So, Northstar. We left Thursday night at around 5:30 or so, from work, Nils & I. After getting lost for half an hour – thanks a lot, Hamilton Avenue, #%@! – we finally got to F2’s place, and from there departed… I think we were on our way by 6:30 or so. It took forever… Read more

The photos from the Northstar trip up are finally up, including full-size versions of the two panoramas. I finally got DoubleTake to play nice – looks like a CoreImage glitch on Tiger – as can be seen below.
