Panorama Sparks Nevada Marina 89434 USA December 2008, originally uploaded by yodamon.See the Original Size (14,000 pixels)

The morning I was taking pictures with Santa and the dogs for Scraps Dog Bakery I noticed that the Sparks Marina had a nice look to it. The light was good so I made a panorama. I did have to shorten it because the far image to the left had a stitching issue and the shore line didn't mate the other images. I really didn't loose too much and still have a wonderful panorama.

My wife's mom, Jeanine Haberman (Meyer) found this photo when looking through her fathers (Harry Meyer) things, Harry is Indy 500 winner Lou Meyer's brother. This is a photo of four Indy 500 drivers an two unknown people.

Santa (Ryan Enwald) was taking care of all the dogs at the Sparks Marina today. I took over 220 photos and saw lots of old friends. All in all a great day plus 2 donuts.

These little rows of green lights seem to run my life as of late. 2x12 the Enterprise Manager stamps them out. All the while humming with the green glow.

I took this panorama the other day on a lunch drive from work and forgot to put it up. This is up the Mt Rose highway, SR431, across from the Montreux golf course. It turned out to be a nice day for the drive/photo.

I have been looking at Adobe Flex/AIR as a cross platform application delivery/hosting environment. The thing that I like the most is the ability to put my applications in front of Windows and Apple users. I come from a Microsoft development environment and some of the methods Flex/AIR uses for UI, database, security don't sit well. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft has its issues as well, I'm just used to them and I am now trying to look beyond.
