SLO trip

We went up to see John Prine at Cal Poly SLO. Nice campus, beautiful concert hall, great show. Stayed a couple of nights at San Simeon state beach. Expensive, but good location. We hung out in Cambria, the pier at San Simeon (love those Hearst Ranch burgers), and Morro Bay.

Night Sky Photo Tips / National Geographic

good stuff here

Michael Pollan / Gut Bacteria / NYT

interesting article, I should have posted the link when I'd freshly read it as I can't do it justice. it's about the bacteria in our intestines, how they get there, the types of bacteria, the good they do, etc.

Sheens vs. Jordan

 This is freaking awesome. Martin and Charlie Sheen competing against Michael Jordan in basketball skills. The video is in the link. As a Blazers and 90s Knicks fan it's ALWAYS good to see Jordan lose...
