Updates from Mike Short's website - bicycle trips, travel, science, art projects, and others! http://www.mike-short.com 10 May 2012 13:50:00 GMT Marina and I just moved, and we made time-lapse videos of setting up each floor. http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/TimeLapse/ 3 Sep 2011 13:50:00 GMT Lynn visited us all the way from Hawaii, so we went camping and hiking just before hurricane Irene hit New Hampshire and closed the national forest. We set up tents, hiked Mt. Willard, and gorged on mountain treats and revelry! http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2011_08_27_Camping/ 3 Jun 2011 13:50:00 GMT Pictures from MIT's 145th commencement exercises. http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2011_06_03_PhD_Graduation/ 2 Jun 2011 13:50:00 GMT Pictures from the doctoral hooding ceremony, where Ph.D. candidates receive their academic hoods the day before receiving their diplomas. http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2011_06_02_Doctoral_Hooding/ 26 Feb 2011 13:50:00 GMT I wrote an Instructable on how I made my wedding rings out of 14kt gold mokume gane. It includes details and pictures documenting how I did every step, so anyone else can try it too. Check it out! http://www.mike-short.com/Art/WeddingRings/Wedding-Ring-Instructable.pdf 22 Jan 2011 13:50:00 GMT These are pictures from my trip to Nepal. I brought a homemade infrared camera with me to compare shots taken in visible and infrared light. Vegetation turns white, the sky turns black, and many other things change, too. http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2009_10_Nepal/ 22 Jan 2011 13:45:00 GMT This is a movie of our flight from Kathmandu, Nepal into the Himalayas, landing in Lukla, Nepal. I've included 1x and 3x speed versions. See what it's like to fly from Kathmandu to the foothills of Everest at 800 mph! http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2009_10_Nepal/Flyover/index.php 16 Jan 2011 15:57:00 GMT There was a pigeon inside the CVS at Harvard Square. It was knocking all the medicine off the shelves! We unsucessfully tried to catch it using my jacket. http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2011_01_CVS_Pigeon/VideoShow.php?Video=0 15 Jan 2011 17:21:00 GMT I analyzed my 2005 MIT Brass Rat (class ring) in my lab's Scanning Elecron Microscope at 100x magnification. There really are a lot of hidden features in there! http://www.mike-short.com/Science/SEM/ Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:00:03 GMT I attended a conference hosted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology on beautiful Ishigaki island in Okinawa. Ishigaki beef is known throughout Japan for its quality, and we certainly had our fill! http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2010_12_Japan/ Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:00:02 GMT Marina and I took our honeymoon in Japan, 1.5 years after getting married! We visited Kyoto's historic temples, Matsushima and Sendai in the north, and all the insanity that is Tokyo! Highlights include the Meguro Parasite Museum, Electric Town (Akihabara), a sunset cruise through Tokyo bay, and more! http://www.mike-short.com/Pictures/Travel/2010_11_Japan/ Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:00:01 GMT Hi everyone! Since I tend to put my photos on my website rather than facebook, I'll be using RSS Graffiti to post new photos and interesting things here (thanks for the idea, Jose!). http://www.mike-short.com/
