Griffith Observatory (Los Angeles, CA)

Last Saturday, Melissa and I visited L.A. to see friends and to have some all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ.

We had an hour to spare, so we decided to pay our first visit to the Griffith Observatory (after having seen it on Flickr under Most Interesting in Los Angeles).

Estimating Complexity for SAP Netweaver BW BI

In my line of work, the high-level requirements for most developments are fairly straight-forward.

“I need a report that shows my on-hand stock quantity.”
“I need to see all returns for a given batch at a specific plant.”

The known requirements are easy enough as they allow a developer to locate the source table and fields and extrapolate the required development needed to build custom data models and reports.

Earlier this year, my friend Chris and I were driving down I-15 in Las Vegas when we saw an amazing sunset reflected on the windows of Aria, one of the newest hotel/casino in Las Vegas. We both acknowledge the potential for this image, but our schedules didn’t allow for us to meet up again to take a capture.

LVMPD – Search & Rescue: Short Haul & Fast Rope Training 2010

My friend Kristin invited me to shoot their training session near Mt. Charleston.

It was super cool watching the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the volunteers of the Search and Rescue Unit go through their drills.

To give you an idea of what these folks go through, the warm up was a 3-mile run with 50+ pounds on their backs followed by a series of “Short Haul and Fast Rope” drills. I was tired just watching them!

House inside the Minnesota Arboretum
