ex machina


not learning to fly.

normally i probably wouldn't feel compelled to document such avian carnage, but only just recently john posted an image of his rendezvous with bird death and it occurred to me that i couldn't remember the last time i saw a hairless, dead baby bird laying on the sidewalk. and then in a morbid flickr coicindence, just a few days later while walking mauja, i nearly tripped myself as i attempted to avoid not one, not two, but three birds. all lying in a straight line, evenly spaced about a stride's length apart.

no sign of a bird's nest nearby.

first, there's microwave-sized ice chunks falling from cloudless skies, then unexplained sonic booms. and now hairless birds are now myteriously appearing on sidwalks. what could it all mean?

"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
