A blog from a science nut, computer geek, sometimes philosopher, and a human. Based out of Denver, with a love of Antarctica, I seem to wander the world so who knows where I'll be in 6 months.
wonderfullyrich Every time I land somewhere I’m reminded of an old line in short circuit “one piece will do” referring to bringing back a newly self aware robot in one piece. I made I to Cyprus in one piece. Smooth sailing, other the Dulles security stealing my toothpaste. Felt like all I ate was “English breakfast” … Read more
More like, beach and brain fart here I come… I leave for Cyprus via London tomorrow in the o’dark thirty hours for a month, yes that’s right a month of doing nothing but what I want to do. Or well, more of what we want to do, as I meet Angela in Cyprus when I … Read more
It’s 8:30pm Eastern Standard Time and I’m writing a quick post before I walk out the door for home. It’s been an amazing time lately and I haven’t said much about what’s going on in my life. Two big deals today were that I submitted a website I created to the popular blog BoingBoing.net as … Read more
I just read a passaged that describes how a human body can become the niche that will develop anti-bacterial resistants bacteria. The book is Mountains beyond Mountains written by Tracy Kidder concerning the life and passion of Dr. Paul Farmer who set about to improve the Haitian condition using anthropology and modern medicine. I highly … Read more
I was revisiting the topic of soap today as I was thinking about the continuing discussion that i’ve had where people argue hand sanitizer are as bad for the Environment as anti-microbial soap and decide that it was worth continuing (and perhaps ending) this conversation. Many of you have likely heard about the superbug or … Read more
We are now inhabiting our new residence 3 blocks away from our old residence. It was another fairly long weekend, with Saturday running from 8am till 11:30pm and making it out of the house with 30 mins to spare. I must say it was a clean house too. The new house is in total disarray … Read more
4 truck loads of stuff later and lots of physical soreness and 1019 furniture mostly moved to our new house 3 blocks away. (It’s a small moving truck and some tight alleys.) That’s what I call a long weekend. Now we scrub, patch, paint, and de-bedbug the boxes, kitchen things, and sundries before it heads … Read more
I’ve been decompressing with Season 3 of Battle Star Galactica and it’s amazing to watch this stuff. The first season was engaging in a way that few other shows have managed to transcend. The longer you watch the series though, the more cliche it becomes. I am now a firm believer in shows being writing … Read more
A little late sorry, but we did choose a house. It’s 3 blocks away from our current house. Now the fun of moving 8 people out of the house, 6 people into another house, and settling the new house. Thankfully the new house is uninhabited, so although we can’t actually sleep there, we can move … Read more
Man-o-man, housing drama is not fun! For those of you who don’t remember I live in a row house nicknamed 1019 with 8 other people inside the district, within walking distance of the Columbia Height Metro. I’ve now lived in the same house for the nearly 2 years I’ve been in DC, which I think … Read more
