First There Was Winter

A New Year

We very gently rolled into 2010 in Texas while visiting family. Sparklers, champagne, board games and belated Christmas present exchanges got us in the spirit. New Year's Day was sparkly and bright; a good day for contemplation and plans, talk of projects and where the year might take us.

Multimedia, Baby!

In John's class last week we were instructed to go out into the world and gather images and sounds for a photo story. After a rather unsuccessful attempt in downtown Asheboro, Jessica Benton and I headed to the NC Zoo where, lo and behold, we found all of our classmates doing the very same thing. We then had to throw it all together using Soundslides and Audacity and post it within a few hours. Here are the results.
