McAlister Matters

I was working on a new mapping project at work and came across a funny bug.  At first I thought it was a bug in my code that was causing the Great Salt Lake to turn purple.  After a few minutes of puzzlement and code checking I realized that I was experiencing a classic brain bug, or optical illusion.  We got a good laugh out of this at work.  Check out these two pictures.  The blue lakes and green forest polygons are, in fact, the same colors.

We had a fun family outing with Sarah's family last weekend and spent a day at the Hogle Zoo.  The new sea shores exhibit is pretty amazing and the polar bear was amazingly cool.  We also went to the bird show which was really impressive and unique.

Sarah and I enjoyed a small campfire last night.  We went up to Mueller Canyon just up the road in Bountiful and made some tinfoil dinners and smores.  Tinfoil dinners are so easy and so good!
