This is me, on the left, and some friends at Newton Circus, in Singapore sometime in 1986 or 87. Newton Circus is a food center where you can get a variety of different food from individual 'hawker stalls'. Cheap and pretty good.
I spent my first year of college there and made some great friends.
I'm drinking Heineken and my friend to my left, Ian, is drinking Anchor Beer, a Singapore brewed beer, which is similar to Budweiser. I had just turned 18 a few months prior, which happened to be the drinking age in Singapore.
My wife thinks I have an Edward Norton look going on here...I don't see it.
This is a 15(?) year old me dressed up for my High School's Mardi Gras/Masquerade Dance. A little sharpening and a little saturation goes a long way.
Look How Skinny I used to be!
Okay… with the death of Neil Armstrong this weekend, we pay tribute to the first man on the moon. This was actually my first Lego set as a child. It is set 483, Alpha 1 Rocket Base from 1979. I think it is a fitting tribute to honor the fallen astronaut…
This gold mine situated in a rugged and picturesque part of the New England Tableland ranges was one of the longest operating in the area.
Operations staring off in 1888 within the first 24 months there were two main shafts 185ft and 113ft deep, and a winze to a further depth, of 80ft, which brings the lowest depth attained as 265ft. The machinery at the time consisted of a two-horse elephant battery, which gave place to ten head of stampers.
The earlier workings would see an average gold return of 2oz per ton, this increased to as much as 16oz in later years not to mention some larger rich specimens also being pulled from the reef.
Operations continued working at this location for almost 90 years. Since closing up in 1976 the mine as been abandoned and untouched with shafts collapsing we couldn't make it to far underground this time but will be back in the near future to try some nearby shafts
Was going through an old album with grandma. Here's one with my mother's mother (my grandmother) on the right, and my mother's oldest sister (my aunt) on the left. My aunt looks kind of like the old photos I've seen of my mom, which figures I suppose. But she also looks just like my brother, in a pretty kimono no less. And when I look at Sarah's face, I'm totally reminded of my brother too (they both have beautiful noses, and the most wonderful eyes). I imagine when Sarah grows up, she may look like this too.
Or, a vision from a dream. One in which time travel has taken me back to the old home town, Fargo, and I'm standing on the corner of Roberts St. and 2nd Ave. North. That's the former Carnegie public library building in the background.
However, this vision may be somewhat of a time warp, by 20 or 30 years. There were no streetcars running when I was growing up there.
Still, an image is worth a thousand words and gives a bit more concreteness than memories or dreams alone.
Flashback Days - Ngày của hoài niệm…
Thời gian…luôn là thứ mà người ta không bao giờ định nghĩa và hiểu được giá trị của nó. Đến rất nhanh – Qua cũng rất nhanh…rồi con người lại bị kéo vào vòng quanh của cỗ máy đó. Công việc – Tình cảm, có ai đảm bảo rằng qua năm tháng, mọi thứ sẽ còn bền vững, sẽ mãi như tờ giấy trắng ghi những nét mực đầu tiên. Một khi trang giấy đã ngả màu, thì lại tiếp tục một trang giấy mới lại được bắt đầu vẽ…
Và những cái còn lại trong suy nghĩ, trong trang giấy vàng ố là những hoài niệm và quá khứ. Vậy thì hãy sống cho hiện tại và trân trọng những cái đi qua…dù có thay đổi trong tương lai nhưng thứ đã trôi qua chính là một góc tâm hồn bị che phủ…

We celebrated the Whole Earth Catalog’s 50th Anniversary with many of its creators on October 13, 2018, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. The event was hosted by Stewart Brand, Ryan Phelan, Danica Remy and an amazing group of volunteers, including yours truly. At the event, we presented Whole Earth Flashbacks, a video history of this innovative culture, which I produced and edited with a wonderful group of 60 community contributors. Our half-hour video played all day long in their Gray Box multimedia theater.
In the evening, we played a shorter version of the Flashbacks video at the Cowell Theatre. I'm very grateful to all our core team on this project: Matisse Enzer, Phyllis Florin, Ahmed Kabil, David Lawrence, Jim McKee, and Susan Ryan, to name but a few.
The creative minds we featured in the video all had one thing in common: they gave access to tools and ideas to help people bring their dreams to life -- and change the world together. Many thanks to all the folks who organized and participated in this event! It was a wonderful way to honor a culture that helped change the world and that may inspire many others for years to come.
