pong

I started picking up programming again.  I used C# with the XNA libraries to make a quick pong game.  This took me about an hour to code up and it is more for the learning experience, but if you want to check it out,  leave me a message and i’ll send you the program and/or the source.

Calla sitting by the river

Calla being cute sitting by the river

So we went to St. Cloud to visit Calla’s Family this Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of very good food, but the highlight of the trip was when we went for a little excursion with just the 2 of us.  First we went below the dam to skip stones in the river.  We had a lot of fun, but the real excitement was above the dam where the water was frozen.  After just sitting along the river for a few minutes, we accidentally knocked a chunk of ice on the river and it skidded and made an interesting noise.  We then spent the last of the sunlight throwing more ice onto the river.  Below is a video I took of Calla throwing a piece.  Isn’t she cute!

I would like to thank Movie Rotator for helping me to rotate the movie I took sideways with my camera.
