    day 2 - i stopped at the university of iowa (ironically, the 2nd of 3 “u of i”s i would be stopping at) to eat breakfast, seeing as i-80 goes right through iowa city. this shot is of this crazy cool steeple in their med school area. i tried to get a closer look at the building, but as far as i could tell, it was completely surrounded by other buildings! i think i wasted a good hour walking in circles around this area.

    another angle of my first camp. i built that fire without a match, with nothing but the glowing embers that the previous occupant had foolishly not put out. /flex

    my very first camp. hunt’s cedar river campground. it was kinda lame, since it was maybe 100 yds off of i-80. but at least there was a river. you can kinda see it in the background.

  • in darkest day, in blackest night, neither rain, nor snow, nor heat...

    The nerdtastically amazing fact that the US Postal Service has released a set of DC Comics super-heroes postage stamps has me giddy with glee. I feel ridiculously secure knowing that my first rent check for graduate housing will be escorted to Idaho by none other than Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of Sector 2814!

  • it's march 14th....

    Happy Pi Day!

    Few thing makes me feel as helpless as I do when I lose my TiVo remote.
