Jim, he is a natural geomancer, and he done taught me the sekrit of finding a good rock! Yee haw, bash away bash away all!

Ela and Arrin's Wedding Sept. 9, 2005 at the Habitat

Congratulations to Ela and Arrin. It was a really awesome gala, with tons of unique touches. The Habitat gardens were lovely, and it was nice to see so much greenery. Besides the beautiful setting and terrific mediterranean food, the storytelling was exquisite. Ela's hand was in all the designs, from the custom invites, the natural setting, the gorgeous dress and handmade jewelry, to the traditional Israeli repast. Arrin's friends are very funny, and told some terrific stories! Lily did a terrific job with the flowers, and it was nice to spend time talking to the people at our table: Shanti, Vivian, Lily, Ben, Audrey, Thuy, Jenny, and her new husband! Rain had us in stitches with a hilarious poem. We were also treated to an exotic belly dancing tribute by the beautiful Polina, and a song by another of Arrin's friends. I saw tons of MIT alumni in attendance, and everyone was so nice. We had a great time! Here's to the happy couple! Additional Congratulations to Rain and Byron! You guys rock for getting off your honeymoon plane just to be in attendance!

AIGA Design Conference 2005

Today TMG demoed at the AIGA design conference. Nice to meet some folks from AIGA's head office in NY (kieran w. and friends) It was different, and I got tons of paper samples. The people were friendly, and were interested in the electronics we demoed. It was interesting to see the world of the Graphic Artist. Lots of stuff about paper printing...

What does matt's email address mean?

It was a strange word, and I couldn't figure out what it really alluded to. So Thank You, matt, for responding. I will not forget a tribute to Bailacoil... enjoy! Romance of the Rose describes Bailacoil as "fair welcome", one of the guardian of the Lady's rose! here's to innocent bailacoil, and the folly of being friends.

Deck Prisms on the Charles W. Morgan

Recently we went to the Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum to see what kind of pirate booty could be found in Key West. We came across an interesting glass pyramid called a Deck Prism. The museum had many cool tangible demos, one was a gold bar that you could lift to feel how heavy it was. Another demo was a comparison of a few different sizes of canon balls that you could lift. I also enjoyed seeing the gold boullion, cross-section of the ship's hull and smelling the spices being traded. The movie was a little hokey, but it was nice to know that Mel Fisher was a nice guy. "today's the day!" All in all, it was a delight to the senses. I highly recommend this museum if you are into Pirate Treasure! Arrgggg! Keep searching, everyone, you'll find it!

A Bachelor's Weblog to Urban Cooking - Comments

This article on Manifold Cooking from A Bachelor's Weblog to Urban Cooking reminds me of the time Mr. Gouldstone put pork pies in his engine on the way to Raglan castle. They were hot and tasty.

Dubai

I just heard from James that he's heading to Dubai for work. So I thought I'd look it up. It seems fascinating! I hope we get to visit him sometime in Dubai! Maybe he'll even be able to tell us what kind of local food is popular there! Good luck James!

chilling in the UK

We got to London on last Wednesday, after my last day at Mot. Had a terrific time with Ian and hanging out near South Kensington. It was so nice meeting Ian's friends/roommates and soaking up the RCA 'end of year show' and various UK vibes. We must have walked 30+ miles around London, and the chance meeting with the Polish guy at the bus stop was cool. I will always remember fruit pastilles as the perfect walking accompaniment.

We took the train to Ledbury from Paddington on Monday, and it was nice to stay over with Jim's folks again. The wedding happens on Saturday, so we're all preparing for then. Looking forward to R&R. :) Can you manage...?
