cancel my membership, rei. suck it, patagonia. i don’t need any of you anymore, because i’ve got a bear grylls apparel magazine! best unsolicited piece of mail EVER. the gander mountain catalog can’t tell me to “train hard, fight easy.”
new saturn’s ring discovered
here’s an artist’s depiction of a newly discovered ring of saturn, thanks to nasa’s spitzer telescope. that tiny light in the middle, 5 million miles from the center of the ring, is saturn. the ring has gone unnoticed until now because it doesn’t reflect strongly in the visible spectrum, but shows up fine in IR. so, what else has nasa missed until now? i think i’ve got a pretty good idea:
the best part of the gyrobike is that the other kids can’t tell you’re using training wheels, so they can’t tease. well unless the noise, lights, and uncanny stability tips them off.
out with a whimper.
well i had been sad about leaving mn, but today’s rainy and 45 might help ease the transition.
alas, not yet.
everytime my phone chimes this morning i get all excited that it might be an invite to try google wave. update: ok, it’s cool, google. i’m going to sleep now, so just email me and i’ll get it when i wake up. but really. email me.

in case we die, and you want to steal our stuff:
we’re heading into the boundary waters today. the plan is to go southwest down the kawishiwi river (the south fork), and arrive back at lake one on tuesday morning. we have a sat phone that’ll be off most of the time, but the # is 254-377-3837. say a prayer for the fish!
