“When I was a kid, we said that we were precluded from going to certain neighborhoods because of the color of our skin … Now the neighborhoods are the neighborhoods of ideas, you’re not supposed to be there because … of the color of your skin.” ~ Clarence Thomas
This is pretty cool. It’s a new technology called 3-D Immersion Videos. Click on the link and then click on one of the videos on the right sidebar. Once you do that you have to scroll down the page a good ways to see the video you selected (a pain really, but worth it). Once you see the video in the middle of the screen click the play button and it starts. What makes it different from regular videos is that you can use your mouse to move your view around in the video allowing you to get that “3-D I’m really there feeling.”
You can also choose a city from their GeoImmersive Database link near the top. It takes you on a tour of certain cities again with that 3-D view.
It snowed here last night. And it’s still spitting snow today. I would say about five inches, which is not Montana weather, but good enough to get the kids out sledding and most cars stuck at home (we don’t have the equipment to clear back country roads here so they tend to get dangerous).
I had big plans - working in the garage, clearing limbs that had fallen during the winter in our yard, taking the garbage to the county dump (something we do out in the country) - but that’s not going to happen so I will probably spend some time in front of the computer like I usually do in the winter.
Oh well, spring will be here soon enough and my weekends will be plenty busy. And then pool season.
Fun, fun, fun.
Until the, here’s some late-winter entertainment for you.

UPDATE:
I just spent the better part of the morning outside building a snow fort with my youngest son and loving wife. We used square-shaped soap buckets (courtesy of shopping at Sam’s Club) to make bricks for the fort. It was hard work - shoveling, carrying the buckets of formed snow to the fort, and packing them together - but we made a pretty good fort if I say so myself.
Bring on the enemy for we are packing plenty of snowballs.
