Tiefgründige Gedanken eines unqualifizierten Denkers
While celebrating Christmas in Basque Country I’ve been introduced to Olentzero (O-len-chair-O) who is their Santa-esque figure for the holidays.
Kids from the local school came around and sang in front of the apartment…
…and at night they brought another Olentzero around the streets and sang in different parts of the town.
Oh…forget “Merry Christmas” or “Feliz Navidad.” […]
Ok, so I had a weird dream last night that a company I used to work for somehow got into virtual reality (immersion…matrix style) development.
A snippet:
I returned to my desk after being away in Europe for almost 2 years to find it as I had left it. A EUR 50 bill is laying under […]
A further funneling of RSS…presenting, today’s nuggets:

Wow… That’s about all I could say as we exited the show here last night in Bilbao, Spain. I’d wanted to see Cirque du Soleil since I saw them on Leno as a child. Last night I went to Dralion.
Since photography of any kind is forbidden during the show, I only have […]
I hope everyone out there’s having a nice day relaxing after the Christmas Festivities. I’m excaping responsibility from the 20th until the 3rd in Erandio, Basque Country in Spain.
My first Christmas in a non-meat-and-potatoes society means my stomach is quite confused. In the States I’d eaten shrimp once…and it was of a non-lifelike-but-rather-foodlike […]
How to have fun on vacation. Go Christmas shopping alone where you don’t speak the language…
Ok, so it’s my own fault. I didn’t get a present that was small enough to bring with and, therefore, to exchange here in Erandio. I took the metro into Bilbao with Nora and we decided to […]
So digg.com seems to be my new favorite site since slicedbread.com and wannabeafanboy.org. I just ran across more old color photos taken in the States from 1939 - 1943. Very very cool…
This is just incredible…
I have trouble overcoming the deception of old black and white photography. I can never really “picture” the scene in color. Here are some amazing pictures of Russia taken before WWI by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944).
Simply amazing and quite a shame that we don’t have more pictures of this and […]
Digg is a site I check upon nearly every browser opening of every day. I started my Sunday afternoon with a good laugh since the recent failed zip feedmill implosion in Sioux Falls, SD was a front page digg. What a splendid surprise to see guys I know in real life commenting on […]
