My 8-year-old son spent all week at football camp. He had some fun and got a t-shirt. But I also got to have my kind of fun too. I shot photos on two days of the camp and put together a little photo video for the kids to see today. The coach made copies for [...]
Here’s another edition of Cool Links. Couldn’t think up a cute name for this one.
1 – This one is an interesting image search that looks for images that are under CC (creative commons) license on Flickr called Compfight.
2 – I’ve been looking for this forever, and like Daniel in Karate Kid, my wife found it [...]

One is a senior at North Texas studying graphic design and film, one is a junior who just finished as the editor at her junior college newspaper and will be studying journalism at Texas State, and the other three will be [...]
This is my 50th Cool Links post and I’m bearing down on 500 total posts on my blog. That is very cool.

2 – Apparently the fight between some corporate [...]
The grand statesman of journalism, Walter Cronkite is dead at 92. And the world of journalism is smaller for it.
And it seems ironic with all the attention being placed on the 40 anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings.
He was always giddy as a schoolboy when it came to the space [...]
I’m finally finding motivation to get stuff done, like redo the yearbook and broadcast web sites. It has been great to get motivated. So, I’m passing on some cool stuff to you.
1 – Firefox 3.5 is ready. Whether you use a Mac, Windows or Linux – it is time to upgrade to the best browser [...]
I was born in Claremont, N.H., and my grandparents and many other family members still live there today. I can remember when I was young, watching my grandfather read the newspaper. He got two, the big paper from Manchester – The Union Leader, and the little local daily The Claremont Eagle Times.
