Participating artists have created an art gallery on wheels, with imaginative designs that include imagery of riders on the bus, historic views of Raleigh, whimsical dinosaurs, robots and monsters, and a typographic portrayal of Sir Walter Raleigh.
On the way out of the fairgrounds we saw these little guys playing outside the pond. Stopped long enough to grab a few shots. I don’t think the mother geese (father geese?) were too thrilled about it but it made for some reasonably good pictures.
The Got to be NC Festival celebrates all things North Carolina and what is more North Carolina than antique tractors. Well – I can think of a few things but the tractors were pretty awesome. With rides, concessions and a overwhelming sampling of North Carolina made products this event is becoming a mini-fair in the spring. Check it out today and tomorrow if you can and don’t miss your chance to win the antique Ford tractor to the right. I’m [...]
Losing daylight fast we went over to Carter-Finley for a few quick shots around the stadium and the massive statue outside. We’ll be back this fall for some game action but till this is as close as you can get to the Pack.
The entrance to the Neuse River Trail at Anderson Point Park officially opened last month and just a short drive from the house it is a great place to go for a bike ride. Friday night we rode to the trail about 9 miles round-trip.
What did you do Saturday morning? Probably didn’t hike over six miles in your local state park following orange squares on trees like ET followed Reese’s Pieces with much less peanut butter. Yes – hiking will make you hungry.

Pretty cool Lego video to celebrate their 80th birthday. Worth a watch to get an idea of where the company came from and how they became the worldwide leader they are today.
Lego turns 80 today! I will celebrate by snapping together several little plastic bricks. “det bedste er ikke for godt“ means “Only the best is the best” or “The best is never too good” – not a bad motto for a company that makes blocks that have to snap together perfectly to work. No the Lego brick is not 80 – the Lego company is. The modern brick was patented in 1958 and is still compatible with bricks made today. [...]
Explore Kennedy Space Center with Street View is as cool as it sounds. Don’t believe me? Watch the video. I might spend the rest of the day taking another tour of KSC without having to get on and off of a bus. Some of the virtual stops are completely behind the scenes. So to infinity and beyond and all from your desk. The street view guy even gets his own space suit. Click here to get started and just grab [...]
So the biggest feat in Space Exploration since the lunar landing – the landing of Curiosity on Mars – dubbed the “7 Minutes of Terror” is happening this week with coverage starting on August 5th and going into the early morning hours of the 6th. The anticipated landing will happen at 1:31 a.m. EDT if all goes well. It should be worth seeing and given that they are broadcasting it live in Times Square – I might not be the [...]
So in the long standing tradition of nonsense and mayhem I must encourage you to call BobG today and wish him a Happy Birthday – he is probably the only 41 year-old with a Star Wars cake for his Birthday. (At least for the next 3 years or so.) So May the “G” Force Be With You! More pictures of the cake after the jump. Very impressive work – also – the rumor is the cake was really good. Unfortunately [...]
