persona
I saw this Persona series a while back on Gizmodo and liked it, but was reminded of it again today when I saw it in video form. This guy sells popsicles across the street from my brother’s apartment. I bought a Mojito pop from him and it was delicious. I need to stuff more interesting […]

manual labor
As you may know, we’ve been living in the communications dark ages since we moved to Orford. In November of 2009, I installed one of these on the house to bring a cell signal inside. I’m not sure why the price on these has jumped, but I definitely didn’t pay $450. With a reliable signal […]

fairlee fireworks finale 2011
We had a pretty great holiday weekend. It was Fairlee’s 250th anniversary so they went all out.

oopsie
My original attempt to record a mountain bike ride a week and a half ago was more or less scrapped. It was dark and rainy and wet in the woods. All of which conspired against the camera. My ham handed manipulation of the controls meant I missed quite a bit of the ride as well. […]

Covered Bridges 2011
5th half marathon – done. No rain this year, which meant sun. Which was strong at the start. A bit warm, in the 70’s which made things a bit slower than last year. But still a good run overall. I’m struggling with the hydration issue…overdoing it I think. I get hot and then want to […]
