Briefest of updates:

• Last night: had lunch with Erik and Tim, before saying goodbye to Erik and wandering down to the Derb y with Tim for drinking and band-watching and to chat to Alex who works there...
• Today: lounging around, lunch with Sean, hopefully some kind of big gay drinking this evening in West Hollywood where I will (no doubt) look like a beach whale next to all the local gym bunnies
• Tomorrow: hopefully joining Jen from Blackphoebe to drive up to San Francisco for the SixAp art Mixer, and staying with the lovely Leslie Harpold. Terribly exciting.
• Friday - dunno.
• Booze-up with geeks at Tonga Room! Nice!
• Sunday - Wednesday... Er... Dunno

Things that I have seen in Mexico so far

Things that I have seen in Mexico so far 12/17/2004 06:36 PM

Here are some random things that I have observed so far on this trip to Mexico:

• eight Mexicans speaking English to each other all night at a dinner party so that their one American guest (me) would not feel left out
• a family gathered around the grave of a loved one offering me a drink of whiskey
• families staying up all night with musicians and refreshments
• two Japanese tourists, complete with nametags and three cameras, marching in Santa Maria del Tule's "Parade of Death"
• three tall white Americans dressed by REI and bedizened with cameras in a small village's graveyard saying "we're not tourists, we're photographers"
• tens of thousands of flowers for sale in an open-air market with upbeat Latin music playing
• enormous banners hanging from the sides of churches and cathedrals arguing against the legalization of abortion (abortion is currently illegal in Mexico but if you have USD$3000 you can get breast augmentation, laser hair removal, Viagra ("30% off" according to the big signs in Oaxacan pharmacies), and a procedure in a discreet private clinic)
• Spanish-speakers cringing in pain when I pronounce Oaxaca "Oh-axe-a-ka" (to be consistent with the English pronunciation of a hard "ex" in "Mexico")
• multi-acre downtown cactus garden from the balcony of one of the world's best prehispanic art museums
• a brass band playing and costumed locals dancing for hours underneath the balcony next to my restaurant table on the main square in Oaxaca

In addition to seeing a lot of interesting and fun things I found a good job to apply for once I get my commercial helicopter rating.  It seems that on the north shores of the Hawaiian islands there are surfers who pay to be dropped from a helicopter into the middle of a swell.  From there they get onto a jetski and are towed to the top of the 18-24 foot waves that are typical in the Hawaiian winter.  One would need an endorsement to be legal to carry surfboards externally strapped to the helicopter skids but otherwise it didn't sound too challenging and you'd be meeting cool people all day.

Some pictures from Mexico City

Some pictures from Mexico City 01/07/2004 04:22 PM

http: //www.photo.net/philg/digiphotos/200311-mexico-city/ contains some snapshots from the recent trip to Mexico City.  I'm trying to travel light these days, which means no laptop and no camera.  For this trip I borrowed a Casio Exilim EX-Z3, a truly tiny 3 MP camera.  As you can see the results are fairly dismal.  I attribute the poor results to the lack of a decent viewfinder in point and shoot cameras.  You can't see what you're photographing.  The little viewfinder window is tiny on the Casio and highly inaccurate.  You don't know whether or not the camera has focussed properly.  Plus of course there are a lot of weird modes in which you can get the camera.

On the plus side the Casio is only about the size of a Palm organizer and barely heavier so you truly can take it with you everywhere.  I don't think I'll buy one, though.  The smallest Canons are larger but seem less compromised as photographic machines.

Road Trip USA. This simply titled site is one of the better travel sites I have seen for back-road ramblings around the USA. Not only are the routes described some of the best, the writing is extensive (at least book length), of high quality and obviously by someone who has traveled every single mile personally. I only wish I had it on my last trip. Recommended for the arm-chair or car-seat traveler alike.

$10 raffle for a trip to Zero G

$10 raffle for a trip to Zero G 04/05/2005 04:48 PM
Xeni Jardin: Yuri's Night founder, recently minted 3D science movie star, and astrobiologist Loretta Hidalgo tells Boing Boing:

The industrious kids at MIT are raffling off a trip to Ft Lauderdale to ride Zero-G's 727 microgravity jet. The organizer is a member of Zero G Corp.'s flight crew. Everyone always tells him they wish they could fly in zero gravity, too -- so he created a raffle so that one of them could!

Included in the prize: airfare (based on a R/T to the takeoff site in Ft. Lauderdale on Song airlines from Boston), and hotel. The raffle is need-not-be-present-to-win so anyone in the US can enter. Drawing will held on Saturday April 9th [extended] on April 16th. The organizer is Stephen Steiner, an MIT Grad Student in Material Science and an Aerogel genius. He can be reached at ssteiner [at] transuranium.com.

Link to raffle details.
