Actually, he looks a bit like Howard Cosell here... or Buddy Hackett... (at a dine in Monroe, WA)

What could be a more strange but reassuring sign of life than a cactus that flowers? These spiky, sometimes demonic, residents of the lower desert, can eek out an existence at these higher altitudes.

It is the experience of previous seasons that I know this beaver tail cactus, taking the anthropomorphizing shape of a human hear, will turn those pointy nubs into stunning pink flowers, even for a brief time of beauty, that a cactus could produce flowers tells me not to fret over the lack of irises or the fall of a bird.

My discontent can now be sprung.

I depend wholly on none, but double check between the Garmin GPS, the iPhone with Google Maps, and an old fashioned paper atlas/

This was my sign, spent a bit too much of the late hours hacking WordPress code.

I cannot figure out my neighbor's logic-- Is he selling surveillance? or Is Electronic Surveillance some sort of added bonus feature for what he is selling?

Good on ya, Audrey

A bust of Charles Sturt on the Victoria State Library. I learned he fought both Napoleon and the Americans in Canada, then found his way to New South Wales, and eventually an explorer. He tracked up the Murray River seeking a giant inland sea but found none.

.... with apologies to Wiliam Carlos Williams, of course, but this red against white seemed striking to me.

not subtle either; a sign at the home of one of my paranoid neighbors… Good thing I have a big lens ;-)

I'm not quite sure I have seen this color before, looks like a cross between the violet, yellow, and magenta colored flowers.

The second street lamp is not a lamp- it looks like it was time to service the spy camera.

Now that's a Hack!

This is an overhead light reflected off of my wide angle lens, sitting on a chair.

So great to meet Jo, one of our Kean University NetNarr students who shares with me a fondness of western film

Since.. 1993? 1952? 1933?

Conversation at the Barrancas

An afternoon hanging out with Todd Conoway. We met in Camp Verde, drove down to Phoenix, to participate in the Hack Your Education tour with Steve Hargadon.

The event was great, but I think the driving and talking was the best part.

On a wall in our dining room, my wife and I have begun collecting and hanging these plaster blocks of art. There is a music theme and it seemed natural to balance the raisin visitors up on top of a few of them.

Caught up with Syx Langemann who heard about our dead drop at Northern Voice- he requested a photo shoot for the one we set up in the Alley behind the Vancouver Hack Space

Something about the hallways and paintings in the Driskill Hotel have me thinking of the Shining.

I spent some time watching this herd of javelina root around in my neighbors lawn.

They are one of the most oddly designed creatures...

A neighbor lent us this cool toy which allows you to make impressions with little plastic rods (hard to explain). We're loving the faces we can make.

Inside the Old Chevy

(not recently).

The funny thing is that 1/4 mile down the road is a decent turn around, right around a Forest Service cabin
