The earthrobert Media Library is now at 85%. I am going to begin researching the pros and cons of moving to the WordPress Premium Plan. I will have to make a decision on my next steps soon, but for now I will keep on filling up that Media Library.

Mambo House
Anyone like Cuban cuisine? Mambo House is a relatively new restaurant in Round Rock that serves up some yummy Cuban food. Tonight’s dinner consisted of fried plantains, empanadas, Chuletas a la Parilla (grilled pork chops, yellow rice and caramelized onions), and tres leches. Everything was perfect, and I will be sure to return again soon.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! These are some photos from my view of the Austin festivities. I hope your 2016 is a joyful and rewarding year.
ANY
ANY = Austin’s New Year. The city threw a pretty cool party this evening at Auditorium Shores. There were bands (including two of my favorite Austin bands – Vallejo and the Flying Balalaika Brothers), art, decorated bicycles, food trucks, and nice views of downtown. Thanks for the party Austin. We will see you next year. 🙂
Mint
Since the New Year is coming, I am looking for a good way to track my budget. I am going to experiment with the Mint App and their budgeting tips, and so far I have found that just going to their website to set things up is better. For example, I cannot create budgeting categories in the App, but must use the website to accomplish this. The plus side of things is the easy way to get started. The negative side of things (so far) is the volume of advertising. I will experiment with the App and let you know how things work out. 🙂
Through and Around
I walked through the Williamson County Courthouse this evening, and then took a walk around the square looking for interesting views. These photographs are the results of my wanderings.
Big Freeze
In honor of our big freeze coming tonight, I had some fun with the Pixlr App. I didn’t find a suitable snowy overlay, but that’s OK because it won’t snow in Round Rock tonight anyway.
Snake
Chicken, Chicken, Goat, Dragon, Rabbit, Horse, Chicken, Snake…
Light Bulbs
Climbing on top of things to take some photos of the coolest light bulbs ever. In case you are wondering, I didn’t get in trouble and I was not injured in any way. 🙂
Elephant Room II
My favorite jazz bar was open for Christmas Night, so I stepped into the basement bar and enjoyed some great music. The best part of the evening was when they had a tap dancer on stage to tap away during one of the jazz tunes. The main performer, Alex Coke, was in town from Amsterdam and he played the flute, bass flute, and soprano sax. A very fun night!
