Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

Don’t Bug Me

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Posted by Exer on Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]

I Viewed What?

Posted by Exer on Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Sometimes I think the Amazon.com “Recommended Products” list is on crack or something. I do 90% of my online shopping on that site, so I look at a ton of stuff. But I know the sort of things I look at, and it is constantly telling me that I’ve looked at things that I know I didn’t look at. Then it has the nerve to give me recommendations of other items it thinks I’d like based on the stuff I never wanted in the first place! It will have all the normal junk I look at (books, books, cameras, leather cases, mp3 players, books, etc etc) then all of a sudden it will sneak something in, like a Nerf Gun, or a Princess Barbie.

What the…? It would make a little more sense if I shared my computer or Amazon account with other people, but I don’t, and the only person who has ever been on my computer is my brother. And he’s 18, so if he’s looking at Princess Barbie I guess I have more serious issues to think about than my browsing history, just sayin’.

Yeah I have noticed that whenever I buy you something off your wish list I get your type of Recommended Products LOL Which isn’t such a bad thing for me because there have been a few times I have com across something I know you would like and its more of a surprise LOL

Oh man, I already see my breath in the air outside. How depressing. 3 weeks ago
