Corn Fields and Zombies

Same place (Dixon Corn Maze), same date, except one year forward. Last year's pic on the maze can be found here.

Surprisingly enough, there's more people in the corn maze bent on scaring people than before. We happened to be surrounded from both ends. (I didn't know who was in the image until after I took it, and a lot of people liked the resulting image in our CKI group, and was quickly spread.)

A few days later I found my Dixon Corn maze map a year back and noticed that huge sections of the maze were identical to that of last year's.

Fun Fact: The image title also makes a small reference to Space Pirates and Zombies (very decent RTS in space definitely worth the $15) which I've played for the past few weeks. Someone called the person in the background a zombie, hence the title.

Legend of Davis

Three things come to mind about this meeting: UC Davis, Zelda, and M. Cabe.*

Also known as 'The Legend of Circle K', the name on the T-Shirt, this is their first meeting.

Note: In relation to this semester's theme of pictures, this overview image might not be as badass, but the intro skit fits the theme nicely.

Tied Up, Geometrically

Rope-based jungle gym in Hidden Valley Park in San Ramon, CA. I've not seen a jungle gym of this type before.

Note that I was intending to go to a community service project in Sacramento today, but was redirected here instead due to a family birthday party.

Book Selling Floor

Event: The Record’s Literacy and Book Fair - Family Day at the Park

Well, this IS technically a book fair for kids, so that means that the books shown here are free (limit 1 per child), making the post title slightly inaccurate. Despite the huge number of books available to give away (more like 5,000) they disappear fairly quickly if you're faced with a never-ending line.

We Create Dinos

More specifically, we create dinos using a wooden model kit.

Removing the News Ticker

Personally I don't like the news ticker on Facebook, so I made a small script to remove it*. Add the following filter on AdBlock Plus:

facebook.com##div.tickerActivityStories

I've also heard from friends that it's possible to revert to the old newsfeed by switching the language to English (UK) but it's a temporary solution - it's only a matter of time before the ticker appears in that language as well.

Bike Path, Second Playthrough

By 'second playthrough' means that I've covered a cleanup job in this area already a while back, and doing it a second time. However this is part of California Coastal Cleanup, not UOP.

Remembered: Mrs. Langone talking about these cleanups 4+ years ago but decided not to go at that time. Now I have the chance.
