There are ridiculous amounts of dandelions all over town–I love it. Here’s a pretty field we passed on a drive yesterday (it was about to storm)…

And here are my muddy feet from our hike today, with dandelions. We heard lots of thunder, so we ended up turning around when we were almost to the hard part (ie. huge elevation gain, and fast). But, we got a good 3 or so miles in anyway. By the way, it’s not a great idea to walk through mud in sandals, although I can’t say I didn’t enjoy myself. So much for my clean new Keens, not to mention my dirty toes.

And in Blatant Self Promotion news, I have an article in the newest issue of Make magazine. Woo-hoo, a real article! It’s about Montanan artist Gary Bates, and let me tell you it was hard to condense all of the information into 300 words.

You can’t read the text from my screenshot, but if you do a google search for him and the title (Earth Wind Inspire– HAH!) you can get to that page of the online edition. Or, of course, just check it out at the bookstore. They feature lots of neat techy projects.

Happy weekend!
