Day 6 - FACT OR CRAP challenge is back on!!
Black and White Wednesday
=========================================
Fact or Crap is a daily desktop calendar that I got a few years ago that we turned into a monthly competition. Whoever gets the most answers right each month gets a dollar from the losers and then we all go out to lunch together for our "awards banquet". So essentially the winner each month gets a free lunch.
It's pretty fun and we did it during 2007 and 2008, but last year no one bought a calendar so we didn't do it in 2009. But one of my coworkers just picked up a calendar a few days ago, so the competition is back in full swing! (We actually didn't start until today, so we had some catch up to do)
What you see in the pic is each of us holding our penny and showing a heads or tails. We all look at the question (it's actually just a statement) and decide if we think it is true or false. Then we put our coin in our hand with heads up if we think the answer is true or tails up if we think it is false. Then on the count of 3, we all reveal our coins. It is QUITE exciting, let me tell you!!

Day 5 - Crazy camera effects
My weekly Tuesday night Bible Study resumed tonight, after a Christmas break. I was sitting in the church, waiting for it to start, and messing around with my 6 month old "walk around" camera.
It has some crazy feature called "creative lighting" where it will make a specific shape out of any spots on your photo that are very small and fairly bright (i.e. specular highlights).
So I tried it out with the Christmas trees in the church, and here is what I ended up with. I think it looks pretty cool! Lots of interesting possibilities with effects like this...
Oh, and the Bible study I go to is called Bible Study Fellowship. It is a worldwide international, non-denominational Bible study and it is very good. I have been going to it for about 9 years now. Here is a link for info and to find a meeting place near you: www.bsfinternational.org/

Day 4 - It's time to put the tree away
Macro Monday
=====================================
I have a little tomato cage Christmas tree at my work, that I get out and setup at my desk each year in December. Since the new year is now here, I decided today that it is probably time for my tree to get put away.
Boo hoo, such a sad sad day.... I'll miss you little tree, I'll see you in 11 months.
