This site is my personal project, wherein I post content for my friends. There is a bunch of stuff here, including my photographs and recommendations from travel and life in general. It's what I think (or have done), what I've learned or where I've been, and what people ask me about most frequently. 

Please take a moment to sign my Guest Book (link is above)--then enjoy!

It is high time to question the true agenda of the scientists now on the hot seat and to bring skeptics back into the public debate"
-- Neil Frank, former director of the National Hurricane Center, predicting in the Houston Chronicle the coming collapse of the global warming consensus.
