Ultimate Logo

This is for my Ultimate frisbee pals who happen to be following me on Twitter.

I had to take Gillian's picture of Matt and turn it into a logo. I just had to!

Iron Man sings about Continuity

I remember when I used to visit the public library, check out a floppy disc from the desk ("Kung-Fu" or "Oregon Trail"), and sign out a computer for an hour. There's a part of me that misses the clackity-clack of the charcoal grey keyboard tempered by the smell of old paperbacks and the coolness of the dark brown bricks, transporting me from a humid, horse-fly-filled August afternoon in Minnesota into an action-packed world of colors and bits.

When my allotted time came to an end, I'd close the program, slide the 5 1/2" floppy back into its protective (tyvek?) sleeve, gather my books (Choose-Your-Own-Adventures, strange tales of North American cryptozoology - Mothman! Goat Sucker! - thick, dinosaur-rich books on paleontology, Superman anthologies, pocket-sized Heathcliff, the not-Garfield, collections) and wait in the air conditioned lobby for my mom to return from her errands. Then we'd head to our home on Marth Road.

As the evening cooled a bit, I'd grab my white and pink "L.A." skateboard and ride on my belly down the hill in the neighboring office park. Sometimes I'd try to do tricks like hopping up onto the curb but I'd usually just end up bashing my bare ankles.

Then dinner.
Then I'd climb the hollow tree outside by the driveway (once, I was surprised by a raccoon inside the tree and fell off - every time I climbed it after that, I secretly hoped it was still there).
Then I'd dive into my new books for a while, lingering on realistically rendered images of Parasaurolophus and Brachiosaurus, grainy images of Bigfoot plodding through the Northwestern rainforests, and running out of placeholding fingers in my CYOA books.
Then bed.

First Day in Houston

So, I'm here in Houston to pull an exhibition out of a repurposed prison, so I thought I'd share a bit of my trip with y'all.

Stack o' yearbooks.

A crawdad senses its imminent demise.

The aftermath, complete with gore-stained fingers.

The air was warm and smelled like alfalfa.

My Time in Louisville: A Brief Pictorial History

klaatu barada nikto, y'all!

Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still, seen at the Robots exhibit at the Louisville Science Center - my reason for being here in the first place.

Outside LSC, a giant dish made of small mirrors looms over the entrance. How could I pass that up?

Tiny anti-skateboard spikes embedded into the sloping staircase outside the Louisville city hall.

Architecture - old and new.

My hotel lobby, complete with hovering alien observation probe.

Those particular elevators had a rapid rate of ascent and made for an exhilarating ride after sampling some of Kentucky's finest bourbon.

Louisville, I didn't expect much from you, but you didn't disappoint. Maybe I'll catch the Derby some day.  Until then ...
