"Midwesterners really have no familiarity with earthquakes whatsoever."
That is the MOST seriously prejudicial statement I've heard in years. I call bullshit. And I call it big time. When CalTrans developed their post-incident (earthquake) b... read more discussion post on Fri, May 16, 2008 - 10:28 AM

Lies? Do you have plausible deniability?

Stuff like this should be the lead story EVERY SINGLE DAY. The lady did the right thing, saving the animal from starvation. When people do the right thing, it's overlooked or forgotten. We should be shouting it from the highest rooftops and mou...

Kara, do I have to step in and ruin your rep? You did make one Love Junkie (who shall remain nameless) a happy camper. (I'm not gonna say any more).

And all this from a Chickenfucker trainee (they even had LAMINATES at Interfuse). There were four major groups of absolutely cool people at IF '08: The Chickenfuckers, the Love Junkies, the Iowa crowd,and the Interrangers.

From the Rhino's Heart
Being a geologist with a HUGE ego, sometimes I feel like I should justify myself to others in why my ego has to be so big. Today's one of those days. Let me tell you why.

The work I do is engineering geology. Unlike petroleum geology, where they can make mistakes and come up with 'dry holes', here there's no room for error. In the office, we do a LOT of peer review. I WELCOME peer review, it makes me a better geologist every time my work gets looked over by a fellow professional. And ... read more

Out of the clear blue sky today, it happened, and I now have a major league decision to make. Next month, the opportunity has now presented itself for me to do something that others in their lifetimes may only dream of. I was invited, at THEIR expense, to teach for a week in the People's Republic of China. The Chinese are sparing no expense on this invite. Somehow, some way, they have found out that I'm 'one of the top researchers/practitio... read more 
As the master of Go tells Nicholas Linnear in the Trevanian book, Shibumi, "What is Go but a game? And a shadow in a larger picture in metaphor of life?"

I learned to play the Go ban some years ago. Silly game? Perhaps. In its Westernized polluted form it's rather similar to Othello, but the latter game never appealed to me. In the book, Trevanian's main character, Nicholas Linnear, describes Go to a US Army sergeant during the Second World War: "Go is to the warrior-philosopher what... read more 
The photo you see is of a sinkhole in Daisetta, Texas, outside of Houston. This is a large sinkhole, and one which it seems nobody so far knows how to handle. It opened up just yesterday, and is already the size of two football fields.

Some of you may say, 'Well, Rhino, what do YOU know?' To which I say, "well, they've had similar sinkholes appear in the middle of I-70 in Kansas. Those they may never be able to remediate, because of their sheer size....up to a quarter mile across. Sam... read more

The silence within my soul is deafening. The hopes and dreams I have had for a fruitful future now fulfilled must be set aside. I must go home to a place I’ve never been. To those who have gone before me, please be patient with me as I enter. Once, in a place long ago and far away, I was reborn as the Rhino in a boiling cauldron of summer sweat, hot running rivulets of blood, and tears of frustration on Florissant Road - alone. At that point, I realized ... read more

Yo! Rhino knows. He's got a nose for the right kind of trouble. Fun and funny. I am pleased to have met him!

did you know that muse has an album titled HULLABALOO and it's label is Rhino Records?

Alright. I admit it.
I'm jealous of this man! He does it 'Right'. People love him. He is humble, human, and growing. He even admits it! I freaking hate him....sigh.... Alright, I love him too. Not in a Gay way. More like a Navy way. Nuff said. KK July 29, 2007
:Thoughts about a Rhino from a Redhead:
******************************* Okay...THIS man is extraordinary. I don't know how else to describe him... ...other then that you feel, when you meet him... ...that you've been in the biggest, coziest, warmest, most loving hug you ever could have imagined. And it's NOT a front. He is one of the most "for real" people I've known in a while. Truly genuine...sending love out in all directions all the time. The moment we met at Interfuse 2007--- I knew we'd be friends for lifetimes. ...and that makes this redhead smile~ ;)

Let me tell you about a man with a heart the size of a planet. He is always willing to give of his time, heart and money if it means helping someone else out. He puts others needs before him and truly personifies the qualities of a great man! I love you brother and I am so glad we met each other on this crazy journey of life.
