A. & I hit Wrightsville Reservoir today. I think this was our third time paddling there but the first time we managed to find our way down to the waterfall…: See the whole set in my Flickr stream… Honorary mentions that didn’t make the highlight reel: my pseudo-panoramic of the falls and our “vessel inspection” […]
We’re staying in a hotel for the competition. Instead of large conference rooms, this hotel has a giant courtyard. We’re one of a couple dozen teams competing to build a Tower of Babel out of Legos. Ours mostly works so far. If you stand under, you instantly know any of a dozen languages. It’s a […]

Each Wiki node is represented my a folder containing a plain UTF-8 text file, with metadata in a pseudo-RFC:2822 format: […] I chose this approach because the file format is […]

Via 802 Online: You look familiar… MySpace!? Normally this would be a relief because I hate people and don’t want to meet 99.9% them. But this is the second time I’ve seen someone from MySpace I actually wanted to meet but was baffled by what sort of etiquette might govern the situation and was nowhere […]
