One of my pics from my travels in Michigan is on Slashfood today! Neat!

The plums are from Bargy’s Farm Market in Kewadin, Michigan.

The bowl was made by a good friend and excellent potter, Emily Murphy.

Thanks Marisa!

took some pics on the city of new orleans today - left the windy city last night and arrived in the crescent city this morning. forgot the good camera at dinner, doh, but i got a phonecam pic of my excellent mother’s po’ boy. mmmmmm tasty!

for train pics - i highly recommend using the machine gun setting on the cam - with a huge memory card - i took 160 photos today, most were duds, but i got a few winners.

was this blog dead that long ago that i never posted my mac pics?? ugh. i suppose so.

if you hadn’t heard (and if you’re reading this, you’re probably a friend, and therefore probably had…) i started sailing again this past summer.

it was a fantastic experience, culminating with running the chicago-mackinac race! that’s three-plus days on a boat, racing non-stop. totally badass. i’m gonna do this the rest of my life.

V for Vendetta is about terrorism, fascism, murder, and anarchy in the uk. it’s superb modern utopian lit, based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

A Scanner Darkly is the creepiest/coolest film about drugs I’ve seen since Requiem for a Dream, based on the Philip K. Dick novel.

both are incredibly stylish, serious, risky, entertaining, and unsettlingly timely.  grab them both and spend a couple of snowy nights inside. You won’t be disappointed.

saw this posted on boing boing today:

it reminded me that i’ve meant to post a link to my buddy dustin’s site, omar mung. he’s one funny dude.

The Time Traveler Convention - May 7, 2005

from the site:
Technically, you would only need one time traveler convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a specific place at a specific time, and they could make as many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the first and only Time Traveler Convention at MIT in one week, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Great idea, I’d love to help! What should I do?

Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history! A note: Time travel is a hard problem, and it may not be invented until long after MIT has faded into oblivion. Thus, we ask that you include the latitude/longitude information when you publicize the convention.

i freaking love this. i’ll be making clay tablets to help publicize this to future civilizations. i’ll post pics of the tablets when they’re done. any ideas on where to put them?

in the spirit of the old monogram.org categories… check these out! so cool!
