Romey's Ramblings

I managed to get my 12 pictures taken for the 12th of May.  You can find the (which includes the full-sized pictures) on my Flickr! site.  Check them out below (also, be sure to check out (my girlfriend) Bethany’s 12 on 12th)

I began the day by working at my home-office, on one of my many teleconferences.

Driving to down-town Fort Collins to have lunch with my girlfriend Bethany.

I then drove down to Lafayette, Colorado to go see my God-daughter and her family. (Driving on I-25)

This is my God-daughter, Sophia. She is playing with a coffee cup here

We fired up my laptop while I was visiting and Sophie saw my desktop background (which is a picture of Sophie and I)

Driving home on I-25

Bethany and I got together for some dessert at Whole Foods (I really didn’t put all of that in my mouth)

And a day wouldn’t be complete without spending some time in Second Life…

That should do it for May!  If you are interested in seeing more 12 on 12th check out the Daily Breakfast Forum.

Here we are a day away from May 12th, and another installment of 12 on the 12th! I got this idea by listening to Fr. Roderick on the Daily Breakfast Podcast. On the 12th of each month, participants are invited to bring their digital camera with them throughout the day and take 12 pictures. At the end of the day post the pictures to your blog or a Flickr! account to share with others. The hope is that you’ll give others a glimpse of your typical day through the pictures you take. I started doing this last month and am anxious to do this for the second time. Taking the pictures was a blast, and I had a lot of fun viewing them as well.

For those who are interested, it’s a simple matter of doing the above. If you’d like to share your pictures with Daily Breakfast listeners, post the link to your Flickr! area on the Daily Breakfast Forum. If you’d like to see my 12 on the 12th for April, check out my posting.

I hope to see your pictures on the 12th!

Check out this Tonight Show spoof about the Pope receiving his iPod – hilarious!

Check it out

A few days ago a co-worker of mine stumbled upon some pretty funny settings in Google. In Google, if you click on "Preferences" there’s a drop-down box for "Interface Language". Check out the languages listed. You’ll see virtually almost every language of the world there, but you’ll also find some beyond our world. Here are a few funny ones that I found.

Elmer Fudd (quite annoying)

Hacker (be careful with this one, when you try to change it back the drop down entries are written in hacker)

And yes, Klingon – my favorite!

So yes, you can now search for Wabbits in Klingon! Gotta love Google!
