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.
I just read both the NY Times and Washington Post reporting on the weekend’s big Wall Street story, and–espeically after reading this story in the Times about The Heart of the Problem— I find myself remembering This American Life episode on the “Giant Pool of Money” which is floating around the internet and is by … Read more
We just lost another of the 1019’ers (or wait…is that Keefer’s), but perhaps soon we’ll have another. We’ll always have the memories. (Ben is getting union’ed in UK and left us saturday, he’s the one in the back middle of the picture.) Originally uploaded by lmoore1118
I recently finished Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong written by James Loewen, and while I admitted to reading several other history books as well, I think I’m rather more stunned by a single idea that Loewen’s writing so clearly and with such distinct reasoning catalyzed in my mind … Read more
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

The last major distraction of the smartphone was eliminated nearly as soon as we got to the beach as we went to the number 2 party place in Europe, Ayia Napa, just 15 mins away from the house we are borrowing for the week here in Protaras. Aiya Napa is like Key West, the French … Read more
Drink frappee, read, and eat 🙂 Sorry, it took me a while to get the post via email function setup so now I should be able to keep you all up to date via my iPhone w/ pictures (and maybe video). I guess I can add tinker as a 4th thing to the above, which … Read more
For those of you who’d like some pictures of my travels, I have been snapping touristy snaps with my iPhone to Flickr. You an check the stream at www.flickr.com/wonderfullyrich We’ve been the busy guest of Stavros and Despo, plus the family and friends. It Cyprus, but think Greek hospitality; lots of slow meals, napping, and … Read more
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
