I’ve been having really crazily vivid dreams lately. There’s a bunch of elaborate storylines every night, but they all seem to share an aspect of tremendous physical effort. I’m either running flat-out to catch a train, or trying to lift construction equipment, or leaping through windows in desperation. I wake up feeling exhausted. Which is [...]

A fuller post is coming once I have a chance to decompress, but we drove 856km today to get into Ottawa just before dusk. It was another beautiful (but long) day of driving! I really enjoyed the freeway through Sudbury, and the 17 east of North Bay. There’s really nothing out there except beautiful endless [...]

Today the weather completely improved over yesterday – we had fantastic blue skies the entire trip from Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie. I felt for most of the trip like I was in a car commercial – shiny black car running along the mountain roads into the sunrise.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that I’ll be on my worst behavior this year at Siggraph in Texas… I’m so excited about being in a place where I can wear a dorky cowboy hat, a bandana over my mouth, and shout “DRAW!” every few minutes and actually fit in. Because I know that’s [...]

Some of the buildings in SanFran deserve a Ghostbuster demon at the top. This one in particular.

In case you haven’t guessed, yeah. I’m finally in the process of scanning in all the pictures I’ve been taking on my trips.

*grin* I’m just kidding of course. Ran into those famous old homes in San Francisco the other day while exploring, they’re called “postcard row” and they’re the houses featured in the TV show “Full House”.

I know you’re as excited as I am.

I ended up in a conversation about phallic landscapes with a friend of mine tonight, and ended up scanning in a picture from my trip to Arches National Park in Utah.
A little supicious maybe? Yeah.
Hey, I don’t make the landscapes, I just take them.
