Things are a bit slow here at the moment, so I bring you this picture that I took last night out my hotel window: Unknown Church in Eindhoven

This actually has nothing at all to do with Halloween other than the time stamp on this picture. Took a little trip to Indiana Dunes State Park and captured this gorgeous industrial horizon sunset. Mmmmmmm… pollution!

This post is one of pride as well as shame. I purchased a “Bag of Crap” from Woot. For the uninitiated, Woot is a site that features one item (often techy) for sale every day, available until midnight central time or it (occasionally) sells out. Then, there is the Woot-Off…… Continue reading →

GPS tracklog overlay. The above was made at GPS Visualizer. It makes some very nice plots, and has a lot of configuration options. The only downside is that because it’s all done through a web interface, there’s a lot of slow iterations to find the settings that work. In that… Continue reading →

Every other Wednesday throughout the summer a group called GRASP – Grand Rapids Area Sport Paddlers – “organizes” an evening paddle. Yesterday was the first time that the opportunity and motivation coincided and I decided to attend one. Josh, Megan and Claudia were also there, so we had our own… Continue reading →

First extended weekend of the year = first kayaking trip of the year. At least that’s the goal. With this in mind, on Tuesday, I put out a suggestion that I wanted to do some version of the Mackinaw City to Mackinac Island / Round Island trip. It’s short notice,… Continue reading →

In preparation for WMCKA next weekend, I figured I’d better get some paddling time in. I also wanted to get a bit more time paddling the fiberglass boat, which despite being the same design as the plastic one, handles differently.

Tour of Asia 2: The Pictures The last entry was posted with some haste due to a departing plane. Also, these two combined would result in an overly long entry I think. So, here we have some additional thoughts, comments and pictures from my second trip ’round Asia. We had… Continue reading →
