To the Arctic Ocean. And Back. On the 'Top of the World' Highway. Postim më i ri. Postim më i vjetër. Abonohu te: Posto komente (Atom). This past summer (2007) my partner and I took our newborn son to the Arctic Ocean, to the Inuvialuit town of Tuktoyaktuk, and gave him a pagan baptism in the Beaufort sea. Chalked it up as "research". 3500 miles of gunning a gas hog across the tundra, from Anchorage to Chicken to Dawson to Inuvik and back. Yowza! The science of sleepwalking. To the ballot, to be shared b...

Working with J: A sacred mountain looms...so does the future.

Dave Rosane's outreach program in the Venezuelan Amazon. A sacred mountain looms.so does the future. Cerro Faru, the mountain that leads to Heaven. A sacred Tepui. How do you tell the institutions of today and the bureaucracies and corporations of tomorrow that a mountain is yours even if you don’t own it or never climb nor dig through it nor mine it to smithereens?

Working with J: In satellites do we trust?
http://theartofgreenhollow.blogspot.com/2006/07/in-satellites-do-we-trust.html
