TGIF everyone. It's also "National Unplug Day." A day to get out and enjoy nature, family and friends without all the tech gadgets like TV, computers and phones. So, I'm headed out to enjoy a couple of my favorite wetlands with my camera, of course. The one gadget no one should leave behind. LOL I can't totally give up everything.

My youngest grandbaby was amazed when the lights came on! It was awesome. When it was time for nap and bedtime ( I had the pleasure of having him with me for almost a week) I would unplug the tree and he would lay down and sleep. I do so love him =)

I had no urge to tamper with this copier in any way until I saw the "DO NOT TURN THE COPIER OFF" sign. Now, I can barely resist the urge to unplug the sucker.
Labor over $200 at the dealers. Remove door panel, 6 or 7 screws, unplug old, plug in new and put panel back on.
My wife and I decided that the best way to unplug from our lives was to get on a boat and get as far away as we can! We got to enjoy to sights and sounds that our southern country of Mexico had to offer aboard the Carnival Fantasy Cruise liner. And, I got to try my hand in street photography using vintage lenses. Honestly one of the best vacations to date, and we are looking forward to going back!
my very first exhibition at the PINK in klagenfurt. this location will be a new womans fashion store starting in july. the owner made a 44hours sale on his older stuff and asked me to present some of my pics during this time. giving me the chance to exhibit my work. 44moments of tine at the PINK. now this is what happened at the 13th march 2008.
thanx to unplug for some of the pictures.
Looks like someone forgot to unplug the engine heater lead from their
car, and it finally came unstuck!
1. On average, children in the US will spend more time in front of the TV (1,023 hours) than in school this year (900 hours).
2. 40% of Americans frequently or always watch television or movies during dinner.
3. The proportion of overweight children has doubled since 1978 due, in part, to sedentary activities such as watching television, surfing the internet and playing video games...
Youth spend over 10 ½ hours a day engaged with media. From television, internet, radio, Ipods, video games, cell phones, Music Videos, and Movies, youth have much more media to contend with now more than any other time in our history. During the Clarity Creative Institute’s Digitally Impaired Conference, the concern was brought up to our panel of experts in 21st Century Youth Culture that today’s generation of youth were losing touch with real contact and communication. Clarity Creative Institute then announced the Digital Day-Off happening on 10/10/10 to address this concern. The Digital Day-Off will be a day for families, children, and individuals to shut off the digital media and communicate off line. They will, in other words, “Unplug to Connect!”
Before you panic, remember that there was a time where people shared, offline. Neighbors talked and got to know one another, families ate dinner together and friends played outside. Digital Day-Off will give families and friends a chance to converse and connect to communicate. During the Digital Day-Off, families will have many options to communicate by taking a break from electronic digital media and become engaged offline. Within the next ten days, Clarity Creative institute will give tips, ideas and suggestions for activities to encourage families and the community to communicate on the Digital Day-Off. Join us as we take one day that can be the difference in strengthening relationships. And remember, on 10/10/10, "Unplug to Connect!"

It feels quite strange to be able to post any photos, but it sure feels good : ) After being without a computer for four days, I collected my old and new machines and, to my horror, discovered that there was not a single one of my thousands of photos on my new computer! The word "deleted" flashed through my mind and it wasn't till later yesterday that I was finally able to check my old computer to see if my photos were still on it. Relief flooded through me and I could physically feel my stress level plunge, lol. It took one and a half days of crawling under my computer table to plug and unplug the ever-growing tangle of cords to reach the point where I could actually use my old computer. What a nightmare! To say that I am not impressed with the service I got from the store this week is an understatement. Six years ago, the same people had done such a great job of transferring all the data from an old to a new computer, which is why I went back to them. However, now that the weekend is over and the store will be open again, I have to phone them and ask why they didn't transfer all my images. Tomorrow, I have minor surgery, so all this was supposed to have been done by now, so that I could spend my recovery time editing photos, learning Windows 7, etc.. I knew I would not be able to take or collect the heavy, awkward to carry hard drives or be bending and stretching under my desk for a while, so I am really annoyed, to say the least. For now, though, I am SO relieved that I was finally able to get the new monitor hooked up to the old computer, so that it works. Of course, someone who knows everything about computers would have solved all this many hours sooner : )
This is one of the photos I took a week ago, on 17 February 2014, in Fish Creek Park, in Calgary. We don't get Great Gray Owls within the city, so this beautiful bird has been such a rare treat. A few weeks ago, we were photographing another Great Gray Owl in Griffith Woods, again within city limits. Strange how this has happened - maybe there is just too much deep snow in the countryside and maybe a hard crust has developed, making it too difficult for the owls to find food? As you can tell, this owl is focused on hunting. They are so fascinating to watch - their concentration is amazing.

Unplug and Play: Pemberton and District Recreation Service hosts free Family Event, May 1Share
Apr 21, 2016
Affected Communities: Electoral Area C, Village of Pemberton
The Pemberton and District Community Centre will be hosting an Unplug and Play event on Sunday, May 1 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm as a kickoff event to Screen Free Week.
The event is geared towards creating awareness for families on the importance of balancing technology use with time with family, creative pursuits, recreation and nature. Children today are increasingly connecting to technology and disconnecting from themselves, their close relationships, and nature. Parents are encouraged to participate.
another handy use of the cablecloak. This is my docking station at work. The cablecloak worked well to organize wires as they were without having to unplug anything or re-wire. This was a huge time saver for me.
the opto block needed support for cable plugs and unplugs. it had only the wires to hold it to the board.
hot-melt glue (again) to the rescue.
Are we teaching our children the wrong thing in relation to animals? Shoot them for fun?

One of the ways we processed the individual pieces we brought into a larger group collective was to represent our topics on wood chips, and then we worked to build a map. At this point in the process, most of the pieces are in place, but we have yet to really start into the connections. Not only was this a great thinking task, but it also let folks go all artistic, too! Each participant is also represented in the map by a hand-painted stone.

saturday : only sunny day in AGES ! husband & i decided to unplug from all things christmas & chores, and to go hike all afternoon on the coast instead. and it was a good choice.
Dear diary
Sometimes I unplug. This usually happens the second I walk through the door when I come home from work. It's like takin the brain and putting it in the freezer until the morning. Unfortunately this makes my fiancée "not so happy". I do understand that, it's not nice to live with a person without a brain as it makes me forget almost everything i'm supposed to do. F.x. wash the car, clean up after I make some photographic experiments, do the dishes, cook etc. etc.
Theres one thing though I never forget. How much I love her.
Adieu.
Victor was hiding behind the couch. Isn't he cute? Luckily, he doesn't eat plastic bags.

Removing the four exterior (shorter) screws and pulling off the foot panel is relatively easy--just make sure you leave the wire connections intact. (Ok, yes, I know you could unplug the connector, but I have a lousy memory for remembering which way things went, even WITH pictures, and you don't need to).
I tried to unplug him.
I suppose it's not too bad. i got a lot of quarters. I'll make him work hard after what he done.
Special Announcement: Heading to Australia Jan 2013
I'm super excited to announce my next travel adventure! AUSTRALIA!!!
Jenn and I have been planning this trip for a couple of weeks now and I'm excited to finally announce it. Will be visiting Sydney and Cairns on our adventure with plenty of picture taking along the way! I'm so stoked!
We will have limited internet access on this trip so I'm not sure how much updating i'll do, but I'll try to check in when I can. To be honest I'm just excited to unplug for a couple weeks and get away from a computer screen and explore this new part of the world.
Let the adventure begin!!!!!!!!
Strictly business. The original polyester leisure suit . Got this shot at the Olympic Game farm in Sequim Washington, when Sassy and I were on our spontaneous peninsula road trip. There was a hen walking around in front of him and she was rather impassive about this display. I was rather impressed though....wonder what that makes me?
Sassy and I got a play station today with one of those "move around while you play the game" attachments.
Haven't used that yet but tonight we used our new playstation to watch a streaming movie from Netflix. All the exercise we got was from moving the popcorn, from the bowl, to our face. Enjoyed the movie too.
High tec tribulations was the fair for the afternoon. I got the new playstation gadget all hooked up just fine and then I had to jump through some "online" hoops setting it up and updating. Well in the middle of that, I get a pop up window that exclaimed there was no internet connection. Went into the office to check out the modem, all the lights were blinkin'. I tried to log on to the world wide web with my computer. Sure enough no connection. Damn if my computer didn't freeze up. Just the twirly thing going round and round and nothing else worked. So I hit the old power button to shut her down. Then after its off, I try to boot it up..... What the hell? It won't boot up! Now I'm really frustrated cause now my computer with all my photography software is on the fritz. I was just trying to get a friggin' playstation in the other room to work all copasetic. Still no internet connection. Reset the modem.....after two tries I finally have a internet connection on my other crappy computer. Still can't get my "divine obsession" computer to boot up. Crap!
I unplug all the wires, external hard drives etc, etc, drag it out to the dining room table, get out the screwdriver, and open it up. Surgery. A little dusty in there. I go out to the garage fire up the compressor, go back into the dining room, grab my "precious patient" and out to garage we go for a blow job good blowing out with compressed air. I am quite skeptical about the triumph of such a treatment, but I'm desperate, and such an action is a perfect example of my technical prowess. After blowing enough dust into the air to get me coughing, I head back into the house with my computer.
I put the cover back on in the dining room and then carry it back into the office where I hook up the power cord and the monitor. I push the "power up" button and......Hallelujah! It works!
The rear speaker jack doesn't work now but I can plug my speakers into the one in the front and they work fine. I can live with that for now. After all that I finally made it back out to finish setting up our new playstation.
Moral of the story......there ain't nothing a good...........blowing off with compressed air can't fix. Turn up the Barry White. :)
