A Time photo essay focusing on the women of Kabul.

If you guys get a chance check out the following e-stores i set up: Another Milliken Production Logo Xmas watercolor 1 Xmax watercolor 2

I opened up a virtual store for some of Adrienne's items. i only have a couple of things up, but i want to grow it. Let me know what you think, and by all means order something :)

i enjoyed this article on a relatively new form of anti cancer drugs. specifically, how they are creating some of these things is like science fiction

Autumn is here... I have posted a couple new pictures of Conrad and a second part to the poem Adrienne wrote about Connor. Oh, and I bought a truckload of Christmas lights today so the neighbors don't egg our house (although the egg might help our paint job...sheesh)

I found a cool everything you wanted to know about math type of site.

Wired pointed me at this site by and Afghan expatriate. It includes articles by Afghani's, art, poetry, etc... Good Stuff. While politics is frequently filled with lies and people pushing particular positions, I find the art, poetry, and music to be a much more personal perspective and one that frequently makes it impossible to hate.

Flea has a short story up that just cracked me up. Also check the status and excerpts from her novel writing madness.

Got this website from Ed. People are hiding treasures all over the place with GPS coordinates so you can use your handy GPS unit to find them. 91016 had 323 hits. Tempting...

{i've decided to avoid using caps for a while. i figure in my line of work, postponing repetitive hand injuries is prudent} flea turned me on to this poem today by anne bradstreet. last night while eating adrienne's lastest art piece [she rather quaintly refers to it as dinner, but i know better.], i started thinking about the creative process. see, one of the things that drew me to adrienne was the way she seems to be in touch with an inner light that i have always associated with creative people. everything she ,and these, people do is infused with this light. it smells better, looks better, and feels better. i stand mostly in awe. but i stand close hoping to find the secret. it occured to me last night and more this morning in my discussion with flea, that magic, inner light, and troubled boiling cauldrons actually have little to do with the process. it's more fleshy/sweaty/real than that. for me its more about dealing with self doubt. it's probably no good, no-one cares, people won't like me. sheesh. what do you think?

We found this guy trying to auction some of our rivets on Ebay today. Of course it's illegal and they were sold to the government, so I forwarded it to the legal people. So if you want to see them look quickly they may not be there long.

This little program takes your name and asks you some questions. It then tells you what your viking name should be be. Thanks Buck.

Yeah! We have another satellite circling Mars. 1 step closer to a manned mission.

I had never heard of Dave Hickey. Hmmmm. Now i have and I'm going to keep an ear out for the name.

Buck forwarded this comic strip to me today. Politcal humor with a blue streak. You were warned.

Another good article today. This one the text of a speech.

It's this kind of article on the Saudi monarchy that keeps me convinced I really have no idea what is going on in the upper echelon of politics.

Adrienne, Conrad and I went to an opening of a single man show for Steve Huston thanks to the tip from the Zucco crew (next door neighbor). I enjoyed the work. Especially a large one of a guy in a field with giant yellow billowing clouds behind him.

The Journal of American Medical Association has a bunch of articles posted on 5 different bioterrorism agents: Anthrax Smallpox Plague Boutlinum Toxin Tularemia Unpleasant reading, but EXTREMELY informative. I haven't been able to read all the way through them (they are LONG)

ok...those guys at the pentagon are comedians...I'm going to try to collect funny things they say. here are the first two. Donald Rumsfield: we're not running out of targets. the taliban is running out of targets.
