Stepping out onto the deck, I can look nearly directly down into a pool where people are swimming with dolphins. Not long ago, I was snorkeling along through the resort's lagoon, sidling on up to pat a sea turtle's shell as it nosed through the spray of a waterfall. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/08\/15\/aloha\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2006<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/08\/15\/queueing-up\/\">Queueing Up&#8230;<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">On the verge of just canceling the Netflix account, we decided we'd take a little time to brainstorm a bit and put together a queue that we'd be more likely to enjoy going through. I completely nuked the queue I had built up, we found three basic ideas to start from, and got a new queue set up. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/08\/15\/queueing-up\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2005<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/08\/15\/preparations\/\">Preparations<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Much of the weekend was spent running around, getting boxes, making plans, and generally starting to get things ready for the move. We've got a Hanscom family get together this coming weekend, and I managed to get a week off of work for the move and a bit of vacation, so our current game plan goes something like this: <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/08\/15\/preparations\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2004<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/08\/15\/self-portrait-in-concave-mirror\/\">Self-Portrait in Concave Mirror<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Taken in a 'funhouse' mirror at OMSI this weekend.
