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.
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 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
I don’t know how many times over the last several years I’ve been asked how I can like Chipotle when it’s owned by McDonalds. Oy! Let me clear it up. Chipotle is not owned by McDonalds! Yes Chipotle was a subsidiary, but McDonalds divested itself of Chipotle in 2006. What’s more, it was a smart … Read more
