Going home.
I'm pretty worn out after wrangling with financial aid for 3 hours today, but wanted to drop a marker at the end of a pivotal week ( Read more... ) -
The DJ Booth in 10-Forward
I'm not generally in the business of embedding videos here (tumblr will be a different matter), but this thing is amazing. Yes, please.

Taoist Dirt Pagan
I took a nature writing class w/ Jim Dodge a couple of years ago. He's the one that inspired the shelter camping adventure that I wrote about a page or two back - the one involving bears with suspected amanita-induced madness, lightning-struck old growth doug-firs, and albino sasquatches. Jim is a self-described "Taoist Dirt Pagan;" I imagine ( Read more... ) -
The Dune Forest / The Moth
I spent last Saturday with my kid brother, Johnny, at the dunes out on the peninsula. He's a camper, and has been living out there since getting in from Tucson a few weeks ago. He also happens to be schizophrenic, according to the State of Arizona. All I know is that he's not very good at camping yet, but he likes it well enough (despite our ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Tired, but can't seem to sleep. I'm about 4 days off tobacco, and the insomnia is starting to hit pretty hard. I decided to do something with it ( Read more... ) -
date-stamp
I just wanted to stop in and date-stamp the following: rapid, deep change is happening. It's personal, it's systemic, and it's vital. The sense of it is overwhelming, and I can't see around the next corner; the tremors are in the tracks ( Read more... ) -
busy. realignment.
About a week ago, I put myself on the couch and made it a point to lay there, empty-minded, for about 30 minutes. It was really nice. The novelty of the experience, however, has me a bit worried. I may need to make a it a point to put my ass on the couch more often. October's calendar is looking pretty ugly, but then there's Halloween and a ( Read more... ) -
Yours truly on Google Streetview
Random Googleplex capture! Somebody at the Energy Authority was messing around with Google StreetView and caught me loitering around at Humboldt State's library circle bus stop. I'm standing in front of the pillar kiosk, gabbing on my phone.
(Edit: apparently streetview doesn't want to embed, so you'll have to click on the Map link below.)

Fat Bush Pics?
LJ pointed out on my dashboard that I haven't updated in like 18 weeks. Ok, I'm shamed. I'll post something.
Ever since gwynny and I ran across a motherlode of red huckleberries up on richy California street I've been obsessed with finding more free berries. Today I hit paydirt (paysoil?) - I found a nice thimbleberry bush on campus today. I ate a ( Read more... ) -
glaciers + canoes
This is a climate change and GIS nerd post. You've been warned.
An interesting development for our local student ASPRS chapter - we're looking at adopting a glacier (actually, a remnant snowfield) in the Trinity Alps. There's a glacier monitoring project based out of Portland State - we're hoping to meet with the program managers at a conference ( Read more... )
