The lighthouse plan didn't work out so well. Instead we went on a back roads tour. We visited the "lost coast" of California...and saw lots of redwoods. I took three rolls of film.

greetings from the road! skp and I are in Fort Bragg, CA. Our tenative mission is to see a bunch of lighthouses on the California coast...it seemed as good an excuse to explore this area as any. Tomorrow we're going farther north. We've been to the Point Arena lighthouse before, but we stopped again anyway. And we saw whales! I'd never seen them before. I took a few pictures with my 35mm camera's zoom lens. I hope they turn out.
oops. I think today's post on matt's site was supposed to go to our internal Pyra blog. We can't have nice things! ;)
ooh, I almost forgot the birthday pi
jason turned into a 27-year-old yesterday too.
the birthday haul: wee binoculars to take with me while hiking, a 58mm neutral density filter for two of my camera lenses (perfect for sunsets), a teeny tripod, a beautifully hand crafted jezebel postcard, snaps and fries, a pointer to this great portrait of Bertrand Russel, several nice virtual happy birthdays, various and sundry cash (thanks mom and dad) and prizes. Thanks everyone (especially skp!), it was a great birthday. :)
Today is my birthday. I'm 27. The same age that hendrix, morrison, joplin, and cobain died. Luckily I'm not addicted to any dangerous drugs. (does caffeine count?) Although I am living a rock-n-roll weblog lifestyle: coding by day, sleeping by night. just try to slow me down. you can't. I don't know the limits.
Only 45 days until the presidential election. You'll need to register to have a voice. (Just a friendly civic reminder.)
This weekend I heard Ralph Nader speak in Hopland. He was speaking at SolFest, a Solar Energy festival put on by the folks at Real Goods. It was refreshing to hear a politician speak candidly about problems with our system. I should have pictures soon.
