Humping along   It was raining when we left the boat, but it cleared long enough for a trek to Mendenhall Glacier, followed by a marine wildlife boat tour. We saw a bald eagle swoop down to steal a fish from a seal, a bear grazing in a green meadow by the water's edge, and a humpback whale mom and calf rolling around and leaping out of the water. For awhile they were joined by a seal (actually a sea lion, I think). An amazing show that went on for about half an hour. In the picture you can see the mom on the left, seal in the middle and calf on the right.Afterwards we had dinner with our friends Bill and Melanee, whom we met on the Linux Lunacy cruise last Fall. They confirmed my suspicion that there was no way a town as small, remote and unlikely as Juneau would not closely be following the basketball career of Carlos Boozer, native son. Just arrived in Skagway this morning. Not sure what we're going to do yet. Whatever, it won't be work. Running numbers Here's a fun little piece I did at the Linux Journal site. Semi-unrelated: interesting results searching at ixquick.com. Outblogreach Banners and Us is a new blog, subtitled an open channel with greenpeace folks. Peelings The Onion: Look Out, Corporate America, Here Comes my Pirate Radio Station. Bulls eye Eric Raymond's blog, Armed and Dangerous, has quickly made the Instapundit blogroll.
