So Thumper, my beloved LJ — a Jeep Rubicon Unlimited with lots of fixings — has been in storage in Colorado for a couple weeks now. I drove it out for the big Anasazi trek and then left it in Ouray, which is a far more fitting place for an awesome four-wheel-drive rig than […]

For the past few days I’ve been writing several academic articles, switching off and on between them as my mind wanes or items come in via InterLibrary Loan (ILL).

A gravatar, for those curious, is a Globally Recognized Avatar (or, alternatively, an avatar that gravitates after you). […]

As you may recall, on my recent trek into Anasazi country I came across a strange petroglyph that I suspected was a map. Since I knew of no other instances of Anasazi cartography, this would be an important discovery if proven to be true. Also, like my stumbling across medieval maps of America […]
