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.
For anyone who doesn’t have enough reading for the day, I’ve had a new feature running in the side bar of my blog which might contribute to it. Cough…You say, MORE stuff to read? Oh, well yea, just the stuff that I pick up from friends, colleagues, and my random sources which are distinctly influencing … Read more
One of my roommates forwarded me a letter from Congressmen Reyes to President Bush, which is exactly what I’m advocating people start explaining.

Apparently the Alaska National Guard actually did fly a C-130 with presents to Kotlik not to long after I left. I heard they were considering it from Elise, but didn’t give it much thought till my Mom said they showed it on Channel 9 back in Denver. NBC Video of the event (Windows Media Player)
William Scott, (of antarctic infamy) asked me about cameras and as I wrote I realize some of what I was writing more people might be able to use some of these thought during this christmas shopping season. Bill, Good to hear you have taken an interest in taking timelapses, although I must warn you about … Read more
