I have uploaded images from my trips to The Wave (Coyote Buttes AZ) and San Francisco CA.
Well, Christmas 2011 has come and gone and hopefully we are all still here. I should have pics up from that and a few other things in the next few days. One has to love the benefits of vacation time. Till then, I shall share with you what exactly 22 pounds of skittles looks like… [...]
It has taken me forever to get the images up, but I have finally uploaded the pictures from the last upgrade I did on my system. I say upgrade though it should really be called a complete build. Only thing to remain was the case and the hard drives. Hopefully some one will find the [...]
