From the hotel room in Elizabthtown. I set the auto timer on the Canon 630 and set it on a shelf behind me.

At the moment I’m back in town, leaving tommorow and coming back on Tuesday. Photo below of my dad’s driveway, taken on Thursday.

Still uploading
Pesky large files. Anyway, here is some lovely reading material for you.
- This is the strangest article you will read this week. By a lot.
- Profanity across languages– the Dutch “May you get the measles” is my favorite
- Deadweight Loss / Excess Burden – if more people understood this, the world would be improved remarkably. Short version, it’s a cost to someone with no benefit to anyone.
- Human Powered Vehicles – a bike that goes over 40 miles per hour

Photo composition round up
If it weren’t for long uploads, I don’t think I would ever post anything. Here are the good sites I found while looking for info on photographic composition

Quote of the moment
From the comments of this post at Coming Anarchy
“generalizations are a willful display of ignorance”

There’s much to be said
for working until exhaustion sets in, and none of it good. Humbug.
I have listened to the first five Freakwater albums while I’ve been working on this particular project, it’s good stuff for the late night/early morning.

The Church of Global Warming
I’ve had these pages open in FireFox forever
- Average temperature of water near top of Earth’s oceans has significantly cooled – Global warming ‘speed bump’? see also
Dramatic climate changes during dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic Era – Relevant to current climate change discussion - Money and Environmental problems
- Nature Does Not Exist by Mathew Parris
The Parris essay is superb, and summarizes my feelings on everything perfectly. I’ve held off doing anything with the links until I can come up a more detailed ranting of my thoughts, but Parris says it much better than I could. Plus it doubles as my general thoughts on community based views of religion.

I’m sweating blood!
Or it feels like that anyway. I think I’m about to enter my busiest work period ever.
Anyway, for your amusement, check out this time-lapse map of the Middle East imperialism.
