Great art piece that fuses our trust of imagery and ‘events/places’ in religious history. As Geoff who works with me just said .. “… I honestly dont take any image for granted anymore. satellite, portraits of people, street scenes, anything. Absolutely anything can be faked convincingly in this day and age.” “We like to disorientate audiences a […]

The Sauna
December 10th, 2007 · 1 Comment
So our new cottage has a sweet indoor cedar ‘wet’ sauna with hot rocks. We finally got to fire it up on Saturday (the temp dial says it goes to 90°C but I don’t think it got that hot - we’ll have to find a way to figure out the real temp) and I lounged […]

Viper or Boa We have a couple pictures of this crazy snake that was just outside the place we rented in Costa Rica (this is about as close as we could safely get). Jesse has been trying to find out what it is with no luck so far.

NOVA tackles ID
December 5th, 2007 · No Comments
Watched a great TIVO’ed episode of NOVA last night that centered around the debacle of teaching ‘intelligent design (ID)’ (creationism) as science. It’s available online in 12 parts online. It contains some ‘re-enactment’ of the landmark court case, and has some great clips from the judge that presided over the case. Worth checking out
