You Had Me At Full-Frame Sensor…
In honor of my brand-spankin’ new camera, today’s lesson is about digital cameras. Ok,not *all* about them – but some handy background information on them.
Back in the fall of 2005, when I got my first dSLR, the Canon EOS 20D, I didn’t know anything about this sensor stuff. I thought they were all [...]
Birthday Girl!
Earlier this week, I was invited by the fabulous Katie and Adam to come over and spend time hanging out with them for Ella’s first birthday. Just look at that cutie! How could I resist? I’ve actually wanted to get Ella in front of my lens since this past spring when I [...]
Welcome to the Blog Age…
Years ago, I set up WinAmp to generate a list of what I last listened to that then uploaded itself to my server and displayed on my blog sidebar. It was pretty sweet. Now I almost never listen to music through the computer since I work at home, so there is no point. [...]
Jonathan Coulton – In Houston!
Squeeee! Jonathan Coulton will be in Houston on September 20th at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck. So awesome of him to come to Houston a week before my birthday as a special treat just for me! (ok, FINE. I know he isn’t coming just for me. But it is a week before [...]
Just What I Was Waiting For…
When I lived in Germany back in 1990-1992, it was expensive to take photographs. I lived about 15 minutes away from the beautiful city of Rothenburg, and I visited it all the time, but I never took a good photo of “The House”. I’ve always regretted not having the photograph that I could [...]

To Help the Guys…
My Dad sent me this tonight, and it just amused me too much – I had to share!
9 WORDS WOMEN USE. Men, consider this the “Owner’s Manual” you’ve been looking for.
1. *Fine* : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. *Five [...]
I’ve Been Shot!
Photo of me, taken by Elaine
A few weeks ago, Staci posted photos of her new haircut. I was still in Germany at the time, and immediately left her a comment asking who did her hair. She wrote me back right away (she is awesome like that) and sent me all of his contact [...]
Two Be Wed…
Taken on our first day of vacation, in Amsterdam. We enjoyed our time in The Holland ™!
I can finally spill the beans, as I’m heading down there today to get everything ready. I was contacted by the Houston location of Two Be Wed back in July to meet with them, and after reviewing my [...]
It is August Already?
Not just August, but we’re almost at the half-way point into the month! Goodness, where has the time gone? (Ok, being out of town until the 7th probably accounts for a lot of it!) Speaking of vacation, I still have a lot of photos to go through. Well over a thousand, [...]
Knitting, At Last!
When my Mom was staying with us while there house was being worked on, she commented on how I wasn’t knitting. Crazy – not like there is a shortage of yarn in my house! – but I just didn’t seem to have it in me. But I packed yarn and needles when we [...]
Tell Me What You Think…
While the blog is all about me (as in writing what I want to write), it is also all about you. I’m back AGAIN to the same debate I always have … keep everything here in one place, or divide it up? I went through this when I set up the Pointy Sticks [...]
Tumbld.
I’m finally adding things over at my tumblr account – christine.tumblr.com. I’ve added all of my feeds for all of my blogs, plus Flickr, plus everything else there. An easy way to follow “all of me” in one place. Feel free to follow along.
600 Square Miles…
After having a nice, relaxing, off-line vacation, I’m feeling all bright & sparkly and focused! Which makes me realize just how rushed and frazzled I was feeling before we left!
One of the things I forgot to mention? One of my prints was selected for the 600 sq. mi. photo show that the Houstonist [...]
Just a Note…
We’re home. We’re recovering from the easier end of jet lag, but we’re still a bit loopy from it.
I have many, many gigabytes of photos. Somewhere over 20gb, so a lot of photos. (I would guess over 1500, but I haven’t really counted.) I have stories to share. But first, [...]
Wonderful Wurzburg!
We’ve been just kickin’ back and chilling here in Wurzburg for the past few days. The WiFi option (through T-Mobile, for a price again) isn’t strong in our room, so the only option to get online was to come down here to the lobby area and check email, voicemails, etc.
We arrived on … what [...]
Another Photo-Free Post…
I downloaded all the photos to the backup drive – and left the cables in the car when we parked it. Doh. So no photos, again. Just wanted to check in though – we are in Munich, where we stayed last night after spending the day at the Salt Mine in Berchtesgaden, [...]
