In Sept, 2007, on the northern most side of Japan’s northern most island. An island from which you can actually see Russia, even on a bad day, we headed out in the dead of night to an organized Fish Owl shoot. My old Canon flash gave up the ghost somewhere between Taichung and Tokyo. Luckily […]
This is the most awesome shot ever of the little known Kung Fu Shearwater, These birds train year round to prefect their Kung Fu techniques. Caught off the coast of Bar Harbor, Maine on a whale watching tour.
The next weatherman who lies to me and says it’s supposed to be cold is going to get a Hiking Boot Enema. We’re now hopelessly overheated and sunburned. Dressed for 60, real weather is 80. Gack! Had a nice trip to Baker Island National Park. Participated in the National Park Service “Feed the Mosquitos” tour. […]
Had an excellent day exploring the island today. We went all over the place, but I only felt like bringing out The Beast at one set of trees that were heavy with little birds. We forgot bug spray and paid for it. Birding was slow, but we’re doing well. And a bad day birding is […]
These are the first pictures from our trip to Florida and the morning we spent boating on the St. John’s river.
We didn’t have much net access in Japan. I posted a bunch of stuff on my LJ but I couldn’t get it posted here until now. It’s in reverse time order. I hope you enjoy it. Still processing pictures. I’ll post tons here once I get the site updated. Finally getting over jet lag, so […]
Didn’t sleep much last night. The Uber suite at the China Trust near the Taiwan airport had rock hard beds. One large solid block of wood with a millimeter of foam on it. Flying into Narita was uneventful, and the train was long time to get to Yokohama. First pass through Tokyo. No sign of […]
Journey to the airport The cab showed up 15 minutes early and I wasn’t able to have my normal fried egg breakfast. I rattled me so much that I forgot to grab my big camera. I didn’t realize until I got through security at National that I missed it. I am a seasoned traveller. I […]
I’m testing a new plugin from Alex Rabe. It’s alpha, but it looks very promising. I’m testing it out with some pictures I took at a Falconry lesson in Ayre, Scotland in August 2005.
We’re heading for Japan for Worldcon. These night shots just make the whole thing look awesome. link
Saw a great panel at WorldCon on stuff too weird for Sci-Fi. If I wrote this in a story no one would believe it. Saturday night I’m covering the Hugo Award Nominees Party (a.k.a. The Hugo Losers Party) when I almost make an ass out of myself. I blew my introduction to David Brin but […]
My plan this week was to listen to podcasts as I worked. After each podcast I would call in to their lines and leave witty comments. Fah! Who has brain power after war driving all day. What? I hear you say, “Don’t be a pussy, you could have been doing real work.” Well it doesn’t […]
