So, there I am looking at my website stats and I see a search term that someone landed on my website using and I had to smile.
Day one is in the bag at another Thunder Lizard production. This makes my third web conference and this one seems to be the best… maybe because it is in my backyard being in Chicago, who knows. But one thing I can tell you, the food has been fantastic.
On Tuesday, my Viva 250cc scooter arrived and thus began my scooter life. I just couldn’t deal with the price of gas going up and up and decided to do something about it… ok, something FUN about it.
Back when the lockout of the NHL had all hockey lovers chomping at the bit for its return, the one message that Gary and crew talked about in the “NEW” NHL was parity. Every team would be on a level playing field and no one team would be able to dominate. The idea was to keep the teams closer so at the end of the year there wouldn’t be a lopsided run in the finals.
Well, let’s all take note. Of the 8 different series in round 1, here is how even they were:

Today I passed my Minnesota motorcycle permit test so I can ride my scooter legally… did I mention that I am getting a scooter? Silly me. Well, I am. The price of gas has gotten out of hand and this is one simple way to cut down on the amount I use for daily commuting and running errands.
I say today I passed because yesterday I failed. Yup, I blew it big time. I did go over the manual and skimmed the pages thinking it would be a cake walk, but I found out just how much I didn’t know after getting only 29 right out of 40 (you could only miss 8 to pass).
The web is a curious thing. Post or links that have been long forgotten seem to spring to life at certain times of the year, or so it seems.
In springtime, the rekindled love of infrared photography blooms and the masses search out content in droves to satisfy this need.
I love Minnesota. I must, I’ve moved back here three different times. After trying the west coast and even Montana, I return to my roots and where I was raised, to home.
But, when March comes around, I don’t want to see snow anymore. None. Zero. So what happened today?
Ok, I have never done this before, so what the heck. I am going to give away 1 hour of free photography to the first person who guesses what the heck this widget is…
Audit me once, shame on me. Audit me twice…and I’m just one unlucky sap!
Yup, that was the scene over at Cory Shubert Photography in 2006. First, an audit by the IRS looking into my business accounting practices. They found many little things to tag me with and after 4 months of back and forth we settled. I must say, while I wasn’t happy having to pay out, it did bring to light some issues that needed to be corrected and others that I might have continued to let slide had they not been caught. So, I was done, right?
Well, that sounds a little crass, but I mean that they have a pretty neat job. The part about bringing babies into the world that is. As a father of two, I know of what I speak. Seeing that bundle of life emerge and the begining of this journey of life, well, that is a pretty specail thing.
