Here is a video medley from my full body MRI. My favorite part is the heart.
Gen and I got to compare our results - we both have big heads and hippocampi, but she is off the charts on muscle mass. Now we can measure who has the larger spleen (which is the criteria for picking which player goes first in Exploding Kittens)
I spent a full 2 hours in the Siemens MRI tube and got a lot of imagery. To get the video of my heart beating, they had electrodes on my chest to synchronize the imaging to the heart beat. www.healthnucleus.com Full disclosure: we were the founding VC investor in Human Longevity Inc.
The integrated report (with full genome analysis, microbiome, and body fat and blood tests) is in process, but from first skim of MRI, the good news is that Gen and I are free of solid tumors and aneurysms. That puts us in the lucky 70%. 30% of those scanned so far have one, including a good friend, 10 years younger than me, who is alive today because of this scan... as well as the first two members of the SGI board who took the scan. It is a bit tragic that we typically detect lethal tumors when we notice the symptoms, and that is too late in the cycle (as with my Dad and his pancreatic cancer).
Yes, hot air balloons are pretty in the sky but I think the preparation for takeoff is just as exciting.

After a 64 hour work week and not much sleep, a glass or two of this will put me down.
All of a sudden, she got a Bachelor in economics.
I believed in her, she did not believe in herself.
Hopefully, she will now understand her capacity.
The Geting fighter was used by the Aksjö remnant. Armed with both missiles and a machine gun it could take on air and ground targets.
The only thing I dont like is that if I would like to put her in a 2 piece bathing suit I wont be able to. She has a speaker holes on her chest. =[
I'm trying to get organized, I like having as many elements as possible on hand......this allows each piece to be one of a kind.
Taco is so funny, he runs around outside with the big dogs - where they jump over mud and puddles, little Taco ploughs right through them! He just loves to run and doesn't care about the weather. Below is the rest of the sequence - before and after bath!
I'm leaving for Victoria in Australia tonight - spur of the moment trip with a friend - maybe I should keep a look out for Snow White ;-). Hoping to have internet at some point....
Before I go, since so many of you enjoyed the pukeko tv ads, here is another tv ad made here for the Australian beer company Tooheys - the same animal trainer did this one. The vet my daughter works for is always the vet called in to supervise the animals for this trainer. This actually did happen as you see it in the ad, the deer were all taken in to the central Auckland city and run up the main street of the CBD! They also travelled by bus (see the vet sitting at the rear of the bus - nice looking young man!), and were in a central city apartment. The night club scene was filmed at the home of the man who bred the deer. The hardest scene to capture was the one where the stag kisses the doe in the window goodbye in the morning. This ad has not been seen on NZ tv despite being made here, it was for the Australian market and is still shown there. Each time I watch it I get more of the story, it's very clever!. Then one day earlier in the year I was at my hairdressers and the man seated next to me turned out to be the owner/breeder of the deer in the ad - he regaled us with some funny stories about the filming of the nightclub scenes! The ad is called The Great Migration -
I was recently contacted by Chris Pullen, the editor of this book:
www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415998673/
He is writing a new book about the "It Gets Better" project. He ran across my Flickr photo collage linked below, and asked if he could use it in his book.
I told him that I couldn't give him permission to use that particular collage because I don't own the rights to any of the original images. But, I offered to create a new collage in which I would get advanced permission to use the images from the photographers/subjects. For this new collage, I decided to focus specifically on friends that I have made here on Flickr.
I'm excited about being asked to participate in this project. And, at the risk of sounding mushy, I'm charmed that all of the individuals in this collage agreed to participate. I have made so many wonderful friends on Flickr who have inspired me and supported me, both creatively and personally. These are but a few who I am closest to. Unfortunately, I was not able to include every great contact I have made on Flickr. So, I hope that no one feels left out.
This is the final collage that I have submitted for publication. I also wrote the caption below, understanding that the author may or may not be able to include it and/or may need to edit or rewrite it.
"After joining Flickr.com, I quickly discovered that it's much more than a photo sharing site, it's also a social network. I have met dozens of wonderfully creative, and friendly people on Flickr, from all around the world. When I started seeing several of my Flickr friends post photos with the "it gets better" theme, I realized that it really does get better… not in spite of being gay, but because of being gay. Being gay doesn't prevent friendships, it creates friendships.
Chris Pullen asked me if he could use a collage that I had created of photos of family, friends and loved ones in this book. Instead, I offered to create this new collage specifically featuring Flickr friends from across the US, including Puerto Rico and as far-reaching as the Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Brazil."
From yesterday's prompt, I love books!

These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We woke to a better day after yesterdays cold wet day. Lining up waiting to go up the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Locally nicknamed "La dame de fer" (French for "Iron Lady"), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the centrepiece of the 1889 World's Fair and was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument with an entrance fee in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. The Tower was made a Monument historique in 1964 and named part of UNESCO World Heritage Site ("Paris, Banks of the Seins") in 1991.

The General gets ambushed, will the Clones take him down? See the stop-motion film at www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnKLYlm52-0
it played hard to get for about 5 minutes.
i did take a few shots with sunlight, but still, it's this one that turned out the nicest, considering the awkward positioning i had to endure for a few seconds..all worth it. :)
Hardly ideal conditions for photography as 45697 approaches the road bridge at Ais Gill with an unfitted goods.
211017 Arriva 221 heads past Sprey point and approaches Teignmouth with the 1V47 0807 Manchester Piccadilly to Paignton.Thought it would be a bit more windy today given all the warnings about of Storm Brian,however there was a reasonable swell running which was well defined.
