A Total Lunar Eclipse

happened in Boston on October 28th, 2004. If you don't believe me, well, I have photographic evidence.

Tensegrity

structures are amazing. This one that I made is pretty adorable, hmm? But this other one in Random goes up to the fourth floor - whoa! They may be winning...

             

Photos of the Random Hall tensegrity are from the Random Hall blog and were posted by Ternus.

A Bike Ride

with family at Metro Beach Metropark is a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Water, exercise, sunsets, wildlife (although the deer ran off too quickly to get a picture), and a lovely summer day. Win. :)

The MIT Grad Gala

is a great way to relax and socialize with your fellow MIT graduate students.
...
But, wait a minute! That guy dancing with me doesn't seem to fit either of those criteria! And what in the world is going on on that balcony?!?

                   

Some (low-res) photos courtesy of the official Grad Gala 2008 photo gallery.

Origami

is also awesome. About time that showed up in this blog, hmm?

                     

Photos from the Sailboat Challenge at the 2006 Origami USA Convention in New York City, plus two super extra bonus pictures of my sailboat. :)

A Giant Pumpkin

appeared in Kresge last year, along with a bunch of smaller glass pumpkins.
...
Huh?

The Demaine's seem to know what's up, though. Maybe it will happen again this year.

           

Photos of the glass pumpkins are from the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch website. :)

Strawberries

are not something you expect to find by the side of the road in Cambridge. That expectation is probably wrong, though. Thoughts?

Segways

...
And, hey! That person on it in the last picture looks familiar...Nice Hat!

Sailing on Lake St. Clair

is fun. We have two boats, a Thistle and a Laser.

The first two images are of me - first sailing the Laser in to dock (although I'm on the wrong side of the boat), then skippering the Thistle (taken from within the Thistle).

The second two show the Thistle from far away, and my brother sailing the Laser.
