Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is famous for its unique geology of red rock spires and horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters. Because Bryce transcends 2000 feet (650 m) of elevation, the park exists in three distinct climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest.

These photos were taken in May 2003 with a Canon PowerShot G2. Patricia and I started our drive at 4am to catch the sunrise and get some good early morning light for the shots. We were very surprised to get caught in an early morning snow storm which dusted the ground white in the early morning hours. It was a pleasant sight but considering we were dressed in shorts and light jackets, it wasn't the best of conditions.

Technology news from the extreme consumer to the uber geek perspectives PDF Print E-mail
Technology - Technology Articles

It's been my job to keep tabs on all things technology for the past several years as CIO for the Society of American Florists and to contribute new ideas in round table discussion at SAF's Technology Committee meetings. During this time, I've accumlated a list of Web sites I review via RSS and like to share a trend I've noticed. Consumers and uber geeks represent opposite ends of a spectrum that drive technology. Within the spectrum falls everything else such as all size of businesses, Non-profit org, government IT, etc.

My Experience as an ASAE and The Center Young Professional PDF Print E-mail
Association Work - ASAE & The Center Young Professionals Committee
Written by Renato Cruz Sogueco   
Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:36

Beginning in the Fall of 2007 through this year, I served on ASAE & The Center's Young Professional's Committee (YPC) for its inaugural year as a standing committee. And truth be told. I miss it. I'd been a member of ASAE for quite some time but it wasn't until last year I decided to step up and volunteer. It was a perfect storm of my naiveté regarding ASAE volunteer duties and zeal that I signed up to serve simultaneously on both on YPC and the Technology Section Council. I sacrificed some quality time with my kid, some golf and personal hobby time but in retrospect it was worth it. I made a ton of friends and contacts, learned a great deal and shared some as well. Do it again? Not. I now only serve on the Council.

What do I miss about serving on the YPC?

just finished mulching the fall foliage into lawn with my riding mower. PDF Print E-mail
Sustainable Living - Recycling
Written by Renato Cruz Sogueco

I've researched that leaves contain much of the minerals trees collect during the year - mulching leaves into your lawn actually fertilizes the grass. plus, no need to rake and bag!

When you rake your leaves, it costs you. Your local taxes pay for trucks to sweep up your leaves or pick up your leaf bags, which often end up in landfills. If you burn leaves, you're just sending up clouds of carbon into the atmosphere. Mulching leaves simply recycles a natural resource, giving you richer soil for free.
