Morphing Madness

Posted on October 27, 2007 - Filed Under computers, Fun | Leave a Comment

Morphing pictures can be pretty fun. Turn a toaster into a microwave or one person into another person. The Morpheus Photo-Morpher software is very easy to use although I’ve heard a few people say they just couldn’t get the hang of it. I’ve decided to do a little tutorial here on how [...]

Golf

Posted on October 24, 2007 - Filed Under Entertainment, Fun | Leave a Comment

Living right behind a golf course has given me all sorts of ideas for little side businesses. The back edge of my property borders on one of the Tee off points, no idea which hole it is since I’ve never golfed there. It would give me a prime place to put up a [...]

Halloween is coming up pretty fast and we still don’t have a costume for Chloe. She can’t seem to decide what she wants to be, but most likely she’ll end up being a princess or fairy god mother or something similar. We’ve already got a dress she can use for that, and some [...]

How about a Game Competition?

Posted on October 15, 2007 - Filed Under Business, Fun, gaming | Leave a Comment

Someone was suggesting to me tonight that I should hold a regular gaming tournament in the store, perhaps one a month or so, playing games like Guitar Hero, Gears of War, Halo 3 and so on.  Elimination type matches or possibly a round-robin tournament if there aren’t too many people involved and the games go [...]

An Evil Pumpkin

Posted on September 30, 2007 - Filed Under Amused, Fun | Leave a Comment

I’m not quite sure when I carved this pumpkin, but the date on the file is 1996 which I think is when I first had access to a scanner. I think the original picture had been taken a few years before that, so probably about 15 years ago. Since then I’ve only carved [...]

If you like messing around with video on a computer, Fantamorph is a pretty cool little program. It’s primary function is to morph images from one into another. I remember messing around with a similar program years ago and it was pretty fun turning my head into an evil pumpkin. It was [...]

Home Theater

One of our semi-regular customers has built a home theater in his house, complete with home theater furniture, a screen and projector, along with a nice sound system. He comes in maybe once a month to browse through the used DVDs and picks up a handful at a time.
