Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400

The world is always, ALWAYS, weirder than you can imagine.

Don't forget the Cheesecake Factory owner built a cult compound to last for 700 years in order to welcome the return of Meher Baba, the Sufism Reoriented guru and inspiration for the song "Baba O'Reilly" The House Of Worship The Cheesecake Factory Built | The FADER share.google/HcHXc1OXPeg8...

The colors at sunrise were *insane* this morning. The sky, the fall colors at Promontory Point, the lake...Sheesh! Sure picked a good morning to wake up early

If you really want to see just how these think tankers are lying their asses off about the Cheesecake factory just asked to see their submitted expenses for the last year and count up how many time they ate at the Cheesecake factory. You won't need a spreadsheet to calculate the zero times.

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

It's nearly Short-eared Owl season here in the Pacific Northwest. It's been a while since I've gone out to photograph them, but this was a happy memory from one of my first forays some 15 years ago.

Now that the Trib editorial board is against it, I feel compelled to seriously consider the idea given the Trib's ed boards track record of being so consistently wrong.

From the Editorial Board: Yes, the parks are a wreck after they get trampled on for several days, but the festival sponsors pay for their restoration.

chicagotribune.comEditorial: Vote ‘no’ on a permanent festival space for Chicago

#Connect2Nature #Birds #BirdoftheDay Today's theme is #LMNO, which of course to me means #Owl... Here are two little Eastern Screech Owls - one in grey phase and one in Rufous (Red Phase) Taken at a Raptor Conservatory. #Nature #Photography

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today. Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock. Great grandchild of Condor # 1. We as humanity can still do good things. #birds

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that friction—for lack of a better word—is good.

This is exactly the principle that has fucked up everything from deli flyers to UX in billion-dollar products Once upon a time, even if you were doing something on your own, it took long enough to do that it made you think about what you were doing! You had time to think "hang on, this sucks."

Some interesting observations here: Nashville and Austin both have job geographies that look more coastal than Sun Belt, suggesting investment in public transit there would be very successful. Chicago and Philly, despite strong downtowns, suffer from inner ring decay. Dallas is The Bad Place.

yeah I miss Bioware. I also miss Westwood, I miss Origin, I miss LucasArts, I miss Sierra, I miss Looking Glass, I miss SSI, I miss Interplay, I miss Bullfrog, I miss Sensible, just mergers and buyouts and then stripping the fucking copper from the walls and throwing our history in the garbage.
