The Man in the Mirror

February 16th, 2010

I’m going to try posting an interesting photo from my travels on a regular basis. I’ve got a pretty large number of photos that might be worth a look, posting all of them in a gallery would take a while but making a few of them into blog posts once in a while shouldn’t …read more

Beijing Beef vs Orange Chicken on Olympic opening day and free wifi at Houston airport

August 9th, 2008

En route from Belize City I decided to honor the start of the 2008 Olympic Games by taking the Panda Express challenge. A sign in Houston’s George Bush Intercontintal Airport posed the question: “Which is better, Beijing Beef or Orange Chicken”.

August 16th, 2007

This has been a very interesting trip. Some things I’d reccomend for your cross country train trip:
An extension cord- There seem to be only 3 outlets on the train and they are not placed in areas where you could sit and work. Also, one with multiple ends will allow you to make friends by sharing …read more

Amtrak + iPhone = Crazy Delicious

August 15th, 2007

Hour 51: Just hit Omaha, NB, 5.5 hours behind schedule. Lots of people got on in Denver so the train was full, now a lot of people are leaving.

Grand Junction: Not so grand

August 14th, 2007

Hour 29: I’m starting to think I should have brought some food with me on this trip. The cafe food is maybe on par with gas station food at triple the price. The dining car food isn’t much more but the menu is remarkably similar to the cafe: hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza. We stopped …read more
