Just finished uploading my photos from our trip to Duluth for July 4th weekend. I realized I also hadn't posted about an air show in Saint Cloud a few weeks ago, so I'll do both.

Went with Carrie to take some spring shots. We wanted to get some pictures of those trees with the white flowers (cherry blossoms?), but we were a few days too late as they were already blowing off. So we went to Munsinger Gardens which had some really brightly colored flowers.

I'm a huge fan of zefrank from <a href="http://zefrank.com">zefrank.com</a>. I use to eagerly await new episodes of his daily video podcast The Show and was really bummed when he decided to stop doing it. I kind of stopped following him since then but just spotted a new creation of his, a short chillout song:

</p>
<p>
Don't just listen to the song though, the real interesting part is <a href="http://www.zefrank.com/chillout/">the backstory and how he created it</a>. It really is inspiring to see someone using the social and connected nature of the internet in this kind of way.
