This is why it is always dangerous to wear black when working in the fab lab. At least, on a day when you have to disassemble the ventilation for three laser cutters.

This van was damaged by a fire across the street (behind the camera in this view). A 4-story apartment building burned while it was under construction, and the heat from the fire was enough to singe this van and the building in the background. My "favorite" part of this image is how the door handles melted.

I took this from my car while waiting for a red light, so I couldn't get the trailer attached to the van (just off camera to the right). It had its tires pop (or melt, not sure which). At any rate, the van hasn't moved since the fire.

This was the view into the fourth-year architecture studios in Knowlton Hall last week. I'm always amused how the studios get progressively messier as the quarter moves along; by crit week, they usually look like a tornado hit them. This quarter (Winter 2009) was no exception.

This was "the black out" against the LA Galaxy in late 2008. Fans were encouraged to wear black - which they generally did.

Continuing the trend of impossible sports feats - in 2008 the Crew did win the MLS Supporters Shield. I wore my Fulham shirt for that game (wearing home or away jerseys in the press box is frowned upon), giving me the chance to close the loop from 2000, when I held the FA Cup in a Crew jersey.

Wembley stadium, taken in 2000 before being renovated. This was very close to the royal box, at midfield.

In August 2000, my friend Robin and I went to London for two weeks. One of the things we did there was to tour the old Wembley Stadium (this was before it was redeveloped). At the end of the tour, they brought everyone to the royal box, and had the FA Cup available for anyone to have their picture taken.

Robin had thought ahead, and wore her Crew jersey on the tour. She loaned it to me so I could have my picture taken, in uniform, holding the FA Cup aloft. I couldn't resist the idea.

This is the view from the south edge of Utah State's campus. Its fairly hard to capture how immense these mountains are; they don't seem distant, but they loom on the horizon and are ever-present.

Lorrie and I had an interesting conversation about how geologic features like this give context to our existence in a way that you don't appreciate living on a plain.

The outside of the Chicago Fire's stadium - I've seen this technique of building an earth berm in several stadia, and it seems like a decent idea; the argument appears to be that its both cheaper to pile dirt than build a structure, as well as future planned expansion would start from the higher ground plane (also lowering costs)

Taking some cues from Carole and Erin, I've started trying to photograph flowers. I'm not sure how skilled I'll prove at it, but it's been an interesting process.
