new photos

after a really long hiatus, i've finally gotten around to uploading a new batch of photos to flickr.. there's quite a few new ones, so check 'em out, and let me know what you think.

here is a sample:

interesting article on environmental attitudes in the us of a

i particularly like the quote:

On average, passenger vehicles purchased in the US last year got 21.0 miles to the gallon; this was a worse gas mileage than the average passenger vehicle got 20 years earlier.

and:

In many parts of the country George Bush's recalcitrance isn't representative, but in others his equivo-cations look positively progressive: Senator James Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma, who chairs the Senate committee on environment and public works, has famously called global warming the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people".

sorry it's been a while since i've written anything. i just got back from australia on tuesday night, and i'm still jet-lagged. god, that flight is a killer! i had such an awesome time being back, although the combination of working and trying to catch up with everybody was exhausting!

to the people i didn't manage to catch up with; i'm sorry. it was just impossible to see everyone, and the people that i did see, i didn't get to spend nearly enough time with. i think that's just the way it goes :((

also, i had a party for my 30th. if you didn't get an invite, again, it was nothing personal. i organised it totally last minute (surprise!), and only did sms invites, so some of you who phone numbers i don't have didn't get one. sorry about that. to those who came, i had a really fun night. thanks :))

eden and i took a holiday up north for the last 5 days or so, which was awesome. we stayed for a couple of days with ruairi and pru in lismore, and then for 3 days out at a permaculture farm and education centre with tiku. it was a really beautiful way to spend my last week in aus.

here are some funny videos:
