I love sunsets!



Hilarious video! Very well done I might say. Thanks Corey for the laugh!
Glad to finally let everyone know about a project that has been cooking for a quite a few months that we are proud to say is finally live!
AcadianaEats.com is the MOST comphrensive list of restaurants in Acadiana with over 150 different listings. You can search and sort restaurants by breakfast, lunch, or dinner as well as by atmosphere or keyword. Each restaurant has a detailed listing of hours, menus, directions, specials, and a whole lot more! The site is a completely custom job with full CMS & database backend. The project was near and dear to our hearts and we love using the search to find new places to eat in Lafayette or just get updated restaurant hours!
Enjoy! And go find some place new to eat at in Acadiana!
Sometimes a great cup of coffee can make a morning! I stumbled into the office this morning and walked straight to the expresso maker. Jason’s spanking new espresso maker takes some effort, as it is an all manual machine, but it can turn out a shot of espresso that tops anything you can get in town.
Anna and I had the pleasure of going to our dear friend’s son’s baptism on Sunday. They asked me to be the official paparazzi for the event and I gladly obliged. I have learned that I really enjoy looking at the works of the Lord thru a lens. Photography for me is always a chance to see in a frame what I would normally miss with the eye. So here are a few of my favorites from his Baptism.
I spend much of my day weeding through lines and lines of PHP and CSS while working on crafting a custom WordPress template for my clients. It can be very boring staring at thousands of lines of text. I use a text editor for the mac called TextMate and it is phenominal. Even has a built in WordPress bundle that saves me countless keystrokes by auto-text combination for common WordPress tags. Anyway…I have their tips window popup when I load up the program to discover little features that I never knew about. Well the other day this popped up!
Of course this doesn’t make any sense at all unless you are a fan of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! A very awesome book and a pretty darn good movie too! I love when people really love what they do and put a piece of themselves into their projects. The guys who worked on this must be fans…and I appreciate that!
I don’t know how many times I have heard some of these same phrases. My favorite is “I am not really making any money off of this either.” It is always amazing how people are willing to pay the price on the sign at McDonald’s but when it comes to service industries they try and get it for free. Enjoy!
Last weekend I was asked by my local parish priest to do photography for the Mass celebrating his 20th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Fr. Russo is a really powerful preacher and a man who really cares for his flock. I had the pleasure of serving with him in his parish when I was still a seminarian so we have a interesting bond. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
Support your local priests. As much as people give them flak they offer up their lives in total service to us. 20 years of being present to the people of God is laudable!
