Sunset at Haystock Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon
This video of one of the Space Shuttle’s solid rocket boosters falling back to Earth after a launch is memorizing. It seems so fake when it’s silently tumbling through outer space and then jarringly real when the chutes deploy and it then plops in to the ocean.
Slide to the 1:50 mark to skip the boring part.
Wow, I can’t believe I went through all of July without posting anything. Let’s chalk it up to a combination of sketchy internet access, a broken iPhone and an overall desire to spend less time on the grid.
As a welcome back, here’s a video I made of my time in the antipodes. I didn’t take much footage there, and I created this montage in order to teach myself iMovie, so don’t expect much.
Many thanks to @fadodc for the free bar tab and @dcunited for Jabulani ball and tickets to the Sounders game on July 15th. Lots of good pictures of us at the viewing party are online here.
Although this was a week ago in Edinburgh, it totally reflects the excitement I felt watching the USMNT victory over Algeria today. Anybody who says Soccer is boring needs to watch a replay of that game, and I defy them to tell me that Footie isn’t the most emotional, unfair, rewarding, heartbreaking, passionate, exciting game there is.
On the ferry from Stornaway on the Isle of Lewis to Ullapool on the Scottish mainland. We knew they would be showing the USMNT vs. Slovenia game so we suited up and got to watch the whole game. Surprisingly, we didn’t really get much attention from people on the ship - except when screaming our lungs out after each US goal (including the third one…)
