Thunderstorm Season
Posted on June 23rd, 2006 12:06 AMPings (0)The other night Matt kept pestering me to grab my camera and get some shots of the approaching storm. I’m sure glad he did because I got about 3 shots off from the balcony before it started pouring rain and this one captured the lightning very well.
Winter is Here
Posted on December 9th, 2005 05:29 PMPings (0)Providence and southern Massachusetts got the better part of a foot of snow in the last twenty four hours. Everything is just totally covered. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a thunder and snow storm together. Definitely cool.
Sea Kayaking
Posted on October 16th, 2005 07:10 PMPings (0)Just got back from a weekend of Sea Kayaking in Maine. It was cold, wet, and windy. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
It is totally snowing.
And now we begin our long descent into the cold of Winter.
It’s about fifty degrees too hot for me today.
Mars on West Wing

A Martian Day
Posted on January 26th, 2004 02:03 PMPings (0)A Martian day is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds long.
The Opportunity Rover just landed.
With the unfortunate appearance in the news today of the problems at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex in communicating with the Mars Spirit, I decided to watch The Dish tonight.
Mars Direct
Posted on January 17th, 2004 01:39 PMPings (0)This has gone far enough. I’m getting sick of all the articles that have been appearing that denounce Bush’s Mars plan as unfeasible and too costly.
The weather in Santa Monica has been pleasantly cold, but I’m off to New York where it’s apparently rather warm for this time of year. Bah.
Earthquake
Posted on December 22nd, 2003 11:41 AMPings (0)A 6.5 earthquake just hit San Simeon. We could feel it all the way down here in LA.
There was a racoon perched on the roof as I arrived home this evening.
Something clicked this evening, and it felt like Autumn.
You are listening to Los Angeles
Posted on March 27th, 2003 08:35 AMPings (0)The wind is howling. Tumbling down the chimney.
Dolphins are crafty. They seem to have this amazing sense of when someone is trying to take a picture of them.

Problems with NASA
Posted on February 1st, 2003 04:53 PMPings (0)I feel as if I need to get more of this out. It also bothers me that NASA is doing a poor job of relating to the public (and perhaps inspiring more support). Even through their website, relating to the…
The California Coastal Records Project currently has fourty-four gigs of high-res images of the Californian coastline, 500 feet at a time. Check out the Santa Monica Pier, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Pointe Dume for examples….
Martian Gravity
Posted on September 19th, 2002 02:12 AMPings (0)Space.com is carrying a story about a joint project between MIT, the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Queensland, Brisbane which will investigate the effects of Martian gravity on mammalian development: “The plan is to build a spacecraft…
Despite the fact that it has been raining in LA, I must admit that I’ve rather been enjoying the evenings at school. The days are miserable, but once the sun goes down, it’s a strange and pleasant warm calm with…
