Awesome Windows backgrounds or just general computer graphic art. The best I've seen and one of the best sites around. One of the few Internet pioneers that I think should be making money at his profession.

Harbor Boats

I walk along the harbour to work each day. These are some of the boats I see on the way.

Wellington Dragon Boat Festival

Start:	Mar 15, '08
End:	Mar 16, '08

There have been teams of rowers out practicing in the harbor nearly everyday. I'm not sure what the event is all about, but there are sure to be lots of long boats with two dozen rowers per.

Martinborough Fair

On the first Saturday of Feb and March the small town of Martinborough holds a huge craft fair.  I was somewhat skeptical on the "huge" part, but indeed it was damn big.  The town is probably only 1500 residents that bursts at the seams with 25,000 visitors!

There was a ton of cools stuff.  I could easily have spent $500 on random stuff.  Lots and lots of great art... hand carved wood, hand cast bronze, and lots of wool.  We got hats.

There was a lot a food, but it was sooo crowded we didn't really get a chance to check it all out.  They did have something that looked like, but was entirely unlike a corndog.  It was deep-fried on a stick, but it weren't corny in the least.

Still it was a lot of good looking stuff.  I almost latched on to a wool poncho, but I think I definitely would have been mistaken for Clint Eastwood.  However, this may be attempted again later... hehe.  I'm thinking a poncho/cape like thing will work well for the bad weather days on the walk to work.

Anyways... we had a good time and nice drive through the moutains.  Cy'all later
