I love the Library of Congress' flickr photostream. They are constantly adding interesting old copyright free images. I saw this one and wanted to add to the story.

Team photos for our five student teams from the ETC. You can learn more about the projects at our ETC Silicon Valley blog.

I spent the late afternoon at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve near Half Moon Bay, CA. The tidepools are locally famous, and there was a very low tide at 5:30pm today - right about sunset. I thought I could get some nice tidepool creature shots and a Pacific Ocean sunset all in one trip. The [...]

Day 4 of holiday family days. Wow that's a lot of green.
For Eric's day we went to the LUNAR monthly high-power rocket launch at Snow Ranch in the Sierra foothills. By being so far away from civilization they can get clearance to go to 15,000 feet.

Every year between Christmas and New Years we do 'Family Days' where each member of the family is responsible for a day's schedule. For my day we went to the USS Hornet, a retired aircraft carrier moored in Alameda. We spent about four hours on board touring the ship - which wasn't enough to see [...]
