Today’s adventure took me to the Zilker Botanical Garden in Austin. It is a relatively small place, so I was able to explore it after work. These are some of the flowers (and Goldfish) that you can discover there.

Apple Store
So, my new (to me) car has the ability to connect directly to my iPod Touch (no, I don’t have an iPhone). I needed an extra cable with the lightning connector so I can rock out to my tunes and podcasts. I’m not so much into rocking out since I am old and all, but I can try. Mostly I am listening to Talk Radio or National Public Radio and trying to learn about the world. But for the limited rocking out that can be accomplished, the cable is a requirement. Thus a visit to the Apple Store in the Domain. People are always looking at me weird when I am taking random photos – their problem, not mine. 🙂
Austin
I went for a walk around downtown Austin this evening and took some photos as usual. The weather has dropped into the mid 70’s and it is a nice change from the heat we have been experiencing into October. Austin has such a walkable downtown.
Conference
Here are some pictures from a Social Media Conference I attended all day at The Westin Austin at The Domain . It was designed as an Unconference where the attendees set the agenda and lead informal sessions on topics they are passionate about. I liked the format, and it kept me engaged throughout the entire event.

Capitol
Since it was such a beautiful night, and I was in the downtown area, I walked over to the Texas State Capitol for some exercise and some photos. Apparently, a lot of other people had the same idea. We were all enjoying the night and taking our best shots of the Capitol Building.
Pecan Street Festival
So the Pecan Street Festival is happening this weekend on Sixth Street. As you can tell from the pictures, it was an overcast and cool day with a few sprinkles scattered in for fun. Booths, bands, food, drink, people and their pets made for an interesting day.
Wizard of Oz
By far, my favorite game at Pinballz Arcade was the Wizard of Oz Coin Pusher Game . As you can see in the pictures, you shoot coins into the game with the hopes of pushing prizes off the edge. The most valuable prize you can obtain are the Wizard of Oz cards. I told the Wicked Witch “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” I did get her (along with several other cards). This game is so addicting!
Pinballz
Pinballz Arcade is not lying when they say they have pinball machines. There are a ton of them to play, and if you feel the need, you can purchase one for your home. Here are some pictures of my favorites they had in the arcade today.
Zoltar
Today, for a work event, my team met up at Pinballz Arcade in North Austin. We always make fun of one of the guys at work, because he has all the knowledge and all the answers like Zoltar. These pictures are for him.
