A technical drawing by me, age 4. I like that the only thing without a face is the actual human on the upper deck.

2014

2014

The 2014 cover of the calendar I make each year for my mother. It started as a way to share the photos she'd missed from the year, because we lived on different continents and didn't see each other for 6-12 months at a time. Now it's tradition. I love putting it together, although this year's was particularly hard. In 2014, I need to take more photos.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This year (and now for the next 20 years) the tree is taller than me. Hand-decorated by Hannah, as usual.

It's beginning to feel a *little* bit like Christmas.

Just as the Inklings enjoyed at the Eagle and Child all those years ago.

Found this while I was putting something together yesterday. I'm glad I share some of these genes.

Bedside shelves

Bedside shelves

... And that's literally all the books I have in California, despite wanting to be one of those people with book-lined rooms. Most of my books are still in boxes, thousands of miles away from me.

Not pictured: Noam Chomsky's Media Control. (I love Chomsky.)

These also never randomly go offline.

Slanty bookshelf while I wait for my Internet to return

The nice thing about books is that they don't require a subscription, and they never go offline. Wish mine were a bit taller, though.
