A short video of one of my better solo landings.  If you have audio you can hear my instructor (who is from New Zealand) giving me moral support through the entire landing.

Today, for the first time in my life, I flew a plane by myself.  The experience was incredible.

This is a picture of me soon after I landed. (Note the feces consuming grin.)

Was sitting in my living room today thinking of ways to photograph our newly harvested Christmas Tree when it occurred to me to try taking a picture from inside the tree.  Taking my trusty iPhone with me I ventured headfirst into Holiday uncertainty and took a series of photos.  These were the best two.  They are both the same shot, just one of them has the iPhone's HDR feature turned on.  Which do you like better, HDR (picture 1) or Normal (picture 2)?

Had a revelation in my flying lesson today.

"Landing = managing your mistakes well."

Applies to living as well, actually.

Ran into this on my way home.  Notice the Chrysler on the flatbed wrecker truck just behind the tractor trailer.  Hope everyone made it out alive.

"You can't just sit there and watch them," says Ritchie, now 84, perched on his beloved green leather chair, from which he keeps a watchful eye on the cliff outside. "You gotta try and save them. It's pretty simple."

This guy decided to build a centrifuge to see if a lava lamp would work on Jupiter. Did he build it in a warehouse? Nope! He built it in his living room!  

No, I am not kidding.

The guy has guts I'll give him that.
