Day 31/365: Full Moon



Day 31/365: Full Moon, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

A gorgeous full moon to end the month of January.

One month down, 11 more to go.

Day 30/365: Checkers Intensity



Day 30/365: Checkers Intensity, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

All of a sudden Steve and Lawerence decided that they wanted to play a game
of checkers.

Look at the intensity on their faces.

Day 29/365: Lights, Lights, Lights



Day 29/365: Lights, Lights, Lights, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

A shot down from the top level of the front apartment section. I love the
lighting fixtures they used for the entrance area.

Day 28/365: Winter Wonderland



Day 28/365: Winter Wonderland, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Was snowing pretty hard on the way to class to morning so put the camera on
black and white and took a few shots out the windshield. This one was my
favorite.

Had no idea it was supposed to snow though.

Day 27/365: Roll ‘N Roaster



Day 27/365: Roll ‘N Roaster, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Got a delicious roast beef sandwich brought home for me.

Probably the best roast beef ever.

Day 26/365: Up In Smoke



Day 26/365: Up In Smoke, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Nothing crazy or motivating today so I figured I could take a shot of my
favorite sandwich from the deli downstairs from the apartment.

The "Up in Smoke" is Smoked Ham, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Mozzarella, Sweet
Roasted Peppers, Lettuce, Tomato & Garlic Mayo. So delicious.

Day 25/365: Princess Whitey



Day 25/365: Princess Whitey, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

This is my hamster, Princess Whitey.

I let her hang out on my desk and I gave her a cashew. She really, really
likes those.

Nom nom nom.

Day 24/365: Windshield Wipers



Day 24/365: Windshield Wipers, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Got new wiper blades from Costco.

Put them in this morning — what a difference. Oh yea and much cheaper than
OEM wiper blades from the dealer.

Day 23/365: Mad Libs



Day 23/365: Mad Libs, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Went to Applebee’s for lunch with my Dad and Tracy before the movies. They
gave us a childrens menu for some reason so we decided to do the mad libs
inisde.

The story is a bit insane.

Dayy 22/365: Breakfast Puffins



Dayy 22/365: Breakfast Puffins, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Have no class on Friday so I can actually sit down with a bowl of cereal for
breakfast.

The Puffins cereal from Whole Foods is so delicious and so good for you. Now
I’m going back to finish my bowl of cereal.

Day 21/365: Working Out



Day 21/365: Working Out, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Decided to start going back to the gym today. I have felt pretty out of
shape lately and I figure even if I do cardio to keep myself in shape that’s
fine with me.

First day back – 6 miles on the bike. Win.

Day 20/365: Wide Angle FlipHD



Day 20/365: Wide Angle FlipHD, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Decided to buy a wide angle adapter that would fit my Flip MinoHD since my
biggest complaint was the field of view.

It does an amazing job and doesn’t mess with the video quality at all.

Day 19/365: NYC Skyline



Day 19/365: NYC Skyline, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Took a shot of the NYC Skyline from my balcony at night.

Not sure why I never did this before, but what a view.

Day 18/365: Top Gear



Day 18/365: Top Gear, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

After having to download all the episdoes of Top Gear, its so nice for them
to finally be advertising it in the USA.

Oh yea and its in HD on BBC America!

Day 17/365: Happy Birthday



Day 17/365: Happy Birthday, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Strawberry Shortcake for Tom’s and Poppy’s birthday.

So delicious

Day 16/365: Starbucks Overload



Day 16/365: Starbucks Overload, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

I have Starbucks locations pop up on my D3’s map and I just laughed at the amount of locations in NYC. So many that they overlap at a scale of 0.75 miles.

Day 15/365: At the Bar



Day 15/365: At the Bar, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

$3 mixed drinks = ugh.

Day 14/365: Blackberries

Got some berries from Trader Joe’s.

Blackberries are SO fresh from there.

Just an awesome movie

Day 12/365: 70-200 f/4L IS

Day 12/365: 70-200 f/4L IS, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Finally got my 70-200 f/4L IS in the mail today.

So excited to have my first L glass lens and I plan to take tons of pictures
with it soon.

Day 11/365: Grandma’s Sicilian



Day 11/365: Grandma’s Sicilian, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Decided that I was too lazy to do anything about dinner tonight so I ordered
pizza from the place around the corner.

My mom recommended the grandmas sicilian pie and it was so delicious thatg I
decided to make it my picture of the day.

Day 10/365: Rosetta Stone Vending Machine



Day 10/365: Rosetta Stone Vending Machine, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

In Orlando International Airport waiting for the flight home from Disney
World and stumbled across this vending machine.

Want to learn another language? Just swipe your credit card.

It seems that they will put anything in a vending machine these days.

Day 9/365: Kona Cafe



Day 9/365: Kona Cafe, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Breakfast at the Kona Cafe in Disney’s Polynesian resort. The breakfast
here, especially the big kahuna is so delicious.

So much food at Disney, feel so fat already.

Day 8/365: Magic Kingdom



Day 7/365: Magic Kingdom, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Finally got to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World.

Picture of Cindarella’s castle at the end of Main Street.

Day 7/365: Good Morning Disney!



Day 7/365: Good Morning Disney!, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

On vacation at Disney and we got up early for breakfast this morning. The
view from the room of the sunrise on the lake was absolutely stunning.

I wish I had my real camera so that I could have capture the steam coming
off the lake, but at least this does the sunrise justice.

Day 6/365: Unused Icons



Day 6/365: Unused Icons, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

I can’t believe they don’t put in anything to prevent these stupid
notifications from popping up on real world systems.

Windows … ugh.

Day 5/365: CDs – What are those?



Day 5/365: CDs – What are those?, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Found my old CD case in the trunk of my car and it brought back some
memories. Stunt, Californication, etc…

So this is what it was like before my iPod.

Day 4/365: Sick



Day 4/365: Sick, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Felt like complete garbage yesterday and woke up today feeling just as
crappy.

Sitting at my desk with a huge box of tissues and Cold-EEZE hoping this cold
goes away before Disney on Wednesday.

Day 3/365: Thanks Snowflake

Day 3/365: Thanks Snowflake, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

The snowflake on my dash is just a reminder of how cold it really is today.
With the wind chill it feels like 0 degrees outside.

I’ll stay inside today, thanks.

Day 2/365: Exchange Rates



Day 2/365: Exchange Rates, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Saw this exchange rate counter in the mall and thought it was really interesting to see how the US dollar currently compares to other currencies around the world.

Day 1/365: Dunkin’ Donuts



Day 1/365: Dunkin’ Donuts, originally uploaded by mattdonders.

Nothing like starting off the new year with breakfast from Dunkin’ Donuts.

1 down, 364 to go.
