Went to yoga class tonight... for the first time in over 10 years, I think. My old teacher at her new place. New to me, not to her. I just had to get back to yoga, as I've been doing extensive breath and posture work as part of my biofeedback training. It was ridiculous not to. I liked it better tonight than I did 10 or 11 years ago. Damn, I was just a kid then. Makes more sense to me now. I had to go away and come at it from a completely different angle. The idea of relaxation was offensive to the young punk, but to the stressed-out worker bee, it ain't so bad. And it was a freakin' workout, too.

A WEAKENED WORLD CANNOT FORGIVE US:
AN INTERVIEW WITH KATHLEEN DEAN MOORE
'We don't lead lives of "quiet desperation," as Thoreau claimed. We lead lives of relentless separation....'

Nice (yes, nice, and very interesting) interview with a philosopher with a heart, to go along with the brain.

Streetmap.co.uk- grid location Totally cool. Aerial views of London with maps. I love maps, and I especially like the style of British city maps. Just 'cause they're different from ours.

Show me, you say (to my bragging that I had taken good pics of Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona. Here's a self-portrait there. 1986.)

"Gadgets for God" (and my never dying love of this sort of thing. Waning, but not dying.)

Holy shit. I have never heard of this hobby. Little helicopters! I want one! Be sure to check out the videos.

Incredible. The amazing Gaudi had designed a hotel for the location that eventually became the location of the World Trade Center, way back in 1908. There are folks (including me, now that I've heard about it) who'd like to see it built.

I made a pilgrimage to several Gaudi locations in Barcelona, way back in 1986. I think I may have to dig up some of my photos and post them to that greatbuildings site, since they have none of Parc Guell. I also took some great shots -- if I may say so -- at Sagrada Familia.

Visit Buxley's Geocaching Waypoint for maps, statistics and more!

Geocaching. Interesting use for a GPS unit. Nerdy fun. I borrowed a GPS unit from my Dad to see if we could get exact coordinates when we go kayaking, or measure our exact speed and distance, but haven't figured out if a waterproof container would inhibit satellite detection. The units aren't as robust as I thought they'd be. Glad I borrowed instead of buying.

Saw a tree full of Cedar Waxwings at lunch today. They are such cool looking birds. I even dreamed about them last night, so it was a nice synchronicity to see them today.

Saw the Frida movie finally. I enjoyed it, but I think I'd have to agree with Tom at IMproPRieTies in regards to the Hollywoodization of her story.

I've been a Frida Khalo freak since way back when -- 1982 or so? -- when I first saw a tiny reproduction of one of her paintings in ArtForum. I read the Herrera book that the movie was based on 10 or so years ago when it came out (1991). (I guess I'm just bragging that I've been into the art of Frida Khalo since before it was cool and before it became almost trite through oversaturation. I take that back -- her art is not trite. But it has become as mainstream as Andy Warhol's soup cans.) I find it disturbing that the new edition of the book has the actress' portrait on it rather than the real deal.

Tom also has a link to a cool Frida site. They have a section on the cult of Frida. They oughta have Frida Kitsch section. The keychains, t-shirts, etc. The Frida cult and the Frida industry or marketing niche.

Building human strength: psychology’s forgotten mission
"Psychology is not just the study of weakness and damage, it is also the study of strength and virtue. Treatment is not just fixing what is broken, it is nurturing what is best within ourselves."

I really have been on a birding bonanza lately. Just about every day of the holidays, I added a bird or two to my list. Very fun. I got the truck stuck deep in mud trying to get a better glimpse of my first Caracaras on my way down to Houston. Very striking birds, indeed.

New Year's Day (yesterday), Jenni and I (not hungover!) went for a hike along Barton Creek and Gaines Creek. About 4 miles, some of it straight up. We saw another lifer, or it would've been if we could've identified it. A type of Warbler with a yellow streak down the middle of its head. Another beautiful day.

John and I went kayaking on Barton Creek on New Year's Eve day. I checked the levels around 9 A.M. and didn't remember to check again before leaving. Not that it would've mattered. Between the time we parked the cars and the time we reached the creek, the creek had gone from 150 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 450 cfs. We hiked upstream about a half mile, with our boats. My old school Mongoose weighs 40 pounds plus. But it was a gorgeous day and not too cold.
