about 175 miles of the 300 miles i drove one day. notice how boring it is. now imagine it 30x slower. that’s how boring it really is. i added a passion pit song. it’s fitting because i played them a lot while driving. yes, those are bug guts on the windshield.

i hate kansas. originally i was thinking, hey, kansas would be an interesting place to visit. it’s something different. and yea, that was true for the first couple of days. it was initially interesting seeing nothingness. but nothingness gets old pretty damn fast. “hey, it’s a big field of wheat.” whatever “hey, i can actually see the horizon.” whatever. “hey, i only drive in angles multiple of 90 degrees.” whatever. can it get any more boring than driving flat and straight miles on end? the end being falling of this flat earth. and i think the only thing people do here is go to walmart and ride jet skis. please correct me if i’m wrong.

fine, i don’t blame you kansas. i’m sure you’re just rubbing me the wrong way.

so as i’ve previously posted…i want get more into visualizations.  i am completely new at it.  so i thought throwing together an infographic would be a good start.  i recently came back from an india trip where i collected a bunch of “info”.  i decided to give a stab at creating one:

i’m not too impressed with it, but i sure learned a lot already.

finally. going through all my india pictures took a heck of a lot longer than i expected.  even though i took a lot less pictures than i expected.  it’s tough to constantly try to take decent pictures for three weeks straight.  too much effort.  it’s also interesting taking pictures for a long period of time without actually looking at them on a monitor.  something could have been screwed up and you wouldn’t have known, screwing up all the rest of your pictures.  usually you get to see what you’ve done and then adapt.  anyways i tried to narrow it down as much as possible. i hate swamping people with a ton of pictures.  i think i ended up selecting 10% of my pictures which isn’t too bad. by the way, sometimes i hate flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/clunkity/collections/72157616737206816/

…and reality. feels so good to take a hot shower. i feel clean for once. but wish i had more time to travel. much more time.

!

booked my ticket to india!  i’m excited.
