After the last post,I decided to post some pictures Tracey did from Animal Kingdom a few years ago. I like them so much I have them hanging on my wall at work.

Expedition Everest

So it's been awhile since I've updated, this is because I have been sick and then my camera was out of commission. It was with Tracey on a business trip to Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World (I know...awesome business trip). One of my dreams is to visit Nepal, but apparently they have a pretty good recreation of it in Animal Kingdom outside of the Expedition Everest ride. I had Tracey take some pictures for me.

It's like the basecamp lodge at the real Everest, ready to start the trek up.

The Expedition Everest ride. Looks just like the real thing...except for the roller coaster track going into it.

About the photos Tracey says "These pics are from the Anandapur village in Disney's Animal Kingdom. It's a mixture of Balinese Tibetan and Thai art styles. Most of the details actually came from Bali. The truck came from Thailand. It's a beautiful place and the details are pretty damn amazing."

Apple Track Pad for the TV

Post 50! That's cool.
So using the mouse for a computer hooked up to the TV is a lot harder than it sounds. So to fix that I got the Apple Track Pad.

Like most apple product, machined aluminum. It's also HUGE compared to a laptop track pad. Perfect for the TV.

Smooth glass surface really puts it above all other track pads.

Power button to sync the bluetooth.

As you know Apple track pads don't have a button. In a move that is sheer brilliance, the button is actually the small nubby feet on the track pad. Essentially making the entire pad a button.
