Photos
Update 2018: here's a link to all my eBird media (photos and audio).
I don't really have time to maintain my photo archive on these pages any longer. Besides, there are better ways of organizing and posting photos these days (not that I've gotten around to doing that either...). So here's what's leftover from my old web pages, in case there's something of interest (opens a new window):
- Bird photos
- Other creature photos
- Trip photos—newest stuff in here, including more birds!
Fun Stuff
Random ramblings.
- Desiderata
- So you think French is hard!
- So you think Chinese is hard!
- More English insanity, and more!
- The script from The Princess Bride
- Theatre of Cruelty—a short story by Terry Pratchett
- Some T.S. Elliot
- And some Coleridge (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)
- Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design

Naturally, the ad was spoofed mercilessly. Here are the American, Chinese, and Italian versions. Enjoy!
And here's a nice follow-up in the same spirit!
