    San Antonio River Walk Expansion – Canal Lock In Action

    May 30th, 2009 - 1 Comment » - Filled in: Photos, San Antonio, Videos

    The talk of the town in the last few days has been the River North river walk expansion project in San Antonio…also dubbed the Museum Reach, which includes the section between Lexington Avenue and Josephine Street near the Pearl Brewery. Today was the grand opening of this section.

    The section boasts a number of features including public restrooms, exhibits by local artists, pedestrian bridges, fish lunkers (shelters), and the lock and dam complex. The lock and dam complex takes approximately 8-10 minutes to allow entry and exit of the barge and to displace 40,000 gallons of water. My brother took a series of photos and turned it into a video montage of the lock and dam process. Enjoy!

    Storm Cloud Photo In San Antonio

    May 27th, 2009 - 2 Comments » - Filled in: Photos, San Antonio

    As storms rolled through San Antonio tonight, the clouds produced resembled those in Independence Day when the UFOs entering the atmosphere…or like a fire crawling along the ceiling. Strange nonetheless. Although I snapped a pic with my BlackBerry and tweeted it, I got home just in time to capture it with the Nikon.

    These clouds are called mammatus clouds, which means “bumpy clouds”.

    Clever Advertising Slogan: Your Wife Is Hot

    May 18th, 2009 - 2 Comments » - Filled in: Business/Consumer, Photos, San Antonio

    I’m no expert on effective marketing, but occasionally an advertisement catches your attention. In fact, some are so good you have to tell your friends and family all about it. Depending on the venue, the placement of some memorable ads can cost millions while others cost significantly less and are just as engaging.

    Jon Wayne Air Conditioning in San Antonio has accomplished that with its ‘made you look’ slogan.

    I rarely notice billboards. In fact, I can’t think of one that caught my attention like this one since the GodSpeaks billboards.

    When In Doubt, Shave Kobe In Your Head

    March 12th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: Photos, San Antonio, Sports

    One thing Spurs fans dread when playing the Lakers aside from Kobe Bryant are the droves of Fake Lakers in the crowd. Fake Lakers? The people FROM San Antonio that cheer for the Lakers…and they’ve likely never even been to LA. It’s annoying. Almost as annoying as Dallas Mavericks fans. Anyway, I thought I’d seen it all until my friend Daryl sent me this snap of some guy with Kobe’s mug shaved in the back of his head. I’m speechless.

    It’s Tax Season Again

    January 6th, 2009 - No Comments » - Filled in: Photos

    Looks like it’s tax season again. I spotted this one yesterday. I can’t wait to see my first Uncle Sam tax mascot. Of course if you want to dress up as one, I’m sure you could find a classified on Craigslist.

    Mangino Versus Obie

    January 4th, 2008 - 2 Comments » - Filled in: Photos, Sports

    Kansas Jayhawks head football coach Mark Mangino is obese. He makes Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen look like a boy. I think that in celebration of the Jayhawks’ victory over Virginia Tech, which by the way was one of the best BCS games so far, Mark Mangino should diet. As shown in this picture below, he’s larger than the Orange Bowl mascot, Obie. I’m guessing his weight has everything to do with the fact that he adamantly refused a Gatorade bath from his players. Can you say “cardiac arrest”?
