Pflanzen – Tom, Slowmath

My brother took some really neat pictures of the flowers he didn’t even know were in his own yard when he bought his house last fall.

Third time’s a charm , a day at home as a family, & More Pictures!

Rachel went into surgery one more time this morning – hopefully for the last time — to get her stitches replaced because the old ones weren’t doing the job. Ellie Stager came over early in the morning to take care of Jack while we were at the outpatient surgery clinic. Jack didn’t sleep very consistently [...]

Paper flurries in the forecast.

We’re at the in-laws house today, and me mum-in-law asked me to google “paper snowflakes”, so my little seven-year-old brother-in-law could make some. Go figure, there is a “papersnowflakes.com” It’s geometrical craft fun for the entire family!

See you in the funny papers.

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, now has a blog. He recently mentioned the whole Intelligent Design vs. Evolution issue, and got deluged with responses. I’m bringing it up because he said something in a later post on the issue of origins that sounds an awful lot like something I said just a little while ago

Swirly geometric goodness.

Well, she’s got a funny name (I should talk), but Bathsheba Grossman’s geometrically and mathematically-based art is truly spectacular. Some of her work has played deep background in a television program called Numb3rs. I haven’t seen it before, but I may check it out soon, because I am a geek and I freely admit it.

Fractal food in a calculating cosmos.

Brother David (a bit burnt out on blogging for now) just sent me an amazing webpage that profiles a vegetable that is a living, breathing fractal. Check it out, it is truly amazing. Here’s a funny, money quote from that page…

Profile of a Christian Chemist.

I’m starting to really like Katherine Kersten; she writes about things that few other people write about. Here’s her profile on Rutherford Aris, a brilliant scientist who also happens to be a Christian.

Save Gas, Ride a Horse.

The Salt Lake Tribune has a great article about a couple enterprising teenagers using some particularly lively alternative fuel vehicles. Too bad “school officials” felt like they had to squelch such original thinking.

“The moment we are rooted in a place, the place vanishes…”

[Also posted From Wit's End] “…We live like a tree with the whole strength of the universe…”

[I closed on the refinancing of my house this afternoon, and as i drove back to work, for some reason i felt like i owned a small part of everything i saw while i was driving; it was not an unpleasant feeling. I think it was yesterday that i was reading "Heretics" by G.K. Chesterton when i encountered the following passage, which i can now identify with, and which i continue from the title of today's entry:]

“…The globe-trotter lives in a smaller world than the peasant. He is always breathing an air of locality…
