeks as well!
As for now, sipping some Decaf English Breakfast Tea and enjoying watching Galadriel monitor the snowplow progress.
It’s Snowing.
The front edge of a lumbering winter storm spread across Massachusetts on Friday night, as communities braced for a foot of snow or more through Sunday and the possibility of coastal flooding.
[…]
Forecasters said the system threatened to deliver up to two feet of snow while wind gusts of up to 50 mph could cause tidal surges and coastal flooding.
“We’re all set,” said Richard Christiano of Lexington, Mass. “I just bought 100 pounds of ice melt and we took out our snow shovels last night. We’ll be getting a good night’s sleep and getting ready for some shoveling.” [Boston Globe]
Assistant US Attorney Killed
What a horrible tragedy… I would not want to be the person or persons that did this – the FBI is going to tear that town up to solve this.
Rest in Peace, Jonathan.
Federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna was stabbed 36 times in a furious fight for his life before drowning in a Pennsylvania creek, investigators said Friday as they worked to reconstruct his final hours.[MSNBC.
