Summer 2012 The start of another great summer... I hope. :)
Posted on Thu May 17, 2012 2:58am CDT This year has been a little bit different than other years concerning my summer destination(s). The last couple of years I struggled to decide where I would go, but this year I pretty much knew where I am going, The only thing I have to decide is the logistics for the up to 60 days that I can take. I know that I will be going to Southeast Asia, and that I will be starting with a 14-day tour in Myanmar, but that’s where my plans end. I had decided that I was going to ride a bike from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City, but it looks like I won’t be able to do that. That leaves a trip down into Malaysia, Indonesia, or China, or/and Philippines. There are some things that I really want to see this year, and I will try really hard to see them.
The first is Angkor Wat. I’ve always wanted to see the temples and it’s been a “must see” item for me More...
Meeting Dennis Kuscinich
Posted May 17, 2012
This year's guest speaker at AUD was Dennis Kuscinich. I'm not really a fan of his politics, but I am a fan of him. There are very few politicians that I believe are in Washington to actually make a difference and he is one of them. The other politician that I'd like to meet is Ron Paul. Both Paul and Kuscinich are hard working and passionate about their beliefs, so I was excited to meet Dennis the other day.
Sorry about the image quality, but I'm too lazy to try to fix it properly, and my friend only took one picture of me and Dennis, so this image will have to do.Go to the site
Latest Web Design Project
Posted Nov 10, 2011 One of my oldest sites that is still up and running is my first hosting company, Nowse-West. It was started back in 2002 and at the time the design was one of the best I'd come up with. Unfortunately time takes a toll on all things and when it comes to design, time is especially harsh. I've wanted to redesign the site for about four or five years (maybe longer), but I always seemed to find something else to work on, but now I can say that is no longer the issue. The new design has a contemporary layout with large graphics and utilizing lots of white space. I really like the new look, but have to admit that I'm a bit tired of staring at the same thing for the last week. Visit Nowse West Hosting.
Time Lapse Abu Dhabi Towards Dubai
Posted February 6, 2011
So what do you do if you have too much time on your hands? If you're me, you stick your camera on the dashboard of your car and start recording a drive from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. I did this last Friday and then compressed the time down to one minute. My camera only records video for up to 30 minutes so although I wanted to record the complete drive to Dubai, I've only got about a fifth of it. Nevertheless, it's kind of interesting if you ever wondered what Abu Dhabi is like from the front seat of a car.
Summer Vacation 2010
Posted July 11, 2010 After much deliberation I've finally decided on my destination for the extended Summer break this year, and I want to stress that "much deliberation" is no exaggeration. The months leading up to the break I decided I was going to go to Argentina, then changed my mind to do a Western Europe trip from Helsinki to England, and then I decided that what I really wanted to see was Morocco. The idea was Morocco to England. Unfortunately even though I like the idea of crossing the Straits of Gibraltar and all, I wasn't convinced that it would be the best trip for me. So I decided it was back to Helsinki, Finland to England. I brought my tickets and I'll be leaving in about a week. Now comes the part of getting ready for the trip. Follow me

The Itch mixed media on paper, 18 x 24
Mixed media piece done about six months ago. Believe it or not, there was some question whether this piece would make it into the Clovis exhibition because it has the indication of a nude woman. A day earlier it was taken down after it won 2nd place in a Tri-State Art Association exhibition in Amarillo more information
