Maker's Faire Austin


Andrew and I made it to the Maker's Faire last weekend. Crazy stuff, but very cool. It's put on by Make Magazine, kind of a hacker's tech guide. Some of the stuff is over my head, like two guys who were trying to get people to sign up to help us get a moonbase up and running asap. Andrew and I slowly backed away from that table. Everything from fire displays, to fish and lobster covered cars, to a lifesize Mousetrap game. Fun times.

Enchanted Rock


We finally got out to Enchanted Rock this past weekend. The place is beautiful, and a fairly easy hike up to the top. Really good views of Texas from up there. Since I couldn't find our camera to take with us, I've located shots on Flickr that I'll substitute here. Just imagine us in the shots instead of these complete strangers.




Picture Stacy and I here instead of this couple. We were at least as excited as they seem here.




Picture Cole on the left, minus about 150 lbs (hopefully with a shirt), and Andrew on the right (shirt preferable also). These guys probably have the same personalities as the boys.




I could've taken this shot.



I also could've taken a shot like this, to which Stacy would've replied, "Take pictures of us, not random stuff like that!" Actually, upon further reflection, the shot would've been of something more random like a weird crack on a rock or a lizard's butt.

Our new pad



The dust has settled after our move to the new apartment. We've shrunk down from almost 3000 sq. ft. to 1200, but it's really nice. A lot closer to work downtown and church, so that helps a lot. Will post shots now that we've found the camera.
