We’re back in Kyoto for about a week. We arrived yesterday evening (local time) and got up early today for a whirlwind trip to Tokyo to see our friend Rafael. I’m about to crash from jet-lag so I’ll just cut it short here and preset this photo of Fuji-san, shot from the window of the [...]

Here’s a photo of my most-recently completed modular origami project: It’s from Tomoko Fuse’s Unit Polyhedron Origami. It’s 120 units folded from rectangles. I don’t really time how long it takes to make things like this, but figure about three minutes for each unit and about two to three hours for the assembly. Assembling it [...]

Because the web can never have too many photos of cats, I’ve just uploaded a bunch of photos of our numerous cats to my Flickr site here. They’re not in any particular order and there isn’t any particular theme or whatever–just snapshots of the clouder taken over the last few months. Tweet

I noticed on the first day that some of the trees nearby are starting to change color. Personally I’m ready for a change in season. It’s been [...]

If you have geek curiosity, the incident report for my web host is here: http://status.mediatemple.net/incidents/2258-east-coast-latency/ UPDATE: apparently it’s the server itself and not the network. “We’re working on it,” they say.   Tweet

I’ve been remiss in posting photos of flowers this year; actually I’ve been somewhat remiss in even taking photos of flowers this year. Our burgundy day lillies came into their own this season but it seems that they went entirely unphotographed. Oh well; they’ll be back next year. The star this year may be the [...]

I ran across this by accident on YouTube this morning. I first saw it several years ago but it’s still mind-blowing: Tweet

We drove up to Ranchester, Wyoming last weekend to visit Tracie’s parents. While there I took some photos in the Tongue River Canyon, which is a few minutes’ drive from their house, which I’ve placed on my flickr page here. There’s also a panoramic composite image stitched together from seven overlapping photos. Tweet
