Adventures in 3D and D.C.

Oh spring, how I’ve missed you! We finally see warm weather, even being warmed by the sun. The Crocus blooms in the back yard, and my dog decided it’s a great time to shed. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see the snow and ice gone. Updates to my life include self-learning …

Fun with phone upgrades

After months of reading and comparing, I finally upgraded my phone from an iPhone 4S to a Windows Lumia 830. Frankly, I considered sticking with the iPhone but the camera sucks and the battery sucks even more. The other day I had a full charge and by noon, I had to use my portable charger. …

Autumn along the C&O, and the Iphone 4S

The other day, my Wiccan meetup took a hike along the C&O Canal. The leaves are in their full glory, and it makes for such a nice walk. Its even ground. People you meet are so often friendly with a smile and hello, and you can see quite a bit of wildlife thriving down there …
