Great Travel Photos
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006tickr for flickr (”Is That a Persian Rug?” edition)
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006OS X users: go get a copy of tickr, set your size to “Medium” or “Large (Whoa!)”, and type “| isfahan esfahan” into it. You’ll be glad you did.
Alternatively, you can view the flickr stream here, but the joy is in the higher resolution photos just streaming across (or down) your screen.
The Nuclear Technology/Research Center in Esfahan is one of Iran’s suspected uranium enrichment facilities. Esfahan is also a major cultural center and home to some of the finest Persian rugs made in the world (along with Nain, Tabriz, Kashan, Yazd, and Najafabad).
Update: more stunning photos of Isfahan, Iran.

Dad Enjoying Hawaii over the Holidays
Saturday, January 15th, 2005
Happy family photo from Hawaii over the holidays. Hey, we did have some December sun here, too, while they were enjoying their warm evening cocktail parties.
Pictures…
Tuesday, May 25th, 2004We finally found a fast enough connection to upload pictures.
Running out of time on the Internet, as always. Free DSL at the Best Western in Boone is fine and all, but why is checkout at 11 AM? That’s downright evil.
