Nothing
A little while ago I had an experience where I was rather struck by the roll of nothingness in, well, everything. Such a large amount of our world is empty space.

Moving to San Francisco

One month and one week. After that I will become a resident of California. -

I had this post in my head yesterday, but spent more of my day out enjoying the weather, and neglected to getting around to posting it. I'm not sure how much of the feeling I have left to post, but oh well ( Read more... ) -
Race Update

I definitely pushed myself to my limit. It was really good.
Now I need sleep.
