The past 24 hours have been quite the thrill– but not a joy ride. My web host has been undergoing some updates and fixing server issues, and my sites had been unavailable from time to time. It was scary, because I was right in the middle of uploading! Thank you to all the people who [...]

…the OD [Utica's newspaper] notes that ‘Utica’ will be removed from the 2009 Boilermaker logo, and also seems to be lacking from the race’s website. Supposedly the organizers [...]

They are called “innovative” but they look crazy to me! Here’s a biodome. So cool looking!

…pull drinking water from the air, gather heat and electricity from the sun, and live completely supplied for in his geodesic sustainable dome. Somewhere in the mountain near Elko, Nevada, he seems to be doing just that. According to his [...]
