Publications:

Put your unused cpu to work! Seti@home is a worlwide group that processes radio telescope data on Unix boxes, PCs, and Macs. It runs as a screensaver or a background job, so it doesn't interfere with the main use of the computer. The data was collected as a "piggyback" on other time on the telescopes. Come join over a million other researchers!

Not sure what to do with old journals and magazines? Bridge to Asia sends books, journals, and magazines to libraries in Asia. In addition to back issues (and current!) of scientific journals, they take some popular magazines. We save and send National Geographic, Scientific American, Science, and Smithsonian. Don't have any magazines to send? Give them a check to help pay the cost (high) of shipping these materials.

Defend Your Data
The ACLU helps protect our rights. I don't agree with everything they do, but I agree with enough to be a "card-carrying member".

Ryan and Dylan are into so many things that they have their own children's page.

All our vacation stories and pictures have been moved to the vacations page.

In June 1998 we hosted the Kintanar Family Reunion. Seventeen people (including us) for 10 days. The first time everyone was together in 23 years!

Bicycling (esp. tandems)

Our pet cats

Reading: Science Fiction, Mysteries, and various science magazines

Hiking and Camping with the kids

Other Kid Stuff

Space Exploration and Advocacy

Landscaping

Science and Technology funding is much less than I think it should be, and some of that is not put to best use. Bill Stevens has a Science and Technology Funding page which talks about what can be done to improve funding.

The Nature Conservancy helps protect endangered species by saving entire ecosystems (well, at least small parts of entire ecosystems.)

TV? You actually think we watch TV? Well, we do- some. We watch KNME (pbs) and we watch Babylon5 (can't keep those aliens straight? Check out the Lurker's Guide for all you need to know.) A great show is Junkyard Wars . Two teams compete to build a specific machine from stuff found in a junkyard. They have 10 hours to build and then they race or compete in some fashion. (Don't tell the kids, but there is a lot of science and some engineering discussed.)

We also listen to KUNM the public radio station in the area.

The picture at the top was cropped from a studio portrait of the whole family.
