Our UdG colleague Pedro took us to meet a fascinating group of people at this Guadalajara Laboratory experimenting with new kinds of material science. Learn more about their open laboratory approach at inmateriis.com/

I had breakfast today with a friend who works in Peru, who gave me a gift of this expensive, traditional hat (okay, he said they sell them on the street for about a dolloar).

These little binoculars are among the favorite conference swag, from an ELI conference a few years back. I keep 'em on my window sill to spy on the birds.

Connecting to #Netnarr Class from Vancouver

The sixth annual mountain bike race in Pine / Strawberry Arizona that raises funds to protect the communities from forest fires. The 15 mile course climbs the steep Hardscrabble Road from Pine, up over Strawberry Mountain, into the town of Strawberry, and back down single track to Pine. Racers do 1, 2, or loops.

These photos are from where I volunteered at the turn from Forest Road 428 into the private ranch land leading to the climb over the mountain top. Learn more and maybe ride next year at fireontherim.com

Too much grading to get out and shoot on this rainy, dark day. In my mind, I am back again at the Oregon Coast on those remote and near empty beaches...looking to see what the Japanese tsunami has brought to us today!

This was my Dad's watch when he retired from the job he held before working for HUD as a construction cost analyst. I'm having trouble reading ther back, but I think it says:

In the middle is the new connector fashioned for me by my friend Ken in Paonia- The USB from the power supply yo the router is now hacked to include a switch (bottom, yellow/orange cord) and an LED light (top, green cord embedded in styrofoam square)

Born the size of a tea cup, for their first month cubs use all their energy to feed on their mother’s milk. By the time spring comes, the cubs have opened their eyes, grown teeth and fur, weigh around five pounds, and are ready to venture outside the den.

A quick visit to the critters at the Fossil Creek Ranch, where they have llamas and goats (and tremendous cheese and fudge from the goats).

I learned today from John the co-owner that the main duty for the llamas is keeping the coyotes and javelinas away from the goats.

I started my ride today at Clint's Well, and headed north on the Lake Mary Road because its the closest decent road with a shoulder… and it is one of the most lovely highways in Arizona. If I get in shape, I made ride all the way to Flagstaff!
