One Response to Treehouse in the Woods, Whale Bones on the Beach, Taking Off For SolFest

  1. Howdy, Mr. Kahn,
    I found you via that mini-documentary. It was great. I grew up rereading my mother's copy of The Whole Earth Epilogue. I had no idea what it was all about; continually blew my mind.

    Are you familiar with Rudy Rucker? (http://rudyrucker.com/blog/) He's a kindred spirit of yours if ever there was one. He lives up in Los Gatos, and is near your age with the same lust for life. He's a mathematics professor turned science fiction author who does a lot of work with Cellular Automata and other "gnarly computations". He's also started painting and blogging in the last few years. His blog is just as good as yours, with lots of pictures and stories.

    Thanks for the good reading,
    Andrew
