Christmas was great! My parents came over from Iowa on the train, and stayed with us for a few days. My wife’s brother also came down from the Salt Lake area.

Momo at the House of Time
My parents are in town and I’ve fallen a bit behind on my blogging schedule, so to keep up the daily blogging thing I thought I’d share this image from one of my favorite books, Momo by Michael Ende. Be sure to check out the artist’s page on Deviantart too.

I have absolutely no idea, but it’s fun… Continue reading A history of memes, visualized
