Stephanie has been really funny lately: Vinta crack… #
We added a new cheese to our cheese cave this week, a 3-year-aged, vintage white cheddar from Tillamook, in honor of their 100th anniversary. It’s a two pounder, which is pretty commensurate with our homemade cheeses, so I decided to…
Stephanie and I are heading to San Antonio for Matthew and Beth’s wedding on Saturday. Update: this is how we carried our “luggage” from work in San Francisco to the airport in Oakland.
We got to my parent’s house in Austin around 2 in the morning last night. Woke up at 10 (we’re still on pacific time, natch) and repacked for the trip down to San Antonio. Dropped things off at Beth’s parent’s…
As the sun was setting on the Texas Hill Country last Saturday, my brother Matthew and his lovely fiance Beth were married.
On Sunday, as everyone who’d come into town for my brother’s wedding was heading home, Stephanie and I caught a flight to Salt Lake City. Before the plane made its scheduled stop in Denver, we had to circle the airport…
As soon as we got our bearings in Grand Teton National Park, we called to see if we could reserve a tent cabin in Colter Bay Village for Monday night. They had availability, which meant: we were staying in Grand…
It might have been those tent cabin cots, or the morning cold, or our full bladders, but we woke up early on Tuesday eager to get out into the park. We decided to start at the Leigh and String Lakes…
Wednesday morning we left our tent cabin in Grand Teton and headed north into Yellowstone National Park. We didn’t know what route we were going to take through the park. We didn’t know where we were going to spend the…
After visiting the geysers at West Thumb we drove in the direction of Old Faithful. We got there about 15 minutes before the next scheduled eruption, which usually happens every 90-120 minutes. I don’t know what was more exciting, the…
After seeing the satellite images showing Old Faithful surrounded by a semi-circle of parking lots, I was a little concerned that it was going to be one big tourist circus. But once I got there, I realized that Old Faithful…
This was probably one of my favorite stops as we were driving through Yellowstone, because it was so immersive and wet. The spring’s runoff into Firehole River Interesting hair-like formations Orange rim of the Grand Prismatic Spring A lava-like orange…
If you can believe it, the last four posts, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Old Faithful, Beyond Old Faithful, and The Grand Prismatic Spring, as well as this one, all took place within a single day, Wednesday, June 17th, of our…
We woke up on Thursday morning, June 18th, in Mammoth Hot Springs, at the very northern entrance of Yellowstone. Before beginning the long drive towards Glacier National Park, we took our time exploring the springs. The cloudy skies lent a…

I find this very amusing: Blythe Workin’ on the Vespa #
What does the art in your apartment look like…altogether? Do I know how to match? I kind of think I don’t #
Neato: keyboard bike grips #
Something worth considering: Online Personal Narratives from Patients of Murdered Late-Term Abortion Provider #
Very nice painting of an avocado on a wood block #
I heard from Tony and Terrie that there was a cheesemaking area at Maker Faire, how cool #
Quite possibly the best picture of Stephanie ever: Pou Bel! #
Nice photo: Diverging Lines near Allihies #
I, for one, am excited about the possibility of the Fiat 500 being available in the US: Supreme Court Clears The Way For Chrysler Fiat Marriage #
Can you “retweet” something outside of Twitter? I’m going to try:
Obligatory BBQ stop – awesome brisket at the original Rudy’s in Leon Springs, TX.
Whenever someone asks permission to “to publicly burn or destroy by another means” a book, it only makes me want to read it more. Baby Be-Bop is the book in question. (via kathpierce) #
I enjoy listening to people talk about what they’re passionate about: Style Sages: Gay Talese #
I’m not sure how old the original emails are, but this is still amusing: Getting sued… #
All my friends are growing mushrooms: Marcia and Joy (I can’t wait to join them!) #
Tony Stubblebine sheds some light on the early days of Twitter: The Real Lessons From Twitter (also see my post, Close encounters with Twitter) #
I went a few days without. It was nice. But now it’s back. Addiction. #
I wonder how the upcoming Olympus E-P1 compares size-wise to my Ricoh GR Digital II? (hmm, Pentax K-7 or Olympus E-P1…) #
Really enjoying Horse Feathers – Curs in the Weeds (here’s a video) and what is a Cur you might ask?
Cur refers to a mutt, a dog of mixed ancestry, typically characterized as one who tends to growl frequently rather than maintain calm.
More Horse Feathers: NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert #
I haven’t been up on my Capucine videos lately, but this one is pure joy: Merci, Krista ! #
I’m sorry I can’t help it, yet more Horse Feathers, Live in the Guest Apartment (really, I’m just plucking around YouTube and stumbling upon all these great bits) #
This looks like it might be good: It Might Get Loud #
Second time recently that “baked eggs” have come up: Rosemary Baked Eggs with Parmesan and Garlic Oil #
I found this painfully funny: 95 Percent Of Opinions Withheld On Visit To Family #
Cory Doctorow has an X200: Lenovo expanding Del and Esc keys, nuking Caps Lock #
I thought it would be ironic to sell a iPhone sticker that you could paste onto a Moleskine. But apparently you can’t use Apple’s PR product images for anything other than editorial. #
Looking for something other than Horse Feathers to listen to? Try Ezra Furman and the Harpoons – Take Off Your Sunglasses (kind of makes me think of Know Your Meme: Cory’s Sunglasses) #
