Ok, so the wheels kind of fell off of the update-train the past four days. The yearly mess of final get togethers as well as some drastic changes in direction at work have had me doing everything but not completing anything. So, the machinery is back in action just in time for us to go […]

The Easter holidays have finally shone their glorious light upon this corner of the world! I’m free until next Tuesday and plan to spend every minute of my break doing what any burned-out student/worker would do…catching up on the work they didn’t get done during their proper work time. Crap…
All is not lost […]
My first day back in wonderful South Dakota was spent at a local auction. In case you’ve never heard such a thing, you’re in luck now! Shot on location in Platte, SD!

Das bin ich…
Am Freitag werde ich in die USA fliegen (um sechs Uhr morgens… das ist aber ein anderes Thema). Endlich kann ich meine Freunde/-innen und Familie besuchen!
Zusätzlich sitze ich gerade vor einem riesigen Haufen von Hausaufgaben. Wenigstens werde ich etwas in den Staaten zu tun haben. “Herr Iedema, was haben Sie gestern gemacht?”
Egal…lass das […]
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.” […]

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 […]
Last week I was in London and was able to catch The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Before the film there was a great commercial from Orange depicting Darth Vader trying to pitch a film.
Using roughly the same side of the force, John Bolton appears in the video below to be an incredibly good […]
After jumping off the train in Hamburg I scurried to snap off a few pictures before my friends lost me. The lighting and balance aren’t very good but it’s enough to remember the moment. Hamburg was great but we didn’t have enough time to really soak in the city. I’ll be back.
I took advantage of one of the lookouts on the path surrounding Devil’s Tower for this shot. There wasn’t enough information for all pieces of the pano to be generated properly. Unfortunately I did not find this out until I was back at the cabin piecing the photos together. I guess this will suffice.
Nearly the […]
A park bench with a few visitors over the years. Only a few more generations of lovers before the whole thing is unreadable. I snapped this while visiting Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. I know there is a large flaw in this image’s construction but my skills in image manipulation are not to be flaunted.
