Capitol Mimefest

April 20, 2009

Immortal Be-garfield I reasoned that since someone placed this majestic statue of “James A. Garfield” in front of the US Capitol, he must have done something important. I never bothered to check the cover of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, so we may never know. But, man alive, that would suck to be immortalized in [...]

Since November, I’ve participated in the EnvironMentors program, a DC-based education initiative that prepares students from underrepresented backgrounds for careers in environmental science. The EnvironMentors program pairs high school students with scientists and engineers across industry and academia for a one-on-one mentoring relationship that culminates in a year-long environmental research project. High school students learn [...]

A Neurosigntist’s Lopsided Point of View

April 13, 2009

Lopsignded When Lindsor, Michael, and I saw this BigFoot Awareness Week sign on 16th street, we went completely out of our way to capture its strange and unusual orientation. Why would this Bigfoot be positioned at a 45 degree angle? Was it falling backwards? Were we falling forward? This meant something. This was important. Over [...]

On Monday, the Pentagon Channel did a 3 minute special report on emerging technologies at the Department of Defense. Another special report? you ask yourself. Yes, another special report, except this one draws heavily from actual dialogue of the Armed with Science audio webcast, including an audio clip of last week’s guest, Dr. Mark Drapeau. [...]

Rock, Paper, MimeFest Michael and Lindsor’s recent trip to Washington, D.C., provided a wonderful opportunity to experience the history, culture, and vitality of our great nation’s capital. Most importantly, it provided a plethora of opportunities to photograph complex aerial mimes next to popular civic statues and memorials. We got the ball rolling in Lafayette Park, [...]

Messin’ with Mimefest Spring is a wonderful time in our nation’s capital. Life-giving showers have reinvigorated our plants and our spirits as we prepare for the summer heat and the arrival of thousands of Bigfoots into the DC metro area.

This extended weekend has been quite an emotional experience. First, the Cardinals beat the Eagles in dramatic fashion to reach the Super Bowl for the first time ever. Then, DC is transformed into a circus because of Obama’s Inauguration. And, finally, Saw V came out on DVD today (I’ve already watched it). I still haven’t [...]

Gone, baby gone Jenny and I were recently discussing potential events that could ruin the Presidential Inauguration weekend. We came up with two. One was the Cardinals losing to the Eagles in the NFC Championship. This did not happen. The other event was the sudden, unexplainable destruction of the famous U Street Pull-up Tree. This [...]

Look, five signs — CRAZY!!! In a strange way, I kind of admire the person who so carefully lined up these five signs. It shows thoughtfulness…or lunacy. And, hey, an act of lunacy never hurt anyone.
