What’s your bucket list like? This is a great video put to Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying” song, but with video clips from “The Bucket List”. It’s very well done, and hopefully for the state of this site and your enjoyment, it stays on youtube indefinitely.
Think about your bucket list. What items are on it?
So many sites, so little time.
I find myself compelled to begin projects that I just don’t maintain the steam to carry to completion.
I’ve built photo sites, weblogs galore, food sites, and more. What I’d like to have is someone on staff who can pursue the desires of my impatient tech mind. 🙂
Right now I’m in the midst of a transition of hosting providers and it’d be nice to just tell someone to make it work and to give me the keys once it’s in place.
For now, I’ll keep clicking, but wow, it’d be nice to have a hand!
My friend and fellow photographer, Daniel Buckscott, has been blessed with many things. I think the one that I’m most envious of is the fact that he gets the opportunity to explore so many of natures beautiful places as part of his ongoing efforts to document it, educate others and protect the environment.
In time, I look forward to exploring with him, or even on my own. I have a feeling that with a little bit of Huck-Finn like energy, and a bit of cash, I could find some pretty cool, and remote, places. Here’s a quick example of what can be done with an afternoon and a helicopter (and camera & kayak & model):
PS – Daniel, I hope, if you find this, that you consider it an honor that I’d love to do some of the things that you’ve already done! And, while I didn’t ask for permission to post this image, I am very hopeful that you’ll allow me to continue using it while I direct people to your awesome website: http://wildernesspeaks.com/
Heather & I are engaged!
It’s an interesting prospect with a daunting vision of what’s to come. When I think of what I want the future to behold, there are so many things to be done, and it feels largely like a moving target.
In the past 24 hours, we’ve talked about intricacies of the upcoming ceremony and found that we gravitate towards serving and pouring life into those we care about and who can attend. Next, we talked about a small, inexpensive ceremony and then to use the money and make the goal to become absolute servers to people in our lives.
And right now, I’m listening to Brad Duncan. He has the best marriage that I know of. He’s transparent, loves his wife, and FIGHTS to give her all of her dreams. I want to be that for Heather, but alas, I’m still young and learning. I hope that I can grow into those shoes quickly and help her to know how incredibly important she is.
We will work to clarify more and more what it is we want for our lives, and we’ll see where it goes and what our dreams become.
I’ll keep you posted.

There are so many amazing things to do in the world. It seems like our lives are often a process of winnowing down and narrowing the scope of all the possible directions to become focused on one purpose. Yesterday while touring the Technology Education Center of UAS, I happened across Bill Leighty of the Leighty Foundation – he was working to create a form for a domed home or shelter made out of minimal construction materials (a dome form with a thin concrete shell creates the initial structure. Next, add some insulation and perhaps a weatherproof finish, and voila, inexpensive, fast, well protected shelter. Imagine the application of such things in areas of mass destruction (tsunami victims).
So that was yesterday. Today I hopped on stumble for a moment and came across a page about rotating DOME houses! Small world.
Watch this. It’s of course slanted towards the photographer, as it was originally drafted & posted on Scott Kelby’s blog as a guest post, but it resonates with the soul because of his honest review. 100 mph on a dead end road, or something more significant?
The other day I sat down to watch Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (number IV) and saw a scene that for some reason sparked another idea of something cool to do in life.
I’m not sure how it will exactly work as I’m not particularly interested in being anywhere near an nuclear bomb, but nonetheless, I suddenly found myself interested in witnessing an explosion large enough to have a mushroom cloud and a shockwave. I think it’d be best if all participants had to be at least half a mile away for safety reasons.
Here’s a quick (bootlegged) clip from that scene in the movie that sparked my interest. In retrospect, I’m not totally sure why this would give me that “oh, I’ve gotta do that” sense. I guess I’ll take it where I get it!
Wow. I’m in love.
I like to drive fast, I like to recycle – this car is the perfect match for me. It’s a hydrogen powered sports car! Whee!
It’s only $150,000 and will be out sometime in 2009. Put down your $1000 “production reservation” fee to make sure you get one of the 200 produced!

I love creativity like this. It’s so functional, simple, and nifty!
Perhaps someday I’ll stick a set of bookshelves somewhere unexpected.
What a neat idea. TempestTours.com allows folks with no experience with big mid-west storms to brave the elements with either a camera or a binky in hand — they chase storms for the sake of tourism!
You can visit any number of locations with varying themes to the tours. Most seem to be 10days/11nights or less. Oh! And you get a free tee-shirt!
