News from where I'm at. Friday, June 3, 2011. Tibet 1.10 - Epilogue - Feeling the need to stop being selfish with the memories. Tibet 1.10 - My 4th of July - July 4, 2009. Well it appeared that I didn’t need to worry. After many turns and much searching for the monastery, including asking a Tibetan pilgrim for directions who proceeded to ignore us (clearly one of the many individuals who resented the Chinese presence in Tibet) we finally found the. Method. Anyway, the expression on my face after that...

News from where I'm at. Sunday, May 27, 2007. Postcards from Malaysia part 1: Stinkhorns and tigers and bureaucrats oh my! So it’s been over a week since I left on my trip so it’s about time I started doing this web log thing, or more unflatteringly referred to as blogging. Who came up with that name and why did they get to decide for everyone else? I’m leaving on June 15th…. It was all in my proposal… Ever think to bother filling me in on the apparent conflict? 8221;… Of course not. So onto plan B.

News from where I'm at. Monday, June 8, 2009. Though I've been in Chicago for over a month, it's still not quite home. Not the way Worcester is. was. However that will change. But before it does, I have to pay the town that was my home for 7 years its proper respects. So I wrote this homage to Worcester to get it out of my system. Followed suit with a broader beer selection and made wings night with my colleagues more attractive. However, despite the greater variety, I would still order the BBC. ...Many ...

News from where I'm at. Thursday, April 30, 2009. The Big Chicago Move. I had hoped to blog on my move sooner, but my time has been so limited. My last weekend in Worcester was filled with parties, packing and visits. David held a BBQ for me. It was good to have another get together with many of my friends and colleagues from school. I was floored by the Calostoma. Now, sitting here in room 122 in Portage Indiana, I'm ready to move on to my new life in Chicago working at the Chicago Botanical Garden.

My Electric Postcard: Tibet 1.8 - The Mystic Valley (July 1 2009)
http://myelectricpostcard.blogspot.com/2009/10/tibet-18-mystic-valley-july-1-2009.html
News from where I'm at. Monday, October 26, 2009. Tibet 1.8 - The Mystic Valley (July 1 2009). I love the forested parts of Tibet. Here we are so high, the forest looks like it is on fire with all the clouds clinging to the mountains like smoke. Yesterday we landed next to a beautiful alpine lake. The lake is fed by glacial waters and as a result is completely turquoise in color. I can only imagine that it is compensation from the Chinese government for the commercialization of the lake area. I feel ...

News from where I'm at. Saturday, May 17, 2008. Do'n the Du, Try'n the Tri. So several months ago I decided to be bold and do a triathlon. I asked around to see if anyone would like to join me and my friend Ian stepped up. I'm not sure what made me so ambitious, especially considering that I already had a lot on my plate, but I'm glad I did cause it was a blast! I have a little photo diary of the events on Picasa.
