For those who are interested…

I’m playing around with Google Earth. I’ve manually created a .kmz file for Google Earth that shows the locations I’m going to be visiting in the Pacific Island part of my trip. You can download it here. I eventually want to automate the .kmz file from the posts on the website, but I’m not sure …

Vegas Part Deux

Life in the form of a U-Haul

Well, I’m loaded up (mostly) and I’m off to put everything into storage in Wisconsin.

Feeling like 953,988 bucks*

Eat Cheese or Die

I’m in Wisconsin right now updating on a dial-up connection at my parent’s house. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be shuttling back and forth between Minnesota and here moving boxes of books and other crap I’ve accumulated. The house has been up on the market for only a few days but it’s getting a …
