This photo is the product of combining a photographer, the line "how do they get their hair to stay up?", a fake lip ring, and an egg. More here and more full story over on Joel's Blahg. Our apartment is hardcore..

This is a shot taken in astro class through defraction grating. It seperates light into into a spectrum. View white light and you see a rainbow. Few other light from specific elements (I think the top may be Helium) and see the wavelength of colors that make it up as represented by those lines on the right. This is how we can tell what stars are made of.

Had to use a photo from June 2004 to talk about this one...it sorta relates to the story. This is a Calder mini-sculputer in Grand Rapids. Anyhow, we were talking in my English 305 class about how some dialects replace /p t k/ sounds with other sounds and the professor told us that Grand Rapids has its own little thing going on. He asked if anyone was from GR, so I raised my hand. "Say it" [the city name] he says, and it turns out that people from GR, myself included, say "Grand Rabids." No joke. You never even notice it until someone points it out. A while ago Chicago had painted up cows around the Loop and GR copied but instead used rabbits. All the out of towners thought it was hilarious that "Grand Rabids" had "Rabbits" all around and that GR people were none the wiser.

Guy sharpnin' skates at a local business. Reshot it from before when a mistake had it not run a couple weeks ago. Ran this time.

Casey came over and now I have finally joined the rest of the world and seen Garden State, the movie that college students quoted endlessly in their AIM profiles for months after it was released. It was good, yeah, but not as much as people say--at least in my opinion. Good soundtrack though, I'm listening to The Shins as I type this.
