From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_A6M_Zero#United_States
The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was a long-range carrier-based fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter (零式艦上戦闘機, rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the Reisen (零戦, zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was "Zeke", although the name "Zero" (from Type 0) was used colloquially by the Allies as well.
The Zero is considered to have been the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world when it was introduced early in World War II, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range. The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) also frequently used it as a land-based fighter.
In early combat operations, the Zero gained a reputation as a dogfighter, achieving an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1, but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms. By 1943, the Zero was less effective against newer Allied fighters due to design limitations. It lacked hydraulic boosting for its ailerons and rudder, rendering it extremely difficult to maneuver at high speeds, and it could not be equipped with a more powerful aircraft engine. By 1944, with Allied fighters approaching the A6M levels of maneuverability and consistently exceeding its firepower, armor, and speed, the A6M had largely become outdated as a fighter aircraft. However, as design delays and production difficulties hampered the introduction of newer Japanese aircraft models, the Zero continued to serve in a front-line role until the end of the war in the Pacific. During the final phases, it was also adapted for use in kamikaze operations. Japan produced more Zeros than any other model of combat aircraft during the war.

On June 3, 2014, supporters of Sanctuary for Families gathered at Chelsea Piers to celebrate our work and take a stand against gender violence.
I don't know if I'm going to try a 365 or a 52 or a 7 or none of the above, but it's new year's day and I was feeling inspired...
...that is until I spent the entire day doing APUSH. Nothing new, but it's pretty draining.
So, this is me, still in my pajamas at 5:45pm. This is what I do on the weekends.
The thing is, I know this is crap, because I look like crap and you can totally see that my eyes are freakishly uneven and my desk is a complete mess, but it's a starting point and maybe this will motivate me to get dressed on the weekends.
The other thing is that I never do portraits, let alone of myself and I'd like to start.
So this is the beginning of something.
What exactly, I am unsure.
Happy New Year Everyone.
Also. For some reason my camera date was one ahead of the real date, so I uploaded this a day before I took it...
I asked a mathemetician to help me understand "what is zero?"
He said "an empty container."......then he said, "now do you want to know what 1 is?"
SOL Austin: Net-Zero Capable

Beck-Reit and Sons Ltd., an Austin General Contractor, has been working on sustainable construction methods since the day we started building houses. Our desire to build a better house led us to develop SOL (Solutions Oriented Living) subdivision in East Austin. We partnered with local architect, KRDB, to design, develop and build a net-zero capable sub-division centered around a community of 40 modern homes. Thru passive design, efficient building envelope and solar power these homes can produce more energy than they consume. The homes have been rated 4-5 star by the Austin Energy Green Building Program. SOL Austin has received national attention and has been featured in the New York Times, Metro-Homes, DIY Network’s "This New House", Builder Magazine, and Green Builder Magazine.
