Wednesday celldump #2

Posted on 22 Jul ’10 by Nikki Murray

More colorful leftovers for this week’s iPhone photo gallery purge. This week there were nearly twice as many as last week, so I put them in gallery style. I clearly have too much fun playing with my iPhone apps.

we stayed downtown that night and had this view from the hall (the room view was less glamorous)

The yearly pilgrimage

Posted on 2 Jul ’10 by Nikki Murray

Every year I drive up to Chicago to see the family and visit the cemetery. The visit started began with a dinner, a trip to the cemetery and some walking around downtown. Family, food, friends and fun… always a good beginning. (Incidentally, I forgot my camera gear, so all these photos were taken with an iPhone4.)

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.
