When it comes to emergency/lifesaving gear, I always go with the best that money can buy. There's no wiggle room.

Huh?? Come on in, the water's fine!

Mutant salmon? Pffffft not even remotely ... ummm ... scary.

Haaaaa!! Now where did I leave that thing?! *hands on hips*

Of course!

No, it's numb anyway so I just went without gloves.

Nothing that exotic, I was working on my fat tired mtn bike tuning it for a big ride, and stuck my hand in the spinning brake rotor. It's a "guillotine digital amputation". I got all the parts, now they have to stick it back together. In happier news, I went for that ride today! Clear and cold. Perfect.

Dang. The Maestro has spoken. Seriously

Tom, that was a great article! I think using the term "hologram" is a misnomer in this application but the concept of the Universe being a "projection" of a flatter reality is pretty interesting. Thanks for the link.

I see the orthopedic surgeon Monday, hopefully to get it pinned.

Mine says hello from the woods in Alaska!

You'll have to tell me about your software and how it would apply here. Now I'm curious! Never been to Alaska? This was filmed within a 5 mile radius of my home. Watch closely, in one part you can watch the ocean come up, then freeze. http://vimeo.com/45105667

Right back atcha!

Ooooooo a fan of Descartes!

Oh yeah! 821 from E-burg to Yakima on my motorcycle... good times.

That McMurdo is a fine piece, it ought to work for the coldest temps you'll run into, and should last the rest of your life. If you do get sent here let's arrange a mini-GTG, eh?

Ahoy mate, welcome aboard. I lived on Bainbridge Island for 8 years, where do you hail from? Enjoy the madness!

Well aren't I the obstinate one, I would have suggested something truly useful like the North Face Denali jacket. Yes people say it's sized too big... when you're the size of a moose, like me, you like it big. I go through about one every year and they're the Bomb. Windproof in the chest, 300-weight fleece means they're warm enough for subzero aerobic activity, and they refuse to tear. They have pit zips and nice big napoleon pockets. I burn holes in mine else they'd last a lot longer. If you're not the size of a moose then look at the Arc'teryx Atom jacket. It's even nicer but it's sized for girlie men.

Tribal! Welcome back!

Hey E! I gotta admit that's from a web resource, there are verrrrrry few Inupiat speakers left. There are another 8 or 10 "Eskimo" languages here, even harder to learn! Here's Inupiaq: "Quvianagli Anaiyyuniqpaliqsi suli Nakuuluni Ukiutqiutiqsi" Aleut: "Kamgan Ukudigaa" Alutiiq: Spraasnikam! Ahtna: "C'ehwggelnen Dzaen" Gwich'in: "Drin tsal zhit shoh ohlii & Drin Choo zhit zhoh ohli" Inupiatun: Quvianaq Agaayuniqpak Kotukon: Denaahuto' Hoolaahn Dedzaahn Sodeelts'eeyh Tlingit - Xristos Khuwdziti Kax Sh Kaxtoolxetl And there's bunches more!

Jump in bed and cover your head folks, he's coming!

Close, it's one of the Eskimo dialects. Inupiat.

I like it!! Very nice. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Asci! Let's see a Norsk-Jeep pic!

Nice! Nokian Hakkapeliittas? I use big BF Goodrich Mud T/As on the Rover.
