Photo: Walk Upright

29th
Dec. × ’09

I took this photo in Puerto Varas. So far it’s the only one I took that day with a comment on the sosauce.com album. When the email notification came through and said “Your photo ‘Walk upright’ has a new comment” I thought “I don’t recognize that caption…” So I looked at the photo again, and [...]

Photos: mountains. Update: Illness.

What Mount Osorno looked like this time: What Mount Osorno looked like back in March: Yesterday I took a walk around Punta Arena, the southernmost city in Chile. Man, that is one ugly place to visit! I took a few photos, but it’s hard to find an interesting shot. I may talk more about it [...]

Repeating Stories in Genesis and Hints of the Shared Identity of the Patriarchs

28th
Dec. × ’09

This blog post is on a subject which I find fascinating, but most readers will find a bit obscure, that being Higher Biblical Criticism. It’s the first draft of a 19 page/8,000 word paper where I lay out my theory that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were once considered the same person. Well, I’ve got to [...]

Sunglasses (and getting into a fight)

26th
Dec. × ’09

Yesterday I picked up my sunglasses, and one of the lenses fell off. YES! Why I am I happy with this? Well, I have a bad track record with sunglasses. I either lose or break them. And I do this often, normally within a week or two of buying a pair. These sunglasses I bought [...]

26th
Dec. × ’09

Back on the day wordpress ate that blog post, I went out for the day in the Chilean Lake District. The area has some of the most spectacular mountains and volcanoes as scenery. Unfortunately the clouds had settled low over the hills, and all you I could see were the lakes. I took a bus [...]

I just wrote a longer blog post about this photo and my day out today. But wordpress ate it. That’s the first time I’ve ever lost a blog post on wordpress. If I can find it I’ll post it again tomorrow. If not, I’ll post something similar tomorrow.

Combat (working title) and my writing process.

20th
Dec. × ’09

I’ve mentioned on twitter that I’ve finally completed the novel I began writing in August. I’ll hopefully be releasing it in January. A few people have emailed me asking for more information about it, and other have asked me to write a bit more about the writing process. The following essay is very long, and [...]

Thoughts on watching sport

19th
Dec. × ’09

When I was growing up, I didn’t play much sport. I think this is down to having a disabled father who wasn’t able to play football with us kids. More importantly (for this post) we never had a TV in the house, so watching sport was never even an option. The first time I tried [...]

Photo: Two cruise ships

18th
Dec. × ’09

I’m currently working on the Norwegian Sun. I say “working” but, hey, I’m a juggler. It’s not as if you can call that a real job. I spent last Christmas on the Star Princess, and will back down here in South America to work on the Star again in January. The cruise itineraries are similar, [...]
