A Big Day at the Naval Undersea Museum

Posted on: 2 January 2010 /
Categories: Museums, Travel

Keyport, Wash. » Probably *every* day is a big day there though. The Naval Undersea Museum is a museum located in Keyport, Wash., which is pretty close to the big ol’ Navy base in Bremerton as well as the unknown-sized Navy submarine base in Bangor.

Elwha Valley, Humes Ranch Loop, and Goblins Gate (A Six-Mile Hike)

Posted on: 2 January 2010 /
Categories: Hiking, Travel

It may have been less than six miles. Part of the route was washed out. I think. It was hard to tell. There were signs, there were counter-signs. Anything was possible and therefore nothing mattered. It’s inside Olympic National Park, in the Elwha Valley area-thing. Here’s the picture that I’ve decided I want to have

Itinerary for Maui (Which Is Where I Am)

Posted on: 1 January 2010 /
Categories: Hawaii

Coming to you from the cheapest hotel on all of Maui — good-sized room, kind of dark everywhere, and it smells like Herb the barber (he cut my hair when I was a kid). I’m guessing this didn’t used to be a non-smoking room. And given that I’m on Maui, I’m forced to wonder whether

The Evergreen Air and Space Museum

Posted on: 31 December 2009 /
Categories: Museums, Travel

The Evergreen Air and Space Museum is “actually” two museums, meaning that it’s housed in two buildings (three if you count the IMAX theater) and they charge admission separately unless you buy admission for both together. Pretty museum, solid collection of stuff, and they have the Spruce Goose.

The Indistinct Redwood National Park and a Bunch of Other Indistinct Little Parks

Posted on: 31 December 2009 /
Categories: road trips, Travel

So after the coast, the trees. Y’know, on my cross-country road trip, during which I visited a bunch of parks, it came to my attention that not every national park is like the national parks in Washington state. The parks in Washington state make sense to me. They’re big, there’s a lot to do there,

Way Northern California Coast

Posted on: 31 December 2009 /
Categories: road trips, Travel

It’s been a couple weeks, but I don’t know that the photo album idea is really going to take off and even if it did, it’s not really a great forum for expressing the deepest, inner-most feelings of my heart regarding, you know, topographical features, coast lines and tall trees and such. Been a couple

National Parks List — Mostly Visited

Posted on: 8 December 2009 /
Categories: Travel

Posted this list originally here. Now updating! I no longer think that I necessarily need to see every single US National Park before I die. The hamburger list has left me a changed man. OTOH, I’m pretty interested in going to Samoa now, so, you know. Things change. Alpha by park and I bolded the

BTW, I’m Not Posting Here Much During the Trip

But I’m posting a lot over at the other blog: 48stateroadtrip.com. Check me out there or on Facebook, I guess, where I brilliantly re-direct people back to the blog. bkd

Turns Out I’m Not Any Stupider Than I Was 14 Years Ago

Posted on: 7 July 2009 /
Categories: Doctoral Study, Self

At least, not according to the Graduate Management Admissions Council. Although, to analyze my own assertion, I should note the following unsupported assumptions: The GMAT in 2009 does not necessarily test in the same manner as it did in 1995. The scores may be scaled differently today. The test may not be a good measure

Things I Will Not Miss About My Computer at Work

Posted on: 3 July 2009 /
Categories: Other

Mostly Windows- and Outlook-related. XP even, not Vista. “Restore active desktop” button appearing on my desktop, behind my icons, for no clear reason. Recurrent “valkyrie.dll” issues. Normal.dot preventing me from shutting down. 20 minutes from turning the computer on until being able to do something with it. Daily emails telling me my “mailbox is full”
