On Thursday I headed to Stoney Point with Victor and another friend. This friend was an experienced rock climber. At one point on the climb our rock-climbing instructor taught us how to scale a boulder. It took us about an hour (and watching him do it twice) and many scrapes and bruises till we could […]
new site
Well, the new site design is done…sort of. Still have to work out some kinks in a few places (including the other blog pages)… but overall I think this is done. Now time to get started on the dreaded longimage.com redesign! oh – and ps – I got my rejection email from UCLA this week. […]
travis
this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. I’m listening to it over and over on LastFM since I lost my mp3 copy (somehow…). I’m listening to it as I put the (hopefully) finishing touches on the new version of this site. I hope to launch next week. …..stay tuned…..

I remembered that it was my favorite museum – but I also remembered it being much bigger. Unfortunately the garden was mostly closed, but we managed to see some ducks on the […]
Maybe I’d watch more tv if we had commercials like this

I finally started reading Blink yesterday. After Byron recommended it to me way back in April of 2006 I tucked it away in the back of my mind to check out some day. As I was describing the content of the book to a watermelon fan in conversation recently it hit me that since the […]

On Thursday after work I met up with Kent to hike as we usually do. We had chose Griffith Park as the source for our inspiration. We parked at the lot on Fern Dell Drive and proceeded up the road. When we came to the intersection that lead up to the Observatory we headed west […]
