1997

It was the first year I got a CD-RW, Netflix launched a DVDs-by-mail service, the Hale-Bopp comet made an appearance, and I learned about California because of a little group called Heaven’s Gate.

“Here lies the strong hidalgo whose bravery exceed…

“Here lies the strong hidalgo whose bravery exceeds so much that even death did not triumph over his life. He experienced all that the world has on his body, and to be sane in such an ordeal, he believed his fortune to be mad and lived as a madman.”

Marys Peak, the highest point in the Oregon coastal range.

Unmaintained in the wintertime so access is a bit tricky, but hiking from fall into winter with a reward of spectacular views at the top is unrivaled.

Happy Lunar New Year. It’s the Year of the Tiger for all those born in 1986 (or 1946).

Had never flown one until this week, but it’s super fun! This is a Synapse 140 from Prism.

ClearlyNo!

ClearlyNo!

Once upon a time, back when the ‘net was fresh, my best friends and I had a website. It was named after an infamous saying by our AP History teacher, Dr. Seitz. He would wind up into a blustering, lengthy story about the causes of World War I, and finish on a pointed, rhetorical question for the audience.

THE ANSWER (he would say) is CLEARLY NO!

Never thought I’d say it, but I’ve been feelin’ particular pangs of nostalgia for simpler times. So I invite you to grab a pepperoni roll, try to remember your locker combo, and step back into the world of ClearlyNo, a slice of high school circa 2004.

Was surprised to find this Motherpeace tarot collaboration with Dior. Not usually a high-end brand fan but this is pretty sweet.

Mom made a delicious rhubard upside-down cake. Tasty, light, and not too sweet!

Snag the recipe here.

Shizen

Shizen

In the English garden, a person seeks to escape from humanity into a natural space free of artificiality. In a Japanese garden, one tries to express, in a defined space, the totality of mountains and rivers.

Rhodes, Greece

A castle a day keeps the doctor away
    – Ancient Greek Saying

Rhodes is one of the easternmost Greek islands, located a stones throw off the Turkish coast. Covered with castles, rocky forests, and brilliant ruins, it’s a wonderful place to lose yourself.

Sri Lanka with Daisy Yoga

Sri Lanka with Daisy Yoga

Before departing on the Daisy Yoga retreat, I only knew of Sri Lanka as a country recently gripped by civil war and as the birthplace of female rapper M.I.A. Within hours of landing at Colombo airport and trekking to Kandy I found that the country is amazing, with picturesque views, friendly people, and delicious food. Our group of 14 spent two weeks taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the country before landing in Unawatuna to help repair a Buddhist temple and school hit hard by recent typhoons.

Winter in Tokyo

Winter in Tokyo

Winter in Tokyo is a special time as snow is rare and gives the temples an even more peaceful demeanor. Below are a few of my favorites shots from the trip. You can check all the photos on the web album.

Doppelgängers: Hallucinating Oneself

vanish microfilm

Doppelgängers: Hallucinating Oneself

An even stranger and more complex form of hallucinating oneself occurs in “heautoscopy,” an extremely rare form of autoscopy where there is interaction between the person and his double; the interaction is occasionally amiable but more often hostile. Moreover, there may be deep bewilderment as to who is the “original” and who the “double,” for consciousness and sense of self tend to shift from one to the other. One may see the world first with one’s own eyes, then through the double’s eyes, and this can provoke the thought that he—the other—is the real person. The double is not construed as passively mirroring one’s posture and actions, as with autoscopy; the heautoscopic double can do, within limits, whatever it wants to (or it may lie still, doing nothing at all).

Set back from the glitz and glamour of the strip are the twin peaks of Sunrise and Frenchman Mountains. Hike off that hangover or just take a nice stroll for a long distance view of the Las Vegas.
