This is the final push. You’ve probably seen the little black square on the side of my site for the last few months. They announce the winners on October 16, which means there is only one week left for voting. If you enjoy my site and what I’m doing, please take 30 seconds to vote …
I am not dead. I’ve been in Hawaii this week and took a break from the website. I’ve been going to movies, eating junk food and reading fiction. I’m currently waiting for some mail from the mainland to arrive and for a package I sent out to arrive. I’ll probably be here for about five …
Most of my readers haven’t been following me since the start of my trip. What I’m going to try to do is periodic updates where I can share some of the things I was doing/seeing one and two years ago, in late April of 2007 and 2008. It also gives me a good excuse to …

I just want to tell everyone about a new feature I added to the site. Starting today, and with the other Daily Photos on the front page of the site, if you click on the image, you will see a nice big 900 pixel wide version of the image. If you are familiar with such …
So…..now I am going to Musandam. Arun, who lives in Oman and met me on Twitter, came through and figured out where I had to go. The ferry company is in a very nondescript building with a temporary sign out front behind a tree With all the money they spent on the boat, they forgot …
Its 12:40am and I’m still packing stuff. I have to be out at 9am. I totally mis-judged how much stuff I had left. I totally forgot some stuff. I got a hotel room close to my house and am moving stuff in here tonight because there is no way I could put it all in …
