sporte | April 23, 2009Usually, I'm kind of a hermit, but I heard there would be Bacon and so, I'm going to leave the house next Weds, night and attend a science blogging event at the University of Washington.

Keith Seinfeld, KPLU, Science and Wonder

But the day was gorgeous, the weather perfect, so I took the opportunity to do more photography.
