Mariposa

Thursday, April 29, 2010
My love does wonderful work. She runs Mariposa of Austin. I developed her web site but only took some of the pictures. I don't think of much of the darker ones and need to replace them.

The butterflies may be the art of nature but she manages to make them look alive. As she expands to groupings her natural artistic ability and eye will come out more and more. This is a photograph of one of her butterflies that I staged and took. More can be seen at her site.

New Plans

Tuesday, April 27, 2010
We have settled into our new home and getting Deanie's studio set up in the garage. The last Saturday was spent painting and cleaning up the garage. It was really needed as she gets ready for The Old Pecan Street Festival.


Now that is done mostly I am starting to get a little ansiy about setting up a computer strong enough to do my graphics work. This old Dell Inspirion E1505 doesn't really have the horsepower. (notebook review is kinda of a annoying site with it's popups, etc.) I plan on wiping out the Operating System(s) on this laptop and install the new Ubuntu when it comes out at the end of the month.

I want the new workstation to duel boot Ubuntu and Microsoft Windows.
