Office Space, originally uploaded by Photo-Mojo.

A few people may remember that I lost my job at the beginning of the year and found a better job shortly after that. Well, last week I found out that me and more than a few others were put on the cut list with the last day being August 15 (today).
But before that happened, I was able to have an internal transfer into another division. So tomorrow I am starting fresh and moving back across the street to the main building overlooking Inverness Lake.
So I am starting on my 3rd position this year in 2 different buildings. Craziness. At least I didn’t get laid off a month before the baby arrives. I have given thanks many times for this.

What do you have to be thankful for today?

Here are a few of my photos from the annual Mudbowl ultimate disc tournament held at George Ward park on Saturday, Aug. 11.  For more information on the BUDA league, click here.

 Temperatures are expected to once again breach the century mark today, tomorrow and beyond. This, coupled with the fact that there has been precious little rain this year is certainly not helping matters down here in Birmingham. I have 3 bottles of water at my desk and they will be gone by quittin’ time. It goes without saying but I will anyway: keep cool!

Wonderwife is really enjoying this during her 34th week into pregnancy!

 Join me and some really great photographers this Friday night (8/10) as we walk/talk/shoot around the streets of downtown Birmingham. We’ll meet up at the Metro Bistro and finish up there as well to um, quench our collective thirsts. The event is free and all photogs/friends are welcome to join in.
Let us know you if you are joining us or just interested in by clicking here!

The Terminal, a new city blog is throwing a launch party at the Bottletree on August 29th. The station manager, Andre is also the host to once again, the Happy Hour For A Cause in which Terminal readers votes on the charity in lieu of birthday gifts for himself. Yes, it is Andre’s birthday the same night but he is such a darned humble guy, he insists we give to the cause instead! Bring your old & busted mobile phones to donate for another good cause as well. Yeah, buddy it looks like it is going to be a great time. A great news source, a great venue, drinks, sexy members of the opposite sex, birthdays, charities and a great guy. And if you do not have the Terminal in your daily reading plan, why not?

Yes, technically I am posting this on Thursday night but the majority of you (2) will probably watch this on Friday. A fun instructional on Faceball. A bit like dodgeball but you can’t really…dodge. Um, yeah…anyway..click to view.

XAML is a declarative XML-based language that defines objects and their properties in XML. One of the focuses of the XAML syntax is defining the user interface for both the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight. It is therefore separate from the application code behind it and facilitates separation of design and development. XAML also allows for better cooperation between the developer and the designer in a way that has not been available with previous technologies. XAML is not just used for display technologies such as WPF and Silverlight. It is also used by other .Net technologies such as Windows Workflow (WF). This session will give you an introduction to XAML, the tools used to work with XAML, and how it relates to the technologies that rely on it.

Lunch will be provided by McWane Center for an additional cost. You may order a lunch from McWane for $10 or bring your own. The cut-off for ordering a lunch is Tuesday, July 31 at noon.

Parking is free in the McWane Center parking deck. Enter via the Special Events Center entrance, which is located in the northeast corner of Level C. Reserve your spot now!

I picked up a sinus infection this weekend that could be developing into strep throat. Also just found out that I may have high blood pressure. If I can lose 15 pounds in 3 months, I won’t need medication. Lets hear some support, people!

Nice Parking, Bud!, originally uploaded by Photo-Mojo.

A real website where you can upload mobile photos when you see a car parked poorly. Leave the cutout under their windshield. Hysterical.
