Pi. No, not Pie.

Number geek that I am, I like pi. The 3.14159 kind.

Though I love pie too. Better than cake.

Orchids and More Orchids

Truth be told, I love orchids. I don't just like them. I'm enthralled by them.

It'll come as no surprise that I take photos of orchids.

Nerds Aren't Geeks, Nor Are They Dorks

When you hear the word nerd, what comes to mind?

I'm proud to say, I'm a nerd's nerd. Software for 30+ years.

That's me holding a Timex-Sinclair and a Captain Crunch Whistle.

Mallomars

If you're from the East Coast you know what a Mallomar is.

If not, you're missing out.

Further, the Ken Kesey Bus

If the name Ken Kesey rings a bell or you identified with the Merry Pranksters then the name "Further" rings a bell too.

Take a look at Further, the bus that figures so prominently in all the stores, myths, and lore.

Friday the 13th, the date not the movie

Are you even the bit superstitious about Friday the 13th? No, I'm not talking about the damn movie.

After ignoring Pinterest for far too long, I finally setup a number of pins that point into JetCityOrange.

It's sort of a visual index into JetCityOrange. But then again, isn't that what Pinterest is? A visual peek into external sites.

My Family's Eggnog Recipe

What is sold in cartons in the grocery store ISN'T eggnog. Or at least it's not real eggnog.

Spent Coffee Grounds

Living in Seattle I must say spent coffee grounds are available at any coffee house in town. Start composting them indoors or outside. You can even grow mushrooms on them.

Lava Lamp, the time lapse version

Who doesn't love Lava Lamps? The flow, the blob, the endless random changes.

What if I told you my Lava Lite not only made the local evening news but the story hit the wire services and went nuts.

True story.

Bokashi is an anaerobic composting technique.

Who doesn't like beer?

What about pizza and beer. Together. One hot, the other cold.

We all need calendars, even paper ones. Once again JetCityOrange is proud to share not one but THREE free 2017 calendars: JetCityOrange.com/calendar/

#Putin Pooh-poohs #Pot

So I get an odd email from Russia telling me the censors don't like my web page that talks about cannabis. Seems Putin doesn't like pot.

My reaction? Throw up a page in Russian about how to grow marijuana.

Frogs? How about frogs croaking?

Ready to hear some frogs croaking? Pretend it's a warm summer night...

The Sound of the Surf

Did someone say it's time to go to the beach?

Not bloody likely? Nor me.

How about listening to the sound of waves gently lapping on the shore. The peacefully sound of the surf...
