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.
Cyprus was a relaxing experience and one to which I realize that I am privileged enough to be able to put into my agenda. In this day and age of workaholics and a life that never stops, it’s more necessary then ever to regain perspective or just disconnect from all the responsibility that life teaches … 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
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
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
I got out of DC yesterday and spent several wonderful hours wandering around polyface farms in the Shenandoah Valley of northern Virginia. 3 hours of a drive from DC, it was well worth the trip as we managed to shuttle past the persistent rainstorm settled atop DC for the beautiful weather at Polyface Farms. For … Read more
My life right now is a tunnel vision of DC, governed mostly by living in a district where national policies are decided, but feel handed out. As I was laying in bed moments ago, I was prompted to arise by a thread of thoughts which reminds me how much we as a represented people need … Read more
I still try and practice the art of photography occasionally and it’s really to keep me sane then it is to win anything, but occasionally I get notice for random things. I put some of my photos on flickr and this one here in DC has been included on a virtual guide. Not much, but … Read more
My brother, who’ve I’ve only be back living with for 2 years now while we’ve both been in DC, is picking up to work in Burundi. He isn’t leaving till April 28th, but I guess it’s his turn to pack it up and go see the world. It sounds like it’s going to be just … Read more
