(Author) Jared Diamond – Collapse

Jared Diamond Back in January (2005), I went to a talk at the Smithsonian by Jared Diamond,
where he discussed topics from his book, Collapse. Finally got around to putting up the audio files of the recordings I made of the talk: Jared Diamond talk. Don’t be too critical; it was a packed auditorium, and I was using my Clie to record.

Shooting Range

Went to the range today. Haven’t been in awhile, so it was good to know I can still hit the broad side of a barn. Still hitting right and low – need to work on a better squeeze; I sometime anticipate the shot.

(Author) Matt Bondurant

   
This Saturday I went to see author Matt Bondurant reading “The Third Translation” at Politics and Prose bookstore, Washington, D.C.
This was my first time at this bookstore; nice store with a good cafe in the lower level.

I recorded parts of the reading. Have a listen!
