I have some good memories of time spent in this place.  I'm not sure when it was built, I guess around 1950.  It was originally used as an incubation room on a poultry farm.  From about 1999 to 2005 it was used as a Ghillie shack, a place where we could sit down tie a couple of flies and contemplate our next couple of hours of fly fishing ahead of us.


Since 2005 I have slowly been turning this space into more of a workshop. Last major improvements done involved  upgrading the electricity and heat in the building.  Eventually I would like to build a house on this spot that cantilevers over a rock outcropping overlooking Smith Creek.

Anti-Invisibility

Lately I have been thinking quite a bit about what it means to be noticed by other people.  For about 6 months now I have been riding my bike into work.  It's great exercise and gives me time to think about stuff.


During my commute, as a safety precaution, I try move with traffic whilst drawing as much attention to myself as I can.   I'm not typically one to crave attention but when I am riding my bike I have to have it.  I have convinced myself other's attention is essential to my survival.  The specifics of this technique vary, but, often it's nothing more than exuding a sustained elevated level of brashness and confidence.  Riding a bicycle in urban areas with heavy traffic congestion is  honestly very satisfying.  It's the satisfaction of knowing I am totally free to move as I please that gives me that confidence.

Why do we act differently under observation? Dr. Quantum explains; or not.

In essence I would have to say Anti-Invisibility is all about overpowering any observer's attempt to collapse your wave function by means of raw physicality and rapid successive decision making.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog. This is an experiment to see if it is helpful for people get updates to projects that I'm working on and as a documentation tool for things that I'm doing.
