Run for your Lives! (Posted: 2011-10-23)

Yesterday, after 5 months of training, I ran the zombie-infested 5k obstacle course race called "Run for your Lives" in Darlington, MD. I finished alive & unzombified in 30 minutes and 23 seconds; good for 189th place out of a field of more than 7,000 runners.

This spring I was running about a 10 minute mile and couldn't even dream of having the stamina to run an uninterrupted 5k. So it feels awesome to have trained myself into shape for such a tough race and to finish in the top 5% just a few months later.

Back from Iceland! (Posted: 2011-10-05)

We're back from our latest journey into viking lands and I've put up a crapload of pictures and descriptions of all the crazy stuff we saw and did. Enjoy!

Out of hamsters. (Posted: 2011-07-31)

Just a few minutes ago, our last remaining hamster, Sun, passed away suddenly after having a seizure. She was almost two. Sun was energetic, fearless, and incredibly friendly. She woke up promptly at 7pm every day and always had an agenda. We'll miss her nighttime wheel squeaks and excited cheek-stuffings.

Magnus represents my September (Posted: 2011-07-08)

Above is a picture of me on my 18th birthday with Magnus ver Magnusson. Why am I posting it now? Because he's a former World's Strongest Man champion and he's from Iceland... and in two months, both of those things will be quite relevant for me! Maggie and I have just scheduled September trips to North Carolina to see the 2011 World's Strongest Man finals, and 8 days in Iceland!

Libby (Posted: 2011-04-22)

Yesterday we lost our little friend, Libby. She was a very round and adorable hamster and Linus in particular will miss her very much! You'll be happy to know that Libby's sister, Sun, is still going strong and is as energetic as when she was a few months old.

We spent 32 hours in the car this week, but we were rewarded with a fabulous time at HARRY POTTER THEME PARK. Click above to see many photos.

Wedding Photos (Posted: 2010-04-23)

We finally got out of Scotland after 6 days of strandedness, and I've just gotten around to posting a bunch of pictures from the wedding. Enjoy!

Our honeymoon will not end. (Posted: 2010-04-21)

The Icelandic volcano has caused an unexpected extension to our honeymoon, as we're currently still in Scotland on our 5th day of being stranded and unable to come home and see our cats. Needless to say, we've had ample free time to post photos. Click the picture above to see them!

We just got married? (Posted: 2010-04-03)

Yep, Maggie and I just got married a few hours ago. Let there be various matrimonies! We'll be leaving soon for our honeymoon in England and Scotland and will post all kinds of pictures from all kinds of stuff when we get back. HOORAY!

A very cool feeling. (Posted: 2009-12-09)

Today I discovered that one of my favorite songwriters, John Darnielle (of The Mountain Goats), is a fan of my work in my metal project Helcaraxë. I dropped him an email about his post and had a nice conversation in which I got an unbeatable feeling from having one of my most respected songwriters compliment my own compositions. As a result, I'm having an awesome day.

And to return the favor in some small way, I encourage everyone to listen to John's music because it's outstanding. My favorite Mountain Goats album is Tallahassee, but lately I've been listening a lot to TLOTWTC and his recent split with John Vanderslice.
