Julio

Jeanne, Belldar, and I took a little hike today through Forest Park here in P-town, and we stopped by the Audobon Society of Portland. They rescued and raised this Great Horned Owl, cutely named Julio. Being raised by humans made him super friendly. Beautiful bird!

A New Year's Eve Engagement

Took this photo the night our good friends Mike and Lianne became engaged. Thought I'd post it for them.

White-breasted Nuthatch

It was beautiful this last weekend, perfect for a Sunday stroll through the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. Jeanne and I joined Andy, Joanne, and Dave Crisman taking in the sun, views, smells, and sounds. And of course, we saw plenty o' bird life; tree swallows, yellow-rumped warblers, red-tailed hawks, bald eagles, killdeer, mallard and pintail ducks, downy woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, and white-breasted nuthatches. Dave and Andy, be sure to comment and let me know on the ones I missed. I know I did. A few photos of our outing follows.

No script. I figured I labor over python code all day why bore everyone with a nerdy post in said coding language. I am not a nerd.

My old AMD 700+ machine is ready for an update. I kicked started that guy the other day and was screaming 'need new updated kernel'. And I'm thinking of giving it Zope for some web server goodness. Oh, and my assassin character for Guild Wars is a level five! Played a few hours tonight.

Work was well today. On the xmms player today was Wilco. Looped the song 'Spiders (Kidsmoke)'. Great tune. Off a great album. Highly recommend it. Go get it. If you don't like it, sorry.

The following are pictures from a January Whistler trip. Global warming was evident. Heh heh, yeah. Right. And today I read NY and surrounding areas are under winter advisory warnings. Again. Threatening to postpone global warming conferences. Again. I better post the snapshots before ranting about Gore's monthly energy bill.
