My Dad's House in HDR Photos

A Fabulous Reward..

...to the person who can identify this fungus (?) that appeared in my patio. It looks like a Swiss-cheese mushroom.
UPDATE: Chuck has identified the mystery mushrooms as morels (though we won't eat them just in case they are some super-poisonous look-alike), so he will receive a fabulous reward!

A Cute Bunny

This bunny dug a hole near my Dad's bedroom window. See other views of Dad's house at : http://picasaweb.google.com/bryant.colleen08/LosAlamosVisitApril2009#

What Chuck is Up to

Why did Chuckbert strap a Guinness can to his weather machine's tripod

So he could listen to canned radio!

i Learn iMovie

Last Friday America's most offensive church came to Harvard and had a little demonstration near the law school. I decided to take this opportunity to learn iMovie.

Yes, this is my Photographic interpretation of JC's work area.

Friday the 13th Squared

Today is the 2nd Friday the 13th of 2009. What does that mean? Are we in for a double whammy of bad luck? That could be, however, once we get to the bottom of the Wheel of Fortune, things can only get better. I think Lady Luck will be delivering some goodies soon.

The Invaders (in Color), cont.

OK, last night I watched the episode "Summit Meeting" in which a couple of the aliens had tiny flashing walkie-talkie-like devices. So they weren't entirely dependent on Bell.

At Last I'm on WorldCat!

I know it isn't very sharp. Here's the HOLLIS record. You can read my thesis on my wiki, if you've a taste for Leviticus and Jungian psychology.

Revisitng a Classic

Do you remember The Invaders (in color) from 1967-8? Architect David Vincent witnesses a flying saucer landing and, learning that its occupants plan to rule the world, spends 2 seasons trying to convince other Earthlings that the invasion has begun. I have been watching episodes from the 2nd season, wherein a few people have been convinced, but there is still so much more to be done.

It's great to watch shows you haven't seen for 40 years and realize how many inconsistencies you missed the first time. For instance, how does architect David Vincent support himself while he drives around the country checking out flying saucer reports? He always has nice suits and new cars. Does he do quickie designs between his investigations? Perhaps this is why the narrator always say "Architect David Vincent"; to imply that he does something else between episodes.

The aliens's talents and powers are strangely limited. They travel between galaxies, they can take human form (for 3 days, after which they need regeneration, they have little palm-held devices that kill humans by cerebral hemorrhage, but when they need to get in touch with one another, they have to use the telephone. One poor alien is overheard calling for help from his (its?) superiors on a pay phone.

They also make bad choices: they aim to make the Earth their own, but they can't breath oxygen. What to do? They'll try to alter their own chemistry, and if that doesn't work, they'll suck all the oxygen out of the atmosphere. Wouldn't it be easier to find a planet with a suitable atmosphere? I mean, these people hop from galaxy to galaxy. You can't tell me that there aren't planets better suited. They remind me of some human organizations that insist on doing things in the most wasteful way possible.

I would like to post a prom picture, but I didn't go to prom. This is a picture from my freshman year in college at a Mardi Gras party. I am dressed as a pregnant bride. I got the dress at a used clothing store.

Welcome to Blogland (the Blogosphere, the Blogscape)

My friends Julie and Dave, whom you probably know from previous posts, have started their own blog. Julie is a crack cataloguer, cook, and kayaker. I look forward to seeing some of her recipes. Dave is also a kayaker, as well as an engineer and robotophile.

Five a Day, Guys

Chuck and Jerry have been eating very rich food. They need to add more fruit and vegetables to their meals.
