Union Water Tower/Sphere
The Water Tower of Union, NJ is hailed as the world’s tallest water sphere. Here are a few photos of the tower from the fields by Kawameeh Middle School: Also see this aptly named site: The World’s Tallest Water Sphere. Update: I have received accolades from the Water Sphere guy, thanks to our shared passion [...]
Last Weekend’s NJ/NYC Trip
Saturday morning, I went up with Amy to NYAA, from where she had just graduated the day before. Though I missed the ceremony, I was glad to be able to see her final diploma project on display in the graduate exhibit. We also went over to the West Side and walked along the harbor, from [...]

(mo_496_.jpg, uploaded by brownpau.) Union Station seems to be locked down right now due to a ‘suspicious package.’ I just got yelled at by Capitol Police for getting this close.

LOST 2.22: Your Hanso is Waiting
This entry is to fulfill my LOST entry quota for last week’s episode before the finale comes on tonight. Spoilers follow, of course.

Presiding was [...]

Pandora is Shoes

LOST 2.21: ?!
My notes on LOST are delayed a week because of the rigors of jury duty. I’ll have more to say on the most recent episode a little after the DC justice system has spit me back out of its crowded maw. First, read DCeiver’s Pompatus of Lost 2.21. Lots more spoilers follow after Mad Eko. [...]
