Flock

2007-11-02T10:51:00.000-05:00

I started using Flock as a web browser today. It is like Firefox with drag and drop social media capabilities. Having a wide screen monitor allows me to have more going on at one time. Fortunately my “friends” list is really small. My feeds are numerous though.

I had a really fun time getting to know Tabetha Haugen last weekend. Normally shy and subordinate to her older sister, she came out of her shell

Marine sponge glass skeleton

2006-06-19T21:02:00.000-05:00

This is to test how large a photo file is when exported from picasa to blogger via the "blog this" button.

The result is 320X240px (23KB) and if clicked on it opens in another window as 640X480px (96KB). The original was 2048x1536px and 1,400KB!

Science Museum of Minnesota Buzz Blog

2006-06-04T21:30:00.000-05:00

I am being paid to create content and moderate comments on the Science Museum of Minnesota's Buzz Blog. What a sweet job. I can even do everything from my home computer. This page tracks posts by ARTiFactor. The front page of Buzz has links to daily feeds from their current science RSS aggregator. Readers can also ask scientists questions about doing science. One, Kristi Curry Rogers, Curator of Paleontology at the Science Museum, answers questions about giant dinosaurs in Madagascar.

Armadillo new to Como Park

2005-12-06T11:05:00.000-06:00

I have four photos of this new armadillo shown at the Como Park Holiday celebration thrown for its volunteers. Only one loaded when I clicked "blog this" when the tray had all four. I guess I will edit them in later.

Tagu Lizard

This is a new Tagu lizard at Como Park they call Mr. T. He is part of the education collection. He acted real good for only his second time on display.

Bryce Canyon

I have some very large panoramic photos I stitched together. I wonder how large a resolution Blogger will accept. One is over 4000 pixels wide. What would the thumbnail look like. So far I am happy with how blogger photo insetion is working (it just works).

I saw these guys watching over Goblin Valley in Utah. I am experimenting withe the photo insert feature in blogger by using the "blog it" feature in Picasa 2.1. I just updated last night.

Orchid urinal

2005-12-05T07:22:00.000-06:00

I saw this urinal for sale and thought it would be perfect at the Como Park conservatory, noted for their orchid collection. Too bad it cost more than a grand. It is custom made.

My brother Larry Oglesby is exploring the idea of creating a website. I tried to tell him about blogger. His buisiness is called Oglesby's Photographic Arts. I found a reference to him in search
