Monday, October 8, 2012 11:03 A.M. Most people know what El Nino is, and most people also know what La Nina is. But if you throw around the highly scientific term “La Nada,” most people will raise their eyebrows, cock their head, and ask you to repeat yourself. “La Nada” is the term affectionately given […]
So Long, Treadmill
Saturday, October 6, 2012 4:02 P.M. It’s been a pretty boring run, but we are approaching the end I love running, but I absolutely hate treadmills. With a treadmill, you don’t get the relaxing breeze in your face, you don’t get to explore new places around the city, and you are in constant danger of […]
A Record Low for Arctic Sea Ice
Monday, September 24, 2012 10:43 A.M. On September 16, 2012, the arctic reached a record low for sea ice cover. Now, it is finally expanding as autumn arrives, but it is still well below average. The sea ice cover this year fell to 3.41 million kilometers, which is 18% less than the previous record for […]
Making Something Out of Nothing
Sunday, September 23, 2012 3:10 P.M. It’s been bad. Interesting weather is my drug of choice, and unlike most recreational drugs, it has good long term effects which include but are not limited to career opportunities, meeting new people, and the knowledge to impress and win the hearts of millions in the Seattle metropolitan area. […]

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) – For Dummies
Tuesday, September 11, 2012 9:17 P.M. It’s El Niño–Southern Oscillation… …For Dummies! Let me first start out by saying no copyright infringement is intended. I know that doesn’t change anything, but it makes people less likely to sue you for “stealing intellectual property.” Nobody likes a thief, but people are generally kinder to thieves with good […]
Sooooo close!!!
Monday, September 10, 2012 8:18 P.M. .01 inches. The smallest measurable amount of precipitation possible. And that is what ruined our dry streak of 48 days. I was actually thinking that Seattle might make it through this front without getting any rain. I was outside from 5 P.M. to 9 P.M. that night walking and […]
Bye Bye Dry Streak
Saturday, September 8, 2012 9:07 P.M. As I write this blog, I’m listening to Miles Davis’ and John Coltrane’s famous rendition of “Bye Bye Blackbird.” It’s a wonderful song, but as I listen to Miles’ soulful tone, I can’t help but feel a bittersweet sentiment in my soul. Because for me, the “Blackbird” is not […]
It’s Been 50 Days…
Thursday, September 6, 2012 10:24 P.M. … since my last blog post. Summer kind of does that to you. The more free time you have, the less you feel like doing. I’ve actually been quite busy with music and jobs, but that is no excuse for being off this blog for 50 days. However, I […]
If You Can Hear Thunder, Does That Mean There is Lightning?
Friends say the darndest things… I don’t have the same “drive” to update my blog in the summer as I do in the winter. You’ve probably noticed. But folks, this last week has been pretty amazing. I can’t recall ever seeing a week with as much thunderstorms in the lowlands as this one. And while […]
