I’ll be away from computer and pretty much everything else, except for a lot of trees and mountains and wildlife and rivers and lakes (and even a few hot springs). More when I return.

My bags are packed, the car is loaded, and I’m headed to Oregon for the next two months. You will probably see more updates on here while I’m travelling than I’ve been making lately. Bon voyage.

I pulled to coins, these two, out of my pocket the other day. They span my life : )

Thought this was pretty amazing…

The Great Pyramid can potentially be any human being’s grave or memorial site. As monumental as it is affordable, it serves those of all nationalities and religions. Individuals who are either unwilling or unable to have their physical remains buried there can also opt to have a memorial stone placed instead. Stones can be custom designed with any number of colors, images, or relief decorations. The Great Pyramid will continue to grow with every stone placed, eventually forming the largest structure in the history of man.

The Egyptian pyramids were build for eternity but only for one single person. This pyramid is open to every individual. Rather than hastily burying one another or allowing our ashes to be scattered, as a small stone in the pyramid we can remain part of our species’ constantly shifting and ever-expanding tableau.

I just got back from visiting Portland. My friend just made the move out there along with his 6 month old rottweiler, and I tagged along for the drive.












A very, very spoiled cat. This is its constant choices for food.


Dakota’s neighbor.


Portland squirrel.


A dog of a much smaller variety, trying to fall asleep on my face.

It won’t be this direct, but I am heading to Portland. We’re driving out there and I’ll be flying back to Chicago in a week and a half.

... “ahh! I think he must be hiding up here in this telephone booth, stuck to the ceiling!”

... “no dummy, he is on top of it, I’ll look there”

... “he guys! I’ll check at the top of this ladder.”

Some of my favorite online collections, any of which can keep you busy for hours.

Library of Congress

gutenberg project
...where you can find whole books that have been scanned and read or search them for free.

Darwin’s Correspondance
... I think I just really like the idea of all of any one person’s letters online and in a searchable database.

Hubble wallpaper
...some decently high res pics of space available to you, as they should be since it was your money that helped pay to create them.

more Hubble stuff

Nobel Prize site
...information on all of the Nobel prize winners, the most interesting thing is that they have recorded acceptance speeches from most of the winners that you can listen to.

more nasa stuff
...pics and movies from satallites covering all over the earth.

william gendey’s work
...a favorite of mine, this is a huge database of photographer’ William Gedney’s photos and journals.
