I spent about an hour on Friday walking around mostly east campus taking some HDR shots.
Most of these shots were taken from the west stands of Bobby Dodd Stadium and the surrounding area.
You can view the entire set (70 HDRs), and the non-HDR image on my flickr page.
I’ve been working with Photoshop and a little on Illustrator recently learning how to make graphics. You can see some of my latest wallpapers, all Orange Bowl themed, in the North Avenue Bulletin.
So far the hardest thing for me to grasp had been the magnificent pen tool.
I had heard of its power but it wasn’t until I recognized the importance of the “convert point tool” that the light bulb came on.
The tutorial that helped me understand can be found by clicking on the penguin.
I’m looking for the next challenge to tackle on this Photoshop/Design game. If you have any projects you’d like me to try let me know. I’ll make wallpapers, posters, logos, etc.
The season kicks off with Fresno State vs. Wyoming, followed by Rutgers vs. UCF.
The first game should be an easy win for Fresno State with the help of a strong effort by the nation’s leading running back Ryan Matthews (151.3 ypg).
The second game will be much more competitive. I think UCF will have the lead for part of this contest, but Rutgers comes out victorious at the end.
I received this message from maintenance:
“Checked water and ice machine there is know visible signs of any thing that would cause problems.the water is coming out clear and it has a aerator to restrict any thing from coming into the tap.Refering this to mechanical shop for to also look at.9-30-9 1-01-09 services call from bernard washington,to check ice machine,removed cover with the assistan from M2,ice machine was service and clean,inspected the water filter,filter in good condition install 8-09,and carry a 12 months exp.”
Feel free to keep drinking the water in the kitchen.

My first seven blog posts will be lists of 7 ranking some of my favorite things at Tech. Each day I will post a new list. I have some topics in mind, but if there is a specific list you’d like to see, let me know on the comments box.
1. My top 7 classes at Tech so far
3. 7 things I always carry with me on campus
3-7. TBA
7- Pen & Paper
You never know when you’ll get a great idea, but if you have a pen and a notebook, you’ll have somewhere to save that thought until you need it again.
6- Something to read
Whether I’m waiting for a Stinger bus, my class to start, or just waiting in line, I always have something to do by reading one of the magazines I keep on me in my sack pack (see 5). On Fridays, when the Technique comes out, I’ll pick that up to stay up to date on campus news.
5- My Sack Pack
This Under Armor brand sack pack has come in handy and proved quite durable. I carry it with me whenever I don’t have my laptop book bag with me. I need somewhere to put all that reading material, and textbooks of course.
4- A Camera
The notebook helps me remember ideas, but the camera lets me capture moments (on video or photo) that occur spontaneously on campus. I also use it in places like the library where I can take a picture of the call # of the book I’m looking for, then view the photo when I’m actually in front of the book rack. 99% of the time, taking a picture of the call # is faster than writing it down.
3- My Cell Phone
I’d estimate about 90% of students on campus have a cell phone. Out of that 90%, 60% has either unlimited or a high number of pre-paid text messages. Texting is a popular way of communicating with class group members and friends on campus.
2- My Room Keys
A few buildings (Hefner & Armstrong for the Freshman Experience) already have RFID Buzz Card entry systems installed in their residence halls which allow their residents to enter the building without using a key. That isn’t the case for me in Fitten. I learned early on that you can’t afford to lose your keys. The fee for having your key replaced is somewhere in the $75 range!
Most rooms on campus require the resident to open 2 locked doors before reaching your own room door. Fitten has 3 locked doors before reaching my room door, so if I do forget my key that would be lots of waiting around for someone to let me in.
1- My Buzz Card
You don’t need your Buzz Card, unless you plan on:
So basically, your Buzz Card is an essential item. Never leave your room without it.
