bday is one of my birthday parties in junior high, attended by 
John Kajdan (green shirt) and Duncan Tipton (purple shirt)
as well as myself (red shirt).

birthday_1988 is an earlier birthday party, attended by 
(clockwise from left) unidentified, Brent Finch, Josh Geldersma, 
Sheldon Nalos, Paul Reichman, David Bowler, and myself.

build_little_house shows the 8'x8' shed I built around 1988.
It's still standing today, so I'm proud.

chickenpox shows myself as a very skinny, spotted 14-year old.

construction shows me in my early teens working on an addition 
on the east side of our house.  I believe the larger kid to the 
right of me at the bonfire is Mickey Fischer.

etc1.jpg_part2.jpg is me in 6th grade, holding a construction 
paper and crayon collage that later won me some sort of prize
from Elmer's Glue.  For some reason I chose a view corresponding
to some fourty feet in the air off to the west of our house, 
where I'd never been.

etc2.jpg_part2.jpg is my little brother wading in the Yukon river,
north of Fairbanks.  He's been blurred out below the waist for
privacy's sake; he should be glad I didn't just photoshop him out
alltogether.

etc2.jpg_part3.jpg shows me at my orange belt qualification
for Tae Kwan Do, which Dad and I really enjoyed for about 
a year.

renaissance_fair_1988 shows myself and a cherubic Troy at the
Anchorage renaissance fair, which I really enjoyed.  Yes, that's
a spray-painted flowerpot on my head.  My armor is mostly 
spray-painted cardboard, but some parts are the inside of 
aluminum cans.  This was perhaps my first experience working 
with metal; one of my ongoing fascinations.


rockin_gerbils_1988 shows my fifth grade Science Fair 
project--a Lego maze we had two gerbils run, both with and
without rock music blaring.  We only did two runs each, so 
it wasn't a particularly small confidence interval.

room shows me and my Mac Classic around 1990.  I was doing a 
fair amount of freelance computer consulting (installing software,
troubleshooting hardware, etc.), and wanted some publicity
photos.  I discovered how difficult it is to get a photo to 
actually match your vision.
