In late high school I went on an Oceanography class trip out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (can’t remember where exactly). I googled the teacher that took us there and it turns out Harold Dorr is now the President of the San Diego Oceans Foundation. This isn’t entirely a surprise since he was [...]
Made for two close friends that are getting ready for an adventure in early June.
Today was my day off so I did a little thrift store hopping for materials for the show (= mostly recycled:)). Some cool things in there include: 2 yards of dark blue velvet, 2 sea green drinking glasses, a few scraps of wood, some more fabric, a blue bowl, and the top of a light [...]

…I didn’t have to stay up all night working and could do this all day:
I’m really into science and math and, as you could say “figuring things out.” I like to collect old textbooks and kids books to get ideas and do weird experiments. For the most part, I’m a sane person. Other times, not [...]
