I haven’t had time to edit all of the photo’s yet, but here are a few good ones that I grabbed last weekend during Nathan’s final game of the season.

Jott rocks! You’ve got to try this free service

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Go to Jott, set up a free account (only takes a minute), add their toll free number to the speed dial of your mobile phone. 

Next time you need to remember to do something, you hit the Jott speed dial number and leave yourself a message.  The Jott service converts your speech to text and sends you an email or SMS message with the text (as well as a recording of your original message).  In addition, the Jott website keeps all of your Jott’s listed and you can organize them. 

But wait, there’s more.  You can import your contacts, so that you can Jott other people too.  And the icing is that this is a local Seattle company started by a couple of ex-Microsoft folks and the current plan is to keep the service free (using Ad funding or premium service model). 

I hope these guys shoot the moon with this product.

Full moon over Seattle May 31st 2007

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I met up with my sister and some friends from work last night at Kerry Park in Seattle to watch and photograph the full moon rising over Seattle. 

I snapped this shot when I arrived at around 9:00 PM.  Click on the picture for the full resolution photo.

I also took this panorama while waiting for the moon to appear.

Here’s a shot of the moon which finally appeared as it was approach 10:00 PM.

and one last wider angle shot.

Next time I’ll have to bring one of my telephoto’s so I can grab a few tight shots of the moon in focus with the needle.  These were all taken with my wide angle 17-55mm and my Nikon D2x.    

One last dip at the Destin beach before flying back to Seattle

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Our flight back to Seattle on Thursday didn’t leave until 6:00 PM, so we took the opportunity to spend the morning at the beach before packing up for our journey home. 

We had an amazing time and want to thank everyone for contributing to the great memories we now have.  And to think it’s not even Summer time yet ;-)

Erin was excited to get some shots of me spinning Cole, but he would only allow mommy to do it :-(   Love the results though!

I think Nathan might end up being a runner.  He’s sure built like one!

Here’s a shot of Erin taking advantage of the larger than usual surf.
