I can’t help waxing poetic about one of my favorite weather phenomena, especially after seeing this beautifully crafted time-lapse homage to the famous San Francisco fog. Read more →

The Big 34
I just put up some captioned photos from my birthday party. I was gonna write a big thing about it, but photos are far more interesting aren’t they? I will say that when you have birthdays like this one, it almost makes getting older something to look forward to! A small group of close friends laughing the night away. Perfect.… Read more →
Plastic Airliners
A post over at Cockpit Conversation got me thinking about the 787 Dreamliner, a new all-composite airliner from Boeing.

It seems I’m one of the few people in the northern hemisphere that doesn’t play poker on a regular basis. It’s more for a lack of time than invitations or interest. Some folks get pretty serious about the game. Dan has his own Yahoo group for poker nights, and even went so far as to build a table — the… Read more →
