The view from the top of the Pacific
This is a little old, but some folks might enjoy my photo expedition to Mauna Kea from 2008. Some things have changed — Saddle Road, for instance, is a lot better than it was even two years ago — but … Continue reading
Go fever
We left to see The Lion King last night in a cloud of despondancy. The new ash plume was heading southeast, looking to blanket the entire United Kingdom for another five or six days. Little improvement was expected. I blamed … Continue reading
Day 6
Still here. Last night, we thought we had a glimmer of good news, in that a bunch of flights were supposed to operate from London airports later today. That doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, and Iceland continues to … Continue reading
Greetings from Vilecano land!
Week 5 of my epic circle-half-the-globe-twice-in-a-month adventure started out swimmingly. We left Swansea on Wednesday night, spent the night near Heathrow, planning to wake up early and catch our flight to Amsterdam the next morning. Rode the Hotel Hoppa to … Continue reading

I keep meaning to finish telling stories about Europe 2006 here, and I keep putting it off — probably because the last entry took so long, and because I’ve been kinda busy since then. So I’m going to change things … Continue reading
Okay, what the heck happened?
I was gone for ten days. I went from this: Science World, Vancouver, BC. 10 January, 2007. To this: Kahalu’u-Keauhou, HI. 18 January, 2007. And back again. And on my return, I discover: there are giant potholes in virtually every … Continue reading
Random Europe photo #1
Below the cut because it was screwing up my formatting… Banks of the Rhone. Arles, France. I really promise I’ll get around to (a) finished the Europe stories and (b) putting pictures from Europe and Japan on-line Real Soon Now. … Continue reading
