We have no oven, no stove, no sink. We are reduced to hot dogs, cereal, and other type of quick foods. The granola in me won't just use disposable plates, so we're washing dishes in the bathtub. It's going to be beautiful, but right now its just a beautiful disaster. Please feel free to have us over for dinner... PLEASE!!!!!
I just tried out Kiva. Check it out, loan some cash, tell your friends!
Beautiful weather for snowboarding yesterday (we're inside by the fire today because its pouring outside.)
Here's a couple of videos to prove we didn't spend the whole day on our butts...

We're almost done.... We've spent the last month tearing out and rebuilding our master bathroom. There are a few things left to do this week but by this time next week I think it'll be complete. You can see the before and after pics up to this point here. I'll be posting more as we wrap things up.
I'm required to post this shot since Andy has put us in check on our blog posting (I guess we have our first New Year's resolution.)
We had a fun photoshoot (and not so fun hike) with Andy last Sunday. We got some good shots and will probably head out again soon to try some other locations Andy is scouting. More pics here...

While at SXSW last week I met the team from and was introduced to a new site on the Stock Photography block.
Lucky Oliver is a community stock photo site similar to iStockPhoto.com. If you are a photographer you can submit photos that can earn you money the more they are downloaded and purchased. If you are a designer, you can browse their growing collection and purchase photographs for web or print use. Image prices depend on size and range from 1-5 dollars.
While I'm excited just to have another option, I asked what differentiated Lucky Oliver from iStockPhoto. Their plan is to be much more helpful to the photographers who make up their site. If a submitted image is rejected for any reason, they plan to not only tell why, but also offer suggestions on what the photographer can do next time to increase their chances of having the image accepted.
I've added LuckyOliver.com to my bookmarks/design toolbox and plan on using them soon. I'm even planning on trying my hand at submitting some images in the future.
If you're interested in checking them out enter promo code "WES1" at the bottom of this page to receive 3 free Lucky Oliver tokens (The code is good until 4/1/07): http://www.luckyoliver.com/promo
