There’s nothing like a trip to Whataburger. Here’s the battle damage that the force of Daughter 1 and I can inflict on an unsuspecting order of fries. I love me some Whataburger.

Blooming Wildflowers…Almost

wildflowers.jpgHere’s another shot from our walk in San Felasco last week. There were a lot of flowers already in bloom, but the anticipation of this bunch seemed a little more interesting, especially against the backdrop of the sky.

Still working on the header graphic, but I think the other little bugs have been worked out of the site. The busted comment form is now fixed (thanks to a quick copy/paste) and the formatting is a lot smoother. I also added a post archive to complement the photo archive, giving the text some much-needed exposure. (Exposure. I made a funny.)

A New Look and a New Phone

7 Comments | This entry was posted on Oct 27 2008

Welcome to the next incarnation of My GPS Camera Phone! I’ve got a new template (edited just a bit from the original) thanks to Jai at Blog Oh! Blog, and a new phone thanks to Nokia Productions.

I decided to go back to a dark theme in an effort to place more emphasis on the photos, since most of the posts these days are short on words. The theme is still in need of some tweaking, particularly on the single post pages, but it’s coming along well. You’ve probably noticed the missing header also – I’m working on it.

As for the new phone, well, it was a total surprise, to say the least. I received a package last week addressed to me from a place I didn’t recognize. Long story short: I entered some pictures and video footage in the Nokia Productions promotion for the 5310 XpressMusic, which also happens to be a phone I reviewed. After the promotion wrapped up, I gave it no more thought and carried on with life as usual. Much to my surprise, I had won a daily prize drawing.

Inside the package was a brand new, unlocked Nokia 5310 Xpress Music (purple), a really awesome Bluetooth headset/headphones and a card for some music downloads (which didn’t work, but whatever). All the accessories were included as well, encased in a cool film reel can. While the camera is average, the mp3 player rocks. So I’ll be using it to listen to music and snap photos alongside the trusty Casio G’zOne. Many thanks to Nokia Productions!

If you want to see the final version of the movie for the promotion, check it out here (once it loads, go to “watch” and “the film”). Fellow blogger Drew was a winner and got to fly to LA for the premier. Stop by and say hello if you can.

Anyway, it’s been a good week and I’m looking to make this site even better in the months to come. How? Well, I’m not sure yet, but I am optimistic that something good will happen. Enjoy the new site!

The Bloom That Was Not

This rail is just outside the side door of the place I work. I pass it every afternoon on my way to the parking lot. When I noticed the morning glories taking over the entire area, I was thrilled because the photo opportunities were going to be great. Unfortunately, the building maintenance crew decided otherwise.

Today, the morning glories are dead vines that will not bloom. The worst part is that they didn’t even bother to remove them after spraying with weed killer. At least I have this one. Maybe next year.
