utah population map

utah is ripe for some nice mass transit options when so much of out population is so concentrated. imagine a light rail system running all the way from ogden to spanish fork, it would be awesome.

A hawk in class

Today in vertebrate zoology lab we had a hawk (or at least that's what I remember it as. But maybe it was a falcon) it was pretty rad to hear about it. This particular bird was used for falconry and I found the whole idea of using a bird to hunt with. It reminded me of all the history behind this ancient practice and got me interested in learning more about falconry. It seems like a pretty time intensive hobby, the owner of this bird had told us he lost one of his birds after it was attacked by another bird and his bird flew off to get away from it and this was all after he had spent days training it to return.

Interviews

I would like to interview more people. Get to know their opinions and thoughts on a variety of topics. I find it very interesting how people discuss their opinions and viewpoints. I think I will start interviewing people and post the recordings up here.

Any takers?

Bill Nye on the city of the future

So rad to see a scientist, someones whose profession it is to solve today's problems with tomorrows solutions, endorse bicycle use.
