Here's a photo from this year's Great Dane reunion picnic. The event was held on Saturday, 2 Oct 04 in Colorado Springs. George got to meet a bunch of his cousins, and two of his brothers (seen here)! One of them is also named George...(the other George is the one in the middle, our George is the one on the right, the one on the left is named Smokey)...

Tackling The Backyard

2004-10-15T21:48:00.000-07:00

I thought I would show off some of the work we have been doing around the house as of late. While the weather cooperates, we are building a retaining wall in our backyard to cut down the slope and to try and create some privacy. Here are a couple of photos:

Light as a 70lb bag of feathers...

What you don't see is the happy look on my face!

What is a blog?

2004-10-09T17:42:00.000-07:00

A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically — like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly — from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.

Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both.

Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. Use a private blog on an intranet to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary. Set up a family blog where relatives can share personal news. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders.
