I'm all for the bacon delivery concept, but I'm betting that DARPA is entering the Burrito Bomber race. http://boingboing.net/2012/12/10/burrito-bomber-open-source-ha.html

He's one of the people that I trust to lead me into really cool places either rafting or climbing (and drinking). He also is recognized nationally as knowing his shit about rivers and rocks.

Shoes: Don't just get a trail runner, but find one where the tread blocks are also siped. Or cut sipes in them yourself.

I've already hassled my buddy at Color Kinetics who was working on this about the music choice.

Nicely done getting gypped. Watershed sells it for 100 bucks. It's about 25 L, but you can get much larger ones.

And the recent lahar that ran a similar distance hurt no one. There's a whole series of sensors down the path that close the highway and stop the train down below. Something that runs down the slope is a little easier to deal with than ejecta.

What if the land I'm on is likely to become an island?

"Doc, I knew that already, now how about the results of the operation?"

Work has a few very high ceilings. There's a ton of birds living in the rafters of some of the other buildings. Some intentionally, some otherwise (and about to be evicted by the boys campers showing up).

Kinda cool to read as I'm sitting under a skeleton of a Northern Fin whale.

"This is not the Red October!" + helicopter spinning it's rotors + catsuited Jo all it one episode = Piddle of happiness
