Nevada Sage

Weather permitting, I put on a backpack and take a hike every weekend.

Today I went to the head of the trail I typically hike and ran across something which seemed 400 years out of date.

The images say it all. This is not a gag. Needless to say, I am looking for another ‘favorite’ hiking spot….

Earlier today I was doing some surfing and happened upon a link to The Mechanical Universe. The Mechanical Universe is a series of ~30 minute segments which comprise an overview of the 52 sessions of what was, at the time, the Freshman Physics curriculum at Cal Tech.

The series features Dr. David Goodstein, and the material is presented with explanations of abstract subject matter that a layman with entry level Differential and Integral Calculus can understand.

The best feature of the site at the link above is that you can click on the VoD icons and view streaming videos of each of the sessions. Very nice, and quite generous considering the 25 year old series still costs $450USD if you purchase it on DVD.

An outstanding series.

I have changed domains.

GWild.org and GWild.net no longer contain content.

The new domain name is NevadaSage and can be reached by any of the 3 major top level domains of .com, .net, or .org. The .com and .net URI’s will redirect and NevadaSage.org will be the single domain containing content.

All of the old email addresses for the gwild domains will remain active, address book entries will not need to be modified.

I created a new page on the site which lists and describes each of the images which may appear in the blog header.

The original post was quite long so I created a separate page for the images/descriptions.

I liked the addition of an image to my blog header so much I decided to to add an image rotator to it.

Now instead of the single Rodeo Creek image there are multiple images which can possibly be rendered as the header background with each page request.

I modified a theme I made for a friend, and I have been able to closely replicate my old theme.

I still have some css mods to do, but the results are good so far. I have a page layout I want, and I get the images in the header.

I’ll be working on more images as time allows. I have many pix, and I hope to add many more to the list.
