At the end of July, my family and I are moving to Seattle. Just looking at stats about where we will be, and how walkable it is, I’m very much looking forward to the change.
Where we are now has a Walk Score of 15 out of 100 (almost all errands require a car), but our new home in Seattle has a Walk Score of 82 — significant improvement!
I was digitizing some old VHS tapes, and came across this. I’m guessing I’m about three years old, and I’m bringing a bowl of water to my grandparents’ dog, Silva. Shot on 8mm film by my Grandpa (Lawrence C. Swenson).

A lot has changed since then, but please enjoy this PDF version of the talk and slides as something small to tide you over while I work up some more modern musings on the subject.
I’m not sure exactly how I came into having these poster images, but reading on DigiBarn, it looks like they may have been designed by Marcin Wichary (perhaps this gentleman?) to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Macintosh.
You can download the entire set of 14 posters as PDFs, suitable for printing up poster-sized.
If you’re seeing this, it means you’re seeing my new, migrated site. I realized that I wasn’t really using any of the extra features that Squarespace was affording me, and while they have given me great service (and I love their stats package), it was time to minimize my outlay to my various service providers.
