Five reasons monkeys are “evil”? A biologist’s perspective.
You know that scene in Jurassic Park 1? When the Velociraptors outsmart the game-warden, Muldoon, and he whispers “clever girl…” right before he is attacked? I feel like monkeys do that kind of thing all the time. They may not

The zen of motorcycle maintenance… at gas stations?
Driving down a twisty dirt road at night; the trees pass by in the darkness and tower overhead. Suddenly every biker’s worst nightmare, the lights switch off. “AHH”, I yell. Imagining the road ahead, I was on a relatively straight

4 meter dive (Dbl-twisting-front)
This was a fun one my friend took here. Climbing up onto a skinny railing and having a flip-off with a couple friends is the best way to spend a warm cloudy day. And for you divers out there, yes

I have a bucket of baby sloths.
I got to play with a bucket full of baby orphaned sloths a couple days go. A cuteness mixture or two-toed and three-toed sloths that were being card for by some wildlife rehab friends. I wish I had better pictures,

Driving through the night to find surf at dawn.
It’s 1:08 am. It’s Friday. I didn’t go out tonight, I spent the night packing up for my trip to Panama in two days. I can’t sleep. I want to be outside. I want to be on an adventure, but

How to have an eco-friendly yet manly garage
Today I pulled into our outdoor, covered garage and realized that right now we have something special going on. Our garage is exactly how a man’s garage should look (or a women’s… and I would love to take her out to dinner…). We have 4 motorcycles, 1 moped,and 3 really cool car projects. I can’t take that much credit as it is an amalgamation of my roommate’s and my stuff. Now your asking, “how the hell is this green you cylinder head, petrol hypocrite of a conservationist?”
Our garage is green, earth friendly, and dare I say more sustainable, and here is why. Take a look at the above picture.
1. Drive Motorcycles. All the time.
First,My two roommates and I dont even OWN cars.

Pictures from a 10 meter high dive
A couple weeks ago I was in Northern Florida and went to a crystal springs park. Florida has many streams and rivers that start from beautiful, crystal clear fresh water springs. I was actually with my parents visiting my sister.

Finding sea turtles by lightning
As a biologist, last night I found myself asking a very odd question. I was standing in the dark listening to sand being tossed around out in the darkness. I could see some tall beach grass being disturbed every time

Of Apes and Fire: a photo story of searching for wild orangutans
One of my dreams has always been to see Orangutans in the wild. So the last time I was in Malaysian Borneo, I spent 4 days on the Kinabatangan river. Several sections of the river are quite touristy, but I was

Market Day in Borneo: color, food, heat, and noise
Recently on a trip to Malaysia, I spent a month wandering through some of the backwater towns of Borneo. I happened to visit several towns on market day. Usually once a week, the local market area swells to many times

Busted by Police Skating in Puerto Rico

This is from my recent trip to PR. We found a great road up in the mountains near the west coast. It was a nice hilly session, incredibly smooth pavement and great views. I was hitching rides on the side of the rental car on a few of the hills having a great time, however after a while…… POLICIA! *sigh* it’s like they just hang out waiting for anything involving a skateboard. Well, we got off with a warning but I did get called a “gringo loco”

$2 Critter Cam for your Dog (making dog GoPro harness)
I recently decided to attach a GoPro camera to my dog. With a bit of MacGyver and some clothes hangers, I made one for less than 2 dollars. The key component is to have a dog that doesn’t care if
