On Tuesday I had the chance to help EcoGuide and Kayak Nature Owner Kurt Zuelsdorf guide the crew from a local Tampa Bay TV station, CW44, through Clam Bayou in Gulfport, Florida.
I’m not sure when the piece will air but I am confident that I am in several of the shots. It was a [...]
In February I was riding my bike in St. Petersburg and was hit by this guy. Thhhbbbt!
At the time of the accident he was on his phone and the first thing I heard him say was “Uhh I think I hit some guy on a bike and I’ll call you back” He did [...]
On April 12, 2009 (Easter) I became the owner of a new fixed gear bike, a GT Gutterball.
I had some alterations (look for the blue bits) from the stock design, new handlebars, changed the gearing, longer chain. Right now I’m running 53/16 gearing on both sides of the flip hub. One side is a single speed [...]
The moon has often been a focus of my attention. When I was in undergrad I had hope of doing planetary studies, but by the time I distilled the proper program I was too far advanced at my institution to change. I expected to enter into a Planetary Geology program for graduate school but marriage interfered.
I’d love to [...]
The past weekend I went to the 2009 Florida PreHeat regional Burning Man event. About 500 people were in attendance (or so I heard) at a ranch in Lakeland, Florida having come from places as far away as Miami or Atlanta.
From my experience it was closer to one of the weekend campouts that [...]
I have accepted a position in New York City and will be moving to Brooklyn later this week! (You should picture me dancing about bubbling with excitement as you hear those words) For those of you that hadn't heard it is a recent development... less than a week since the offer. So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...
Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...
I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
