243/365 (August 31, 2011) – Did you know that if you hit the Fn+Command+left arrow keys all at the same time it takes you to the top of an open document in Word? I knew that, because I use a lot of key strokes rather than the mouse where possible, it’s faster. But I have been forced backwards in time…

242/365 (August 30, 2011) – No! Don’t take down the umbrellas! Summer isn’t over yet! Not for a few weeks yet. But why is it that as the end of August is upon us, and as school is about to start back again, that we all decide it is fall? Well, the sun is setting earlier and rising later, the…

241/365 (August 29. 2011) – Yes, it’s real. In fact it is a 5.1 mega pixel digital camera and it is all of about three inches wide. That’s a quarter next to it for size comparison. It is a real German Minox with a metal body and all of the levers and dials move and click. The eyepiece is removable,…

240/365 (August 28, 2011) – I love calla lilies. Enough that I used them two years ago for a wedding bouquet that I tied myself. They have clean lines, don’t pretend to be anything they are not. They hold a simple beauty that belies a strength of form. I like people that share these qualities. People who are straight forward,…

239/365 (August 27, 2011) – Kirk is still trying to get a bleeder in for the hydraulic steering for the boat so we aren’t leaving the dock until we can get the steering fixed. Sort of makes sense. So, what else to do on a gorgeous sunny day when you can’t boat? Why ride of course! Did we expect to…

It’s the end of August and we went South for a motorcycle ride. We ended up at the top of a mountain (a volcano actually) and found snow. You just have to love living in the Pacific Northwest, at least I do!

238/365 (August 26, 2011) – Nuts & bolts are pretty obvious things to put together properly, right? Why do people put other things together so wrongly so often? Humans make irrational decisions based on emotion, even when presented with rational information. We refuse to stop and think critically about the things we hear because we fight change so strongly. I’m…

237/365 (August 25, 2011) – There is power in numbers, but there is beauty in solitude too. “Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.” ~ William Powell Some people are comfortable in their own skin, in who they are and what they do. Other people seem to be…

236/365 (August 24, 2011) – No, there are no bikes in this image, The light was falling and we were enjoying the company of friends and watching the craziness. We rode out to Richmond/New Westminster this evening to watch some insanity. A friend was taking his mini-bike out for some fun, and a bunch of stunt riders were going to…

235/365 (August 23, 2011) Nothing much to say today. I spent the full day at the Cohen hearings being quite fascinated with it all. I wish I could spend the rest of the next two weeks or so at the courts since I did some work on the microarray that is on deck tomorrow, and I know most of the…
