Hello Family and Friends!

I’ve been pretty busy with the blog since we’ve moved back here to Rexburg, ID from Sandy, UT and I wanted to direct all of you here so that I could give a summary of the activity by presenting the links in bulk.  They all have a story, so be sure to check ‘em out!  So, in order from oldest to most recent, here they are:

HD Video: A Qeirstyn Evening

Hello Family and Friends!

Last week, I presented the first HD video of Qeirstyn in the morning.  Now, I would like to share a little bit of her evening.  It’s a decently long video (7 minutes), so that could be awesome or ho-hum depending on your point of view.  It’s divided into the three different ’stages’ of her nighttime routine:  1.) Dinner, 2.) walk time, and 3.) bath time.  I trimmed out a lot of the video (because otherwise, it would’ve been about 20 minutes long!).  So, enjoy!

Fedora 9: An Artwork Review

Mairin Duffy has outdone herself this round with the artwork she has dedicated to the Fedora 9 project. She, with help from others, has come up with a theme based around the nickname of the release: Sulfur. With a green-tinted block of sulfur and some relaxing waves, the Fedora 9 theme is shaping up to be very nice. The overall scheme of the theme has changed to darker colors since Fedora 8, which seems to be going right along with the trend I’ve been seeing lately. Personally, I enjoy the “darker” colors, but only to an extent. I don’t want to feel like I’m in a pit of depression whenever I login.

In Artwork Round 3, she has made a change to the black/gray/yellow colors from Artwork Round 2 (see image to right) to darker blues and yellows (see image to left). I’m actually disappointed in that decision, but she’s the artist and I’ll let her do her thing. If it were me, I would have kept the grays instead of going with the blues. Undoubtedly, I would still choose this design over any of the others submitted.

There is one other item that I’m concerned about with the artwork this round. That is, it’s themed around a piece of sulfur. I hope that this doesn’t confuse the newcomers into thinking that it’s more than just a nickname. That’s all it is, a nickname. The main focus of Fedora shouldn’t be a block of sulfur, it should probably be just “Fedora - Infinity, Freedom, and Voice“. But, that’s just my humble opinion.

New Hosted Wordpress Blog, New Theme

So, I’ve decided yet again on a new theme now that I’ve moved to my own blog. Don’t worry, you’re still in the right place!

The banner is a picture of a place that should be familiar to my closest friends and family. It’s one I took while up at the divide at the Hildreth Cabin. I wanted to keep it personal!
