I'm using DuoLingo for Spanish. 778 Days on my streak. I had a few streaks going (and broken) before that, but this is by far the longest (helped by Shelter-in-Place). It's pretty fun, but indeed pretty random, and sometimes the English …
Oh! That was our big plans for July! 10+ days in Uganda and nearly 2 weeks in Tanzania. Bwindi was the "core" of the trip. Obviously this little thing called Covid-19 had different ideas for what people should be doing this year. We didn't cancel …

Not when you have such interesting stories to tell as well ;-)

So for me, my favorite Physics Professor during college went on to become a Hugo and Nebula Award winning SciFi writer (his first novel had just been …
I hope Factotum comes back and weighs in on this! But i (pun?) think the movie is (drum roll.....)

The top part is Euler's Identity, which is said to be the most beautiful equation ever... and 666 is the …
Going out on a limb here, but I THINK D1 is Mean Girls

Ok. This picture pretty low resolution. Very early Digital Camera Tech.... but YES, Monkeys have been trying to figure out how to ride motorbikes for a while now... They will get the hang of it sooner or later (this was taken at Angkor Thom in …
