So, over labor day weekend, I went on a nice little road trip out to death valley and back. To make things interesting, I decided to go out through Yosemite. There’s a road to the north of the main valley, Route 120, which goes to Mono Lake. I’m breaking this up into smaller bits so I can process the photos slow enough to do a good job, and not take 6 months to come up with a one post edit. This isn’t a magazine. I took these photos from an overlook called “The Rim of the World,” where there was a very large fire last year. Hundreds of thousands of acres on fire. It was pretty unreal. There are hapier pictures coming, lakes and mountains and desert, but I had to start somewhere.

These are from what, a week ago? The day I visited twitter, and the day before I lit out for the hills. The view from their deck is pretty nice. I know thee aren’t Death valley landscapes. Those are coming, soon enough.

Well, that little experiment lasted, didn’t it? Anyway, driving through the desert with no internet put a dent in the posting, and work this week has neen pretty busy, so I haven’t had an ounce of energy to spare. I turn 30 today. Four years ago, I was in “Egypt, at the Pyramids”:http://matt.pictures/2010/09/06/the-great-pyramid-of-giza.html. I wasn’t going to go to the pyramids; it cost $40 or something like that, and I was short on funds. Plus, I hate tourist traps. But, my parents sent me some money, and so I went. I was glad I did. Here is a photo of phoes that I took on my road trip to Death Valley. They didn’t go with the landscapes that are coming later, bu I couldn’t bring myself to cut them.

I deleted over 1000 lines of code today. That was the easy part. I worked on the watch on lunch; board rev 2.2 is at the fabricator. I fixed some things at work, made some other things work better, then I came home. I shopped, I cooked, I cleaned (although not as much as my lovely wife). I used a trick I learned from a cartoon to make my sauce less salty. Archer, thanks. Now it’s time to sleep.

This was what, sometime in April? Vlad is a friend from the internet, I think, and he’s definitely ‘from the internet’. His birthday party was app themed. My app was “in development” because I’m terrible at costumes. My wife, the genius, went as a polaroid app, and took pictures and printed them on demand. There was an instagram, a draw something, an ATM app, a recipe app… you get the picture.
