What words and images cannot express

Category: Riding the Waves

I'd like to offer my sympathies to the students at Virginia Tech, and the friends and family of the victims of yesterday's horrible tragedy. I usually write long blog posts, or at least include interesting images in my posts, but...

Thinking Blogger Award

Category: For the Love of Wisdom

Shalini at Scientia Natura has bestowed upon me the Thinking Blogger Award. I'm honored. I've always thought I probably think too much, so it's nice to receive some accolades for it. (Normally, I see it more as a curse.) Fortunately...
