My trip to Blue Heaven

Most people who know me, know of my (somewhat irrational) love of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

I had a grade school friend, back in my Rutland Elementary Days, who moved to South Dakota from North Carolina.  And I kind of picked up cheering for the Tar Heels from him.  Or because of him.  Something like that.

I have stuck with them ever since.  And although I would cheer for my Jackrabbits if they played them, UNC is my favorite of the "major college" teams.

I was able to visit briefly a few years ago, as my niece Graduated from UNC, and although I got to see some things, it was a rushed and busy weekend (flew in Friday, Left Monday morning...and a graduation and 2 receptions attended).

This time... My wife was signed up to take a class right there in Chapel Hill, so I had a room and everything, just had to purchase airfare and meals.  So I decided to ride along, and take in the Campus, and of course the BB program.

Anyway, here are some...Most of the pictures from my trip.  Hope you enjoy!

Cool Video: One Second a Day

I saw this video posted on the internet today, and thought "Wow, what a cool idea!"

A young lady, a senior at the University of North Carolina, took a one second video clip of every day of her Senior Year at UNC.

I really enjoyed this.

If you are interested in reading her thought process behind the project... She wrote an explanation at this LINK.

These are the neat kind of things we can do with technology...but we need to unleash ourselves and do something creative.

So Cool! Stream from International Space Station

NASA has attached HD Cameras to the outside of the International Space Station.

They stream it live 24 hours a day.

Here is the LINK.

Just a sample of the live feed from the space station.

Neat Picture!

I saw this picture on Google Plus this morning, and it just made me want to jump right into the photo and start running down that road!

I love this!

This makes me want to run.

Alternate Browsers - Installation

Because of the Security Flaw in Internet Explorer, it has been recommended across the board, that anyone using the Internet use an "alternative" browser.

Here are some instructions for installing both Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox.  I prefer Chrome, because it is so fast...but I do know that FireFox users are very loyal, and they don't like to switch for any reason.

So for the time being, if you don't have another browser installed...here are some options:

How to install Google Chrome:

How to install Mozilla FireFox:

Also...if you MUST use Internet Explorer... you may continue to do So, but you need to disable Flash.

This will greatly limit your activity...as many sites utilize flash player.  But it's still possible.

To disable flash you go to: Settings -> Manage Add-ons, then select Shockwave Flash and click the disable button.
