Apologies for the delay. Here are the pictures (click link to go to flickr) from the weekend sojourn to Norway. Here are a few of them (more after the jump): 

Tough Guy Pics

A little busy to type up a full debrief, but here are the official photos from the Tough Guy (more after the jump)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Please have some turkey, cranberry and a triple serving of pecan, pumpkin and chocolate pies for me.

Check out NatGeo's annual Photography contest (Hat tip Reformed broker). Here are a few of my favorites for varying reasons (after the jump):

ESPN Magazine: The Body Issue

So Sports Illustrated has the swimsuit edition, which is of course cool, but its pretty much the same thing every year (except the body paint!). ESPN the magazine has The Body Issue. Basically, shows off the forms of some top athletes. Much more interesting to me to see what a supremely functional form looks like for various endeavors.

Check out a slideshow of some of these here

Weekend Update: Oktoberfest

I've been busy since getting back on Sunday, so apologies for the delayed post. Short version: Munich is pretty, Oktoberfest is huge and a cool experience, Bavarian beer will whup your ass if you're not careful and lederhosen is actually really comfy and apparently still socially acceptable throughout Bavaria.

Long version, and eventually pictures, after the jump (click the title of the post)

Portugal Pictures

A few pictures from our trip to the Algarve region of Portugal. Didn't take many pictures, but the beach was gorgeous. It had these very cool rock outcrops right on the beach (see #2). Also, I'm fairly certain it was my first time in the Mediterranean. Ditto for the bidet (#4).
