I arrived in Seoul on December 18 and so had a whole day to run around the city and learn all kinds of fun secret spots to show Misa when she showed up the next day. Luckily, Lina was on hand to show me around. Misa came the next morning, and basically we spent the nextContinue reading “~Seoul~”

Giant tetris picture gallery! (aka patio part eye-vee)
Here is a little time lapse of the front patio. In the first pictures the whole space is overgrown and unusable. Basically, it’s a mosquito gauntlet running from the driveway to the front door. After that, I started tearing up the old ground, which I then sifted shovel by shovel into one pile of dirtContinue reading “Giant tetris picture gallery! (aka patio part eye-vee)”
Singapore!
Two years after I left, I finally made it back to Singapore last week. My main reason for being there was to participate in the Empire in Asia project at NUS, but since I was in town, I also gave a talk at the Asian Civilizations Museum, and another at the Asia Research Institute. ForContinue reading “Singapore!”
My art project (aka patio part III)
Progress, I tells ya, there’s progress! Having reluctantly come down from the elation of defeating the stump from hell, I then set to the less glamorous tasks of removing a couple of more concrete footings, and leveling the site. Now leveling is important not just for aesthetics, but also for drainage, so unglamorous though itContinue reading “My art project (aka patio part III)”
Pictures: Patio project, part deux
It’s been a momentous couple of weeks, I tell you. As of our last update, I had dug down to just around the edge of the old swimmin’ pool, leaving us with a thusish state of affairs: Not bad, certainly compared to what was there before. Since then, I finished breaking up the pool, removedContinue reading “Pictures: Patio project, part deux”
Pictures: New patio project – part 1
Here’s a little time lapse of my latest project to remove the fanciful (read: craptastic) little garden that the former owners had put in and replace it with a proper granite patio. This first picture is after about 8 hours of digging — the bare spot by the wheelbarrow had previously been a roughly 1Continue reading “Pictures: New patio project – part 1”
Pictures: Montreal!
Last week we decided to hop in the car and drive to Montreal.This is about 6 hours away from Ithaca, so we did some preparation for the trip, got to bed early, left the house at 7 the next morning, and arrived in Montreal in time for a late lunch. (Which we both agreed wouldContinue reading “Pictures: Montreal!”
Pictures: Ithaca Marathon Club
These are some of Misa’s really nice friends, who run together on weekends, and sometimes weekdays. There are some pretty serious people in this group, but today we just did a 9k trot through the bird sanctuary, which was lovely, though the day was just starting to get brutally hot.
Pictures: NYC – featuring Tomoko!
Not a CHUD to be seen. We did however go for a run in Central Park, saw an installation of automatic gamelan, nearly got crushed by some Brad Pitt fans, did some nifty computerized running analysis at the Asics store, and had some amazing food, including two dinners with my lovely friend Tomoko, who was inContinue reading “Pictures: NYC – featuring Tomoko!”
Pictures: Tanglefoot run!
This was a 10/20k race that Misa and I ran for the first time. We thought it was just a fun run and planned to do two loops around the course. As it turns out, most of it was steep, occasionally muddy hills, so we were happy to leave it at 10k. Lots of fun,Continue reading “Pictures: Tanglefoot run!”
