There was barely a dusting on the ground this morning, causing me to roll my eyes when I heard the federal government was closed. But suddenly, #snowquestration has begun. You can't tell from the pic, but these are huge, fluffy flakes. 63/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Today, went to see #MonsterJam monster truck rally with a friend and his kid. Overall, it was kinda disappointing, I think because the arena was too small for them to do the really cool stuff. Anyway, I loved that this monster truck with a school bus body - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Inside the new Hunt Library at NC State, "bookBot" retrieves your requested book from the 5-story stacks containing 1.5 million books. The stacks are bins of books and these massive robots pull the right bin when you request the book and rolls the bin ove - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
From a lab at the NC State Nonwovens Institute. This machine does "hydro entanglement" of synthetic fibers to make nonwoven fabric. Very cool. 54/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Italian Pizza Kitchen, holding out hope that someone will want to sit at the outdoor cafe seating, keeps the heaters ablaze. It's 36° outside, with a wind chill of 26°. 45/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Decorative beastie/gargoyle on the Rayburn House Office Building. Almost as interesting as the hearing on manufacturing I was attending. 43/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Went shopping in Georgetown today. Which was painful. But the walk along the C&O Canal was nice. Strangely, there was more water in the puddles than in the canal. 38/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
When I lived here 20 years ago, I frequently thought that being in the Metro feels a little like being in the movie "Logan's Run." It still feels like that once in a while. I like that. 36/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
I tried changing the watch face on my iPod Nano to see if that would make me feel any better about it. Unfortunately, not even Mickey or Kermit could cheer me up about still being at the office at 7:15. 34/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Dinner awesomeness by Arthur. (I know, it's food. But I did go a whole month without posting a food pic as my daily photo...) 33/365 - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
