While it was a very nice day, it started with quite a bit of fog. The light was very nice, and the resulting picture looks like chinese painting, ... well, almost :-) </p><p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="images/DSC_4068.jpg/" height="451" width="300" border="1" hspace="4" vspace="4" alt="DSC_4068" title="DSC_4068" /> </p> <!-- technorati tags start --><p style="text-align:right;font-size:10px;">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/photography" rel="tag">photography</a></p><!-- technorati tags end --> Life http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/07/17/1153194959030.html#comments http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/07/17/1153194959030.html Tue, 18 Jul 2006 03:55:59 GMT http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/07/13/1152808792590.html <p> I stumbled on <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/richb?entry=book_statistics">Rich Burridge's weblog post</a> about book statistics, it has some scary numbers : </p><blockquote> Who is Reading Books (and who is not) <br />One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives. Many do not even graduate from high school. <br /> <br />58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school. <br />42% of college graduates never read another book. <br />80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year. <br />70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years. <br />57% of new books are not read to completion. </blockquote><p> 58% and 42% ?!?!? how is that possible ! </p> <!-- technorati tags start --><p style="text-align:right;font-size:10px;">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/books" rel="tag">books</a></p><!-- technorati tags end --> Life http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/07/13/1152808792590.html#comments http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/07/13/1152808792590.html Thu, 13 Jul 2006 16:39:52 GMT http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/05/16/1147801973762.html <p> The internet is a strange place ... or maybe it's the world... here is what happens when you google few words : </p> <pre> De Anza pow wow -> Geronimo stolen skull -> the skull and bone society </pre><p><a href="http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/05/16/1147801973762.html">Read more...</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/05/16/1147801973762.html">Read more...</a></p> Life http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/05/16/1147801973762.html#comments http://www.jcmartin.org/2006/05/16/1147801973762.html Tue, 16 May 2006 17:52:53 GMT
