My wife, Melissa, and I had to drive up to Fresno, CA on Friday evening because she had a teaching conference thing to attend at Cal State Fresno on Saturday. First of all, the drive up that way is always just SUCH a joy (I’m dripping with sarcasm here). I freaking wish I had a rocket car. It’s when I’m driving those kind of roads where I envision myself outfitted with a rocket packet or wish I could just teleport. At least it’s not as bad as driving all the way up to Sacramento or beyond. Highway 5 all the way up. Woof.
It’s not all bad though. You get a lot of time to think or talk with whoever you’re with.
While there I had to occupy myself while Melissa was in meetings and whatnot and I basically kept around Cal State Fresno. I don’t think I want to do that again. Anyone know of anything worthwhile to check out while visiting Fresno for the next time? I’d LOVE to hear if there is actually anything at all. Color me skeptical.

I’ll post a link to the photo set as soon as I decide whether to go “Pro” with my Flickr account or simply switch over to Google’s Picasa Web. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Should I stick with Flickr and go Pro or switch over to Picasa?
UPDATE:
So I know I haven’t updated in quite awhile. Give me a break I’ve been busy. I’m going to make a point of retroactively going through and posting on things I should have a long time ago (some things that occurred a few years ago…haha). Anyway, I’ve done the research and decided to purchase the Pro account for Flickr. Nice API, larger community, and unlimited uploading were the deal breakers. There’s just more you can do with a Pro account on Flickr than you can for something at all comparable on Picasa. Sorry Google.
So with that here a link to the photoset from the Fresno trip. Not many pics but it’s what you get.

Re: Flickr
The cool thing about Flickr is that a lot of people are on it. If you’re into the whole social side of it, it’s worth it. If you’re just looking for a place to host your pictures – bye bye Flickr. It’s apparently a great place to get biz leads for photography (not for me yet, but friends) – but I doubt you’d get design jobs there.
just realized that my fancy anchor text is a “no follow” link, so I’ll just be putting Austin from now on…. hahahah
Visit Cabo Wabo next time you are in Fresno. Yes, the Sammy Hagar owned cantina in Baja is also in Fresno. Its about 1.5 miles south of Fresno State on Cedar Avenue.
Fresno. . .it’s for the birds.
