Knitting!

I found a great little knitting shop in Virginia Beach today, unfortunately, the owner is retiring and closing the store in March. Very sad...

Luckily though, I got some yarn and new needles to start a new project, a Clapotis shawl for Kris. We'll see how it goes!

Evernote

Wow, sometimes cool things unexpectedly pop onto my radar.  One of those things is Evernote (evernote.com).  It allows you to make notes on their system and then search them.  No big deal, right?  But:

 

You can e-mail notes to you Evernote account.

You can scan documents to your Evernote account (and it will OCR and make them searchable).

You can send pictures (of whiteboards, notes, etc) and it will OCR and make them searchable.

Clip web pages….

 

The list goes on, I’m sure.  After all this data collection you can use it from anywhere!  Your web-enabled device, computer, laptop, work computer, etc.  Simply astounding! 

 

Is this cloud computing?  If so, I like it!

 

I’m off to explore some more of Evernote!

 

Hello! Christmas Eve at my house.

Wow! I haven't blogged in forever! The holidays are rolling right along seemingly far too fast. I remember, when I was a less age-challenged kid it seemed like the holidays took forever to get here, now they just blow right on by....

We just finished our new traditional lasagna dinner. We started this tradition last year for an unknown reason and it worked out so well that we decided to keep it. I love turkey, but that's so... Thanksgiving!

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas!

A used Zamboni?

Did they get this at the used Zamboni dealer?

Local hockey

Yay, local hockey. Wait, where are the players?

It was the night before Thanksgiving....

and I had duty. At least I have the rest of the weekend off.

Sheri is in town and it has been a busy few days. My schedule is off as I shift from that 24 hour at sea work day (not that I work 24 hours, I'm just on call all day) to being at home.

Other than that, things are good and, of course, I'm very thankful to be home for Thanksgiving this year!
