Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

“I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,  Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs.”  ~John Keats I don’t know what kind of flower this is.  I have never been good with that kind of thing, but I do know that is pretty.  I found this one while walking through Red Butte Gardens in…

For the Alta views of course! Today was a bluebird day at Alta and I grabbed some nice photos.  I always ski with my little P&S camera in my pocket just in case, and today was a great day to have it. First up, a three frame composite panorama.  I whipped this together really quickly,…

At some point I think that it is an inevitability (unless you are my parents) that there is a game of dish jenga going on in everyone’s kitchen. Sometimes it is probably two games, the one with the dirty dishes in the sink and the one with the clean dishes on the drying rack. I…

In general, many of us live pretty public lives nowadays.  Even if you don’t do Twitter or don’t have a blog you probably have a Facebook or a MySpace page or belong to some other online community.  The strange thing is that even if you don’t really do anything online there is still a bunch…

In general I tend to find ways to keep busy. Between work, cooking, eating, skiing in the winter, hiking and camping in the summer it doesn’t really leave that much time.

If you are wondering what Zordak is, you are asking the wrong question.  You should be asking who Zordak is.  Zordak is the king of the universe, also known as Zordak KOTU.  Zordak is a character from a bunch of “stories” that my brother wrote while he was in elementary school.  I don’t remember any…

I would have published this yesterday, but I was too darn tired to finish it and all that jazz. So, yesterday I made my way up to Deer Valley to ski with my uncle. When I got up to park city I had driven into possibly the biggest snow storm we have had this season.…

I am going to try to start up a couple theme days here in my ramblings.  Being a photographer it seemed only  natural to have a photo day.  So, provided that I can be consistent about picking photos and finding something to say about them this should become a regular Friday feature. So, I’m going…

While I don’t always pay attention to the news, it is hard to not hear about the relief efforts that have been going on in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.  The big interesting news is that the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) sent a huge convoy to Haiti to help.  The interesting thing about…
