Islands of LA
This art project based on the concept of traffic islands as public space uses maps as one of many perspectives on the subject. Fairly standard Geo Mashup customizations are used in creative ways to produce engaging interactions. For a project with a limited budget, you may find it difficult to stop browsing, even if you’re…

Cerrillos Hills Bike Loop
Ann and I did part of this nice road loop last year. I figure it will be about 30 miles leaving from home. I wonder if I can ride 30 miles in two hours. The answer is no, but almost. I can, however, burn my neck, and lose the ability to walk or sit comfortably.

Wyoming CDT Photos
At last I’ve finished obsessing over my trail photos! Part of the reason it took so long is that I really wanted a “storybook” view of the photos – a way to browse pictures and captions from at least the three different hikers in chronological order. This turned out to be difficult, so I took…

The Gallows Edge – Climbing?

Local Bike Loop Variation
I try to extend my loop to 15 miles, with a lunch stop added in at the Pastry Tree. A bike ride is feeling like as good a way to break up my day as the little hikes I’ve been making to local coffeeshops.

Local Bike Loop
I try to find a way to connect the bike paths in town, while testing out the new recumbent. It’s definitely lighter and faster, but more skittery too. I have to learn to use the front brake more to avoid fishtailing.

Putting Flickr in Ordr
I’ve written a small web application for viewing Flickr photos in a specified order: Ordr. The main motivation is to provide a way to view Group pool photos in order by date taken. On my recent hike in Wyoming there were many good photographers taking pictures, all of them Flickr users. A Flickr group is…

Book: The Story of Mathematics / Anne Rooney
This book was on sale for 4 bucks at Borders when I had some time to kill. To my surprise, I read the whole thing. I have a terrible time keeping historical timelines in my head, but I love the perspective it gives (while I’m reading, anyway). I learn a few surprising things, like the…
