Aurora Borealis Again!

It happened again! A very energetic sunspot blew a nice blast of plasma directly toward the Earth this November and it created an unbelievale auroral display in Washington. Tim and I managed to get our cameras running at the peak of the storm. November 7, 2004

A directly Earth-directed X1 flare blasted past the our magnetosphere last night around 7pm on up to around midnight, and oh my what a show it was.

Learnin' CSS

I've never been really happy with the look of the main page of my photo albums. So after perusing the CSS Zen Garden site, I decided I would try to use CSS instead of fancy images and tables to do the site.

Lots of progress on the Master Bath

After months of not seeing a whole lot of progress, a sudden surge of work has occured. My dad came up last week and we cut the wall we intended to make a half wall and taped and mudded the drywall. After a few more coats of mud and sanding, we're essentially ready to begin tiling, which is very exciting.

The shower stall is covered in almost-raw latex which dried a deep blue, almost black. This will provide the outermost moister barrier under the tile.

Random Image Finder

Someone else actually did this, but I enhanced it a little bit.

What is it? Its a Random Google Image Finder. It will search google for random variations of digital camera file names.

What's the point? Well, its very interesting the things you find people take pictures of. There seem to be a few common events that people take pictures of, yet some things are totally out there.

Aurora Borealis

The third largest recorded coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun slammed into the earth around midnight on October 28 spurning the intense aurura all the way from California to Goergia. For a short period, the aurora was visible between the clouds in here in Bothell. managed to get some photos before the clouds closed in completely.

Naches Peak Loop

Cohen and I went on a gorgeous hike at the Chinook Pass summit this Sunday. I read that this was an easy hike and I knew Cohen would enjoy himself so we decided to go.

The hike was extremely easy, but the payoff was amazing. From small unnamed ponds with green/blue water to the imemnse Mount Rainier, there was eye-candy abound. The fall colors were starting to appear, with lots of vibrant red ground cover.
