Sailor, poet, and seablogger Alan Sullivan passed away on Friday, July 9, 2010.
This website will be my testament, for as long as it remains on line. Farewell, rare readers. It has been a privilege to know you.
For his not-so-rare readers, “Memorials to Church of the Little Flower, 1805 Pierce St., Hollywood, FL, 33020. Attention Fr. Tom.”
Simon Carter explains: How to take an expensive camera on a rock climbing expedition…
..and be sure that the camera (and you) survive the experience.
Best bit of advice – be confident in your climbing skills before you take the camera along

The Art of Title Sequences
Why would someone write a blog about Title Sequences? In their own words:
Remember when your heart sank just a little when you realized the Pink Panther movie wasn’t a cartoon?
Then, only a few years later, seeing Edward Gorey’s eerily fantastic opening to “Mystery!” capped with Vincent Price’s name on a headstone had your head spinning at the thought of the kind of stories those etchings could tell…if only the show was based on those illustrations.
Well, we want to see more of that. So watch and remember and create. And if you’ve got something to contribute, send it along.
Thanks,
Ian + AlexEditors, Art of the Title
My favorites: Aeon Flux, Catch Me if You Can, True Blood and (of course) Cowboy Bebop.
(Oh, and I still liked the Pink Panther movie, even if it wasn’t a cartoon. Any movie that has a car chase scene with gorillas is an instant classic

It’s a great day to be a particle physicist
Looks like the time travelers didn’t get back in time – in time: BBC: CERN LHC sees high energy success
Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has produced record-breaking high-energy particle collisions.
Scientists working on the European machine have smashed beams of protons together at energies that are 3.5 times higher than previously achieved.
Tuesday’s milestone marks the beginning of work that could lead to the discovery of fundamental new physics.
There was cheering and applause in the LHC control room as the first collisions were confirmed.
