things that you can't not like

hurricane ike

Read this article...

well, college station didn't exactly get much of the expected 70mph winds from hurricane ike... a few power outages, broken branches, and some rain was about all. we stayed up til 4am (when the first rain hit), waiting on a roof (smart, i know), but a very anticlimactic ending it was for us. luckily.

there are 1000s of people in college station, either transferring from aTm galveston, or just waiting for their power to return in houston or the surrounding area.

the house in the photo- which stands alone on the Bolivar Peninsula- is thought to be one of the experimental "hurricane proof" houses built in the area. click on the photos for larger images.

here are some images of where the storm did its damage... the galveston area is completely devastated.

to see specific areas to check on homes/neighborhoods, look at the noaa website of flyover images on hurricane damage areas (including houston). you can really see the broader spectrum of the coast that way. just click the little squares and then zoom in on the images.

i was looking for something like this...









but on "canadianpetessentials.com" (hah!) i found this:

oh yeah, the olympics

went to carrie's parents' house in houston the other day, and watched a little olympics (i have no TV here). reminds me of being a kid and watching all the events...

too bad (as usual) the political/cultural controversies of the time put such a damper on everything.

anyway. check out george bush at the 2008 olympics. he's being himself. make sure you don't miss the photos/captions after the article.

olympic bush

haha.

radiostations

so i haven't posted in awhile, sorry, but i did add something.

at poking you, we listen to these slacker.com radio stations, which are a perfect mix for hours of tattoo work. we've each made some stations, so there is a good variety. the site has a pretty vast collection of artists, with appropriate recommendations for similar bands (for the most part).

check out the 2 stations i made, IZZY and TACO!. they're on the right side of the blog page, with direct links which open the music right away. it's super easy.

TACO!

IZZY

i am m.i.a.

okay. back from spain bicycle riding.... back from london metro riding..... preparing for field day, and about to leave again to burningman. broke, but it's okay. this is the best 2 months i've had in awhile.





a week and a half. and we're gone.
