via plixi.com Alexander Florov – Sketch of Colossus from the #X-Men Thanks for the request via Twitter, Alex. This is a great portrayal of the warrior/ poet character of Colossus.

When I started Serengeti Appreciation Month it was as a distraction from planning my sister’s wedding, and after the wedding I took an impromptu trip to California to teach tai chi and visit friends. The hardest part of blogging is not having a deadline, as well as not getting paid to do it; so, Serengeti […]
For some odd reason I was prevented from uploading this song to my last post. Here is the song Rich: Download now or listen on posterous 12-serengeti-rich-ftd.mp3 (6961 KB) After listening to Gasoline Rainbows at work today, I am less confident in how much this song represents the album.

Here are a couple youtube videos I produced, nothing special. Worth a watch though. This first is a documentary called Time on Task, about the Victoria Chen Style Tai Chi Academy. The second is a slide show/ video from our school’s annual dinner. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc9DKsXR8lc&hl=en&fs=1&]
Have you ever wondered why gorillas are estimated to be fifty times as strong as a human, yet you never see one in a gym pumping iron? Or, how a little cat can jump up to and above ten feet in the air, when you never see them training to do so? They use internal […]
On Saturday my roommate, Rusto, was t-boned doing a u-turn in his van. The van is a write off and he is lucky to be alive. He is a professional cab driver and he screwed up, anyone can. Be careful driving in the rain. I’ve been calling him Kanye West but he doesn’t get it.
