I finally put up my rafting pictures from last weekend.
Today I figured out how to approximately translate HiMetric units into Pixels. It goes a little like this: [HiMetricValue] / 26.46. Pretty cool, eh? If anyone reading this knows how to do the translation exactly (if possible) I'd appreciate the help. Ahh, lazy Saturdays.
I just heard this in a commercial for the coal industry: "...while our production of electricity has tripled in the past thirty years, our environment continues to improve." That global warming thing? Yeah, that's qute an improvement. Thanks, coal.

I saw six live Soul Coughing shows. I've seen seven or eight Ani Difranco shows. Those are (were) my only serial concert habits. oops, I've also seen the Tragically Hip a few more times than normal. This post is not a cry for help. Thank you, though.
Many special thank yous, again, media nugget! Today's entry is M. Doughty's solo album. It's not available in stores, so don't surf to cdnow. It's only available through Napster. You may remember M. Doughty from such bands as Soul Coughing and other media adventures I may have mentioned before. Oh, and Mr. Doughty has his own BBS.
I'm still laughing at Scott McCloud's 5-Card Nancy. [via boingboing] It seems like something that would be in A Book of Surrealist Games.
The class III rapids were fun and all, but the real highlight of the trip last weekend was matt's solo rendition of On the Cover of Rolling Stone while we were all sitting around the campfire.
I just got back from a trip to the American River. It was a great time. There was much rafting, camping, and bonfire-around-singing. I'll post more photos once they're developed.
