It’s 5:42 AM and I can’t sleep, so I guess I’ll do a post.\u00a0 Today’s the first day at work in the new building.\u00a0 Not sure if we’ll have Internet access, so there may not be a lunchtime post… maybe a quick one from the WordPress app on my phone.<\/p>\n
Question for Mac owners:\u00a0 What’s the best program to use to download a large number of images from my camera, batch resize them to 1600 x 1200, and view and edit them (for minor changes like rotate 90 degrees, adjust hue\/saturation\/lightness, etc.)?\u00a0 iPhoto is the default but if there’s a batch resize option in there, I don’t see it.\u00a0 For large photo galleries like Hot Wing Fest, I use the netbook where I have Windows tools I’m familiar with, but I’d rather do it on my MacBook.\u00a0 If you have suggestions, shoot ’em to paul@paulryburn.com.<\/p>\n
I still have more pics to post, but I need to wait until some of the current photo posts age and fall off the blog’s front page… there are well over 30 pics on it right now, last I checked.\u00a0 I have a pic of Danny drinking a beer with his twin, and I have a couple of new pics of Brick.\u00a0 There can never be too much Brick on this blog.<\/p>\n
Other than BBQ Fest, this weekend that just ended is probably my favorite festival weekend of the year.\u00a0 Weather was perfect.\u00a0 Good weather for the first rooftop party, Hot Wing Fest, and Crawfish Fest?\u00a0 When’s the last time that happened?\u00a0 Think we’ll have good weather for Music Fest too?\u00a0 Coming up next weekend – Memphis Brewfest and Beale Street Wine Race.\u00a0 Two more very good spring events.\u00a0 Neither is food-based so we’ll probably see a little less of the Nuh-Uh Girl this weekend.<\/p>\n
Attn pro wrestling fans:\u00a0 May be an interesting night to turn on WWE Monday Night Raw.\u00a0 Both the RAW and Smackdown rosters toured Europe last week.\u00a0 Due to the volcano in Iceland shutting down many European airports, the RAW crew will almost certainly be stranded and not able to make it to New Jersey for this week’s show.\u00a0 The Smackdown crew may be able to catch a flight out of Madrid, and make it to the U.S. in time to cover for the RAW crew.\u00a0 They may beam interviews from the RAW crew out of Europe via satellite.\u00a0 First time they’ve ever had this big of a travel snafu.<\/p>\n
Wow I’ve been messing around on the computer for an hour and I still have 30 minutes before I leave for work… even had time to play two Super Turbo Sit’n’Go tournaments on Full Tilt as I typed this.\u00a0 Finished in 8th place out of 9 in the first, and I won the second, so I showed a small profit for my time playing.\u00a0 Guess I’ll hit Publish and see what else I can find to do until it’s time to leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
