Here we are at Carnaval a few weeks ago, courtesy of a former co-worker I ran into. I look kind of goofy, but you already know what I look like.

Dog of the day, October 31, 2002. I can say nothing. Just look at it.

Pictures are up. I need a better camera, better gallery code, and a better photographer. So much to do...

Seattle pictures are up. I rejected the 50 that were unworthy.

From my front patio last month:

I can think of several different ironies in this billboard, but I'll just let you come up with your own:

When my time comes, I would like to be remembered with a billboard behind a Walgreens:

... not. Just give some money to the ACLU or something. Things like this are just tacky. No park benches or bricks, either, no matter what they're building.

Update: That is not a picture of Hurricane Isabella. It is not, however a fake; just misrepresented. It is apparently from Cyclone* Graham in the Pacific Ocean about 6 months ago. Link 1 and Link 2.

In the Pacific, a "hurricane" is a "cyclone." Otherwise the same, AFAIK.

I don't know where the picture came from, but I saw it on Victor's weblog.

That is awesome. Respect nature, kids.

From the same guy as before, pictures of his trip through Hong Kong, Yunnan, and Tibet. Those are even better than the other ones. I am so jealous.

Check out this cool owl that was hanging out in our backyard last weekend:

I found this cool moth in our garage:

We came across about 10 of these birds wandering around a nearby neighborhood:
I'm pretty sure they're Helmeted Guineafowl. There was an old sign on someone's lawn saying "Guinea Crossing," so I assume they're someone's pets and just roam around. Pretty strange.

I saw a pair of these birds in my neighbor's yard this morning:

I also made a larger collage of several images that's too heavy to post on the front page. They're clearly some kind of wading bird; unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any shots of them in flight; they have impressive wingspans. I'd guess they were about 18 inches tall standing fully upright. I'm not sure how clearly you can see some of the details; they have a reddish orange rim around their eyes and a thin white crest. I've never seen them before, so I'm guessing they're non-local migrants.

We're going to LA later this week. One of the things we're going to see is Griffith Park, which burned a few months ago. If deer had final words, I think I can guess what this one's were.

I don't think this is the intended manner of use for shipping containers.
