Discover the Cosmos
I am an avid stargazer and love learning more about our little galaxy we live in. I have two peak experiences under the night sky. One was in Northern BC under the Northern Lights with an amazing array of colors and energy shapes. The other was in Maui on top of an ancient volcano. The Leonids Meteor Shower was at its peak and I was there to observe 50 meteors in about an hour. That was fun! I stumbled upon a site from NASA that has some very cool photos of comets, galaxies and all sorts of wierd stuff in space. Click around for some wonderful space photos and then bow your head and say "I love the internet!". Space pics here.

Extreme Kayaking
Checkout these crazies from Norway and Iceland as they hit some sick lines. Towards the end the fall must be 50 feet and they just plunge in. Get your fix here.

Cruising Dreams
I am a cruiser at heart. I look forward to the day when I can cast off the lines and head west to New Zealand. Until then, I am constanly looking at cruising boats and researching their cruising attributes. Here is an example of a highly regarded cruising boat - the KP 44. This boat will take you anywhere in comfort and style. Lots of room below for all the food and toys, and can easily sail more than 150 miles a day. Let's see, that will get me to Hawaii in about 18 days! Check this review and start dreaming yourself! Click here.

Back In Action!
I have been working with Macs since the Lisa in 82'. My Ibook died in June so I purchased a Macbook. Wow, what a nice machine. Unfortunatly these new computers have been running too hot. The new Intel processer is fast but hot. So hot it was melting the insulatin of the heatsink and causing the computer to randomly shut down. We have two MB's at our house and both were affected. Once Apple figured it out in early September, they were able to make the fix. New heatsink design and a much cooler machine. The bad news is this happened to 1000's of folks with brand new computers. They were not happy campers. But now they have the fix and it took me 2.5 days to send it from SF to Tenn. get the fix and I am back online. If you are looking for a new laptop, these are great ones. The new builds donot have this problem so go get one. For you PC folks, the cool thing about the new Macs is, you can run Windows and Mac side by side on one machine! How cool is that?
