baaaaa!

I'm blaming jaelle_n_gilla for alerting me to the nerd quiz:








Being an über nerd, my first thought was, "Isn't über spelled with a 'ü'?"

Photos

I have photos of the tall ships at the Port Washington (Wisconsin) maritime/pirate festival last weekend up on Flickr for those who like sailing ships.

Also, if you're the type who likes power plants, I also have photos of the Port Washington Power Plant, which is right on the lake shore there. This plant was originally built in 1935 as one of the first pulverized-coal plants and held the thermal efficiency record until 1948, and was designated an ASME Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. It was recently rebuilt as a pair of half-gigawatt natural gas-fired combined cycle units. Some of the old, and very pretty, brick walls have been preserved. I do have some photos on film of the old plant configuration that I might hunt down and scan someday.
