Austin Bruce: Crater Lake Baptism
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2012/09/crater-lake-baptism.html
Sunday, September 2, 2012. This undoctored, raw photo may look fake for a couple of reasons: 1) the water is too blue and 2) Leela is too beautiful. Well, the water really is that blue, because it's so clear. And Leela really looks that good (of course a little foreground flash helped keep the shadow off her face). Still, it looks as though she's posing in front of a studio backdrop, doesn't it? Click photo to enlarge.). Everyone looks good at Crater Lake. (Click photo to enlarge.). I cant believe you ha...

Austin Bruce: My Big Wildcrafting Triumph
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-big-wildcrafting-triumph.html
Saturday, November 15, 2008. My Big Wildcrafting Triumph. Is the practice of harvesting uncultivated plants from their natural or "wild" habitat. I provide this definition because I was not familiar with the word before moving to Oregon. I guess I was wildcrafting blackberries all summer, but to tell the truth my ambitions did not extend much beyond that. This changed today. A little searching on the Web, turns up lots of pictures and info about lion's mane ( Hericium erinaceus). View my complete profile.

Austin Bruce: Leipzig String Quartet
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2009/03/leipzig-string-quartet.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. Last night Leela and I attended a concert on the campus of OSU - three varied works masterfully performed by the Leipzig String Quartet. The first and third offerings were classic works by Mozart and Brahms, both elegantly rendered and warmly received. The second was String Quartet No. 3 "Jagdqartett" by Jorg Widmann (born 1973). It began with all four musicians vigorously swishing their bows in the air and then yelling. Then one said to the other in a. I want my money back.".

Austin Bruce: CoHo Ecovillage Now Visible on Google Maps
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2011/07/coho-ecovillage-now-visible-on-google.html
Sunday, July 3, 2011. CoHo Ecovillage Now Visible on Google Maps. Our home, CoHo Ecovillage, is now visible. On Google Maps. When I looked about a month ago, it was still showing up as an overgrown field. Now you can actually see the layout of our buildings and grounds. I think the satellite photo was taken sometime last summer, as it doesn't show the photo-voltaic panels that were installed on the roofs of the residential buildings in October and November of last year.

Austin Bruce: Science Fiction Fading, Urban Fantasy Twinkling
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2009/12/science-fiction-fading-urban-fantasy.html
Saturday, December 5, 2009. Science Fiction Fading, Urban Fantasy Twinkling. He says he's not attending the World Science Fiction Convention next year. His convention-attending budget is limited, and WorldCon just isn't worth it any more - it's gotten too small. World Fantasy Convention attendance has also dwindled to the size of a regional convention. He says both conventions should try having a YA guest of honor (sounds good to me! I guess I missed something there. I should clarify - WorldCon is in Aus...

Austin Bruce: Balcony Garden
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2011/06/balcony-garden.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. We've had flower boxes on the outside of our balcony railing since our first year at CoHo Ecovillage (see my September 6, 2008 post. I'm guessing we can keep growing such greens in these boxes right through the winter, thanks to the full southern exposure and ambient building heat. When you have a surplus, remember to pass along your surplus to nice neighbors, along with the milk of human kindness. Good karma. ;). June 26, 2011 at 11:05 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Austin Bruce: Brother, Can You Spare a Buck
http://austinbruce.blogspot.com/2008/11/brother-can-you-spare-buck.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Brother, Can You Spare a Buck. Last Saturday on NPR's Weekend Edition, I heard a wonderful story on the history of the Depression-era song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime." Pianist and composer Rob Kapilow took an in-depth look at the song to explore "why it was so successful in its time, and why it still speaks to listeners today." It's worth checking out. Both the audio and the transcript of the story are here. Once I built a Web site, made it shine. Once I built a Web site.
