Different versions of the Killer song. I heard the ATB one first, then George Michaels, so I discovered them out of order.

Stone+Alloy
This is the website we've been working on for the past few months, Stone+Alloy. It's been fun to work on, the site is designed with a material design philosophy, the graphics are beautiful and the products are well-rendered. I worked with a team of offshore developers that were pretty competent in Java and JavaScript, making the design come alive. It also has a soft photographic feel, with a more uptown feel than most of the sites I've had a chance to work on.

Namekagon River, WI
On July 31, 2015, we scouted out the Namekagon River as a site for kayaking, but unfortunately did not get to this summer. Here are some of the shots we took.

Part of the problem that politicians have is that you can tell what their real underlying quest for power is because of a vendetta they are carrying. No matter what they promise the electorate to get elected, there is often, a score they wish to settle and their true quest for the job. Scott Walker was looking to get back at the University system for some failing they did not provide to him. George Junior was looking to settle the score for his father in Iraq. Hillary has something to prove because of her husband's infidelity. These people don't really have a long-term vision for the country, these are people that don't care about their fellow citizenry, they just want power for themselves to complete their quest for revenge."
At the end he says, "I don't have any scores to settle." This exemplifies what we need from a candidate representing a democratic electorate. Vengeful candidates will only lead a system back to oligarchy.

Apple River: Black Brook Dam to Hwy 65
Let in at Black Brook Dam
River hazard: down trees
Trees blocked primary channel, fortunately a large set of tubers were going to the left and made some calls to go left. I'm glad, because the primary channel was unpassable.
Let in: Little Falls
Pike Hole Rapids
Some people ahead said not too worry, not anything to worry about, but I saw 3 huge dips, walls of water, and though I made the first two, flipped on the third and was dragging for a while. Some scars on my right thigh, lost sunglasses, but could have been worse. Next time might try portaging on the left, where I saw the tubers climbing in. It was kind of sudden and not like the rest of the river up until that point nor after.
- This article says: "You can exit the river before the Pike Hole rapids on the left side of the river after passing a rock cliff about 20 feet high."
- Old article about the falls
- bridge view
- cliff view
- American whitewater article rates it a Class II+ But I feel that part was a III.

River hazard - trees blocking
I made a cursory scan and it seemed like the tree angle at the far right was passable. I made it but lost my Sony camera in the brush, it fell off, but as I made it under the tree, I could not relocate it. Can't tell if it floated or fell - never tested its bouyancy before this incident. Sad because it might have had some good shots of the rapids.
Interesting flow
At one point you can go full left or right, the current actually led me first to the northern channel, but I was able to steer back to the primary channel.
Let out at 150th St.
