Here is some of the music I am listening to right now. A little new and a little old. Beastie Boys just never get old, while I really think that TV on the Radio is the best band you've never heard of. Check out Phoenix for something new. Their music is great in the car on long rides.

I just got back from a vacation to Colorado with my friend Ben. We set out to climb a 14,000 foot mountain called Shavano, but the weather stopped us at 13,800 feet. However, we had a great time and I took a lot of pictures. This is a sneak peak and also my favorite because a fished jumped out of the water just as I started taking pictures. What are the odds?

Laura and I took a vacation to San Francisco recently and enjoyed the cool weather. Going from 100 degrees to 70 degrees was very very welcome. Cowtown to Chinatown was also a huge welcome. I haven't had Dim Sum since I studied abroad in Hong Kong.
San Francisco was a blast and we tried to do as much as we could, but I think my favorite moments were the ones just sitting on a bench and looking at the ocean. The Trinity River here in Dallas isn't quite as cool. Breathtaking in a horrible way...yes; cool...no.
Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there:
Laura and were waiting for a trolley and I saw this out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't believe it and like a prowling panther with my Nikon camera I snuck up and took the picture. Well, not quite like that, but I did do a little sneaking to get close enough and not alert the guy.
This is a jellyfish at the aquarium. Very cool.
This is the Palace of Fine Arts. This is where Sean Connery is captured after that huge car chase in "The Rock" that derails a trolley.
Palace of Fine Arts again.
Laura and I stood there for something like half an hour waiting for that trolley to come down to the place where had to be to get on it. They only run so often. Great opportunity to start taking pictures.
A rooftop at Alcatraz.

An intersection in San Francisco where all the wires for the trolleys become a big spaghetti bowl. The guy that installed all of this and kept it all straight must have been really smart.
I like the name of the store, but I would have chosen a different font.
Alley in Chinatown.
A building in Chinatown.
A street in Chinatown.

That same building at night now. I like this one more than the daytime one.
Muir Woods. This the tallest species of tree in the world. They get as high as 400 feet. Their close cousins are known for getting really wide trunks and are the more famous trees at Sequoia National Park.

I was checking my Facebook today and I saw something that looked really fun so I went kind of crazy with it. Now, I usually don't do these kinds of things that you pass on to other people, but I had to do this one.
It was started by Jason Domingues, a photographer out of Kansas City. Basically, you take a random photo from Flickr, then you use a random topic from Wikipedia as the band name, and the last few words of a random quote as the record title. You use these three things to design a record cover. It works really well and it's kind of fun to do if you have some time that you just really want to waste.
Here are a few that I designed:

Hans. Your Tahoe engagement photos (above) are great. I'll try to rustle up some Waco business for you.
