Mowed The Lawn
Woo hoo, I mowed the lawn! Fantastic, right? Well it kind of is, for me at least. This is the first time that I've ever mowed our entire lawn. I mowed the front yard and back yard (which is normal) as well as the side yard and our lower back yard. Those are areas that …

The Dark Side of Flickr
I started using Flickr this weekend. I was hoping that it could replace my gallery functionality and help show my photos to a larger audience.
