Threw in a little orange. Hope that works.

The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
You've been working for weeks on this and you're really optimistic about it, but when you arrive at the theater the day everything has to pay off and you see the empty seats looking at you, then you realize you have a responsibility.
Hours of preparation pass, really quick, and a uncomfortable feeling grows in your stomach. The last moments before the show starts arrive, sooner than expected, and there is nothing you could do about that. The murmur of the waiting public, too many people, annoys you, and as if it were a fiction story, the rain has come to salute as well.
Suddenly, someone opens the door, and a bunch of people take their places. Some of them don't have a seat and they occupy the stairs. And then the show goes on. It didn't go as you expected, but it finishes with a warm applause.
When it's over, you start thinking with normality. The main feeling is that too many things that were designed and developed, too much effort, have not been used or shown during those 20 minutes, the minutes that really count. But it wasn't a failure. It was a success. At least you think so, and that matters a lot.
And then you realize, this pain, this anxiety before the start feels good afterwards. It's kind of addictive.
(Note: this picture was taken on December, when I visited the theater for the first time to check the lightning. I took exactly the same picture yesterday to use it for 365, but my camera got stolen afterwards. I hope you understand.)
I completed my Project Flickr!

I was inspired by something I read on the internet, someone making a night light out of an old Millenium Falcon shell.
So I set out to make a Thomas and Friends night light for my son, using one of his "spare" Thomas toys as the base. The toy was taken apart in January and I finally got around to the hard yards a few weeks ago. A bit of a learning experience, lessons learned about what I should have done in the first place but I am quite chuffed about how it turned out.
Space inside was definitely at a premium which made for tricky work. It was meant to be for his birthday later this month but he spotted it in bubble wrap high on my bookshelf and there was no stopping him .... the night light has multiple colours but he decided he wanted a greenish tinge to it for now.
I love this picture of my niece Jenna. She was colouring a picture at the kitchen table when I took this picture, I thought the light was beautiful on her face and she has such beautiful eyes.
Another project completed. This time is was the bathroom ceiling. My sister and I painted the walls the day after I moved into the house. We were just too tired to do ceilings!! Got rid of the semi-gloss sheen on my ceiling and now have a fresh brilliant flat white to help the bathroom seem brighter!
following reports in 2004 that the rajasthan tiger population had dwindled to only 26 tigers and all of them within ranthambores reserve - comittees such as project tiger and increased security from the indian government has helped to decrease the losses and has seen a healthy incrase in cubs born, plans now include re-settleing the tigers into other areas
I've just had an identity crisis and have updated my dolly blog and website to projectdollhouse.com (giving Les Jeunette a bit of a break)
:) Please drop by sometime !
I got frustrated with my lack of a proper workbench in this tiny apartment, and having to constantly put my arduino projects into a box when I wanted to use my desk for something else. I took an Ikea cutting board, and drilled mounting holes in the standard Arduino pattern, and bolted 4-40 machine screws through it. This allows any arduino to be bolted in place, and any shield to be mounted, without causing it to tip over. To easily access the headers on both sides, a pair of breadboards were glued. Now I can just put the whole thing on a shelf, and pick it up when I have the time again!
I saw a Dodge Challenger parked at the empty lot near my work and saw a nice shot of it during sun down. Today I worked overtime today so it was an 8 hour shift with 1.5 hour over time. My brain was dead by the end of the day and I just jumped on my bed and knocked out.

21 February
Bronzed.
Shining in the warmth.
Weather worn and sun drenched,
Your branches begin to reach.
They crawl
Through tangles of wind
And quiet whispers of
Renewal.
Seasons
Passing like cold moonlight;
To sky painted in soft pinks and purples;
On to hard rays that
Make tears in your eyes;
And then come the fiery reds and oranges
Like leaves falling,
Following the sun through dying sky;
And again the snowy silver
Of a new moon;
But it is aways new,
Always sweet,
And that is what we miss
When we forget the roots.
Haircut, sunlight, honest conversations.
Beerlao, lao-lao and a lot of eating
We went to Laos without much planned and low expectations. Spent some time at the sleepy capital Vientiane and met with Lenny, our Australian engineer friend working on a few water resources projects around Laos. After a short visit to Vang Vieng for some rock climbing and kayaking (no tubing for us old farts), we met again in Paksan to volunteer on the construction project for a fish passage. We enjoyed our time there with the local construction crew that fed us and took us drinking way too often – we ate their backyard raised duck, some boney goat, cow gums and chicken head soup. We kept heading south through Konglor, Savannakhet and Pakse before a long bus ride back to the capital.
This week's assignment was REALLY difficult for me!!! I tried panning these pelicans and that turned out pretty badly as well. I never realized how fast a pelican can fly!!!!! This is my third and last entry and I will be honest, I am glad!!! Right now panning and motion is a bit over my head with my skill level but hey I tried it!!
