Twin Peaks cyberpunk
There is something very cyberpunk about San Francisco. From Twin Peaks tonight it looked like a Blade Runner matte painting.



I spent Christmas in Massachusetts with my family, buried under a couple feet of snow. In a nutshell, my nephew loves trains and my niece is addicted to anything involving dairy. The kids are adorable and the family is doing well; there are plenty of pictures on Flickr that I won't bore you with (it's like watching someone else's vacation slides).

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays, and I wish you all a happy new year!

Wow... it's only missing the hovercars...

I glad you didn't post a link to your pictures so I wasn't bored by photos of your grandfather's workshop. On an unrelated note, how, exactly, do you rescue ships with a cannon?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too! Did you guys survive the snow? Were there wolves and igloos and such? (I assume that's what happens when it in Seattle.)

The ship rescue cannon is awesome! I got to see a demonstration in North Carolina once. If you have a ship wrecked pretty close to shore (stuck on a sandbar, for instance), you use it to shoot a line out to the ship. Once it's tied off, there's a bucket that carries one person at a time back to shore. I think you have to be a good shot though... if you miss the ship the first time, your rope is all spooled out and then what do you do?
