Thank You Notes from Famous People - http://emilyqualey.tumblr.com/post...
After seven years of being noncommittal about living in Camden (and Maine, for that matter), I’m moving out of my family’s home and into an apartment on the other side of town. I am perfectly aware of how ridiculous this is, but I have never, ever operated on a typical/expected life schedule, so eh, cookie, crumble, etc. Anyhoo, for the past... - http://emilyqualey.tumblr.com/post...
After seven years of being noncommittal about living in Camden (and Maine, for that matter), I’m moving out of my family’s home and into an apartment on the other side of town. I am perfectly aware of how ridiculous this is, but I have never, ever operated on a typical/expected life schedule, so eh, cookie, crumble, etc.
 
Anyhoo, for the past couple of weeks, my mother and I have been working on (and “ensouling”) my new place. When the landlady said I could paint, she probably had no idea we’d not only go to town, but we’d actually do it right. We’ve scraped, puttied, bin’ed, caulked, sanded and painted. When I haven’t been despondent about our progress (OMG, this is NEVER going to end) it’s been enormously gratifying to see the place transform.
 
There have been less than pleasant discoveries (the battle against grease splatters, for one) but last night, to my utter amusement, I found a couple of street signs hidden in a cubby under an eave. That’s right. Not one, but two! From the same street! It’s unclear how long they’ve been there, but I’ve got some Pearl Street natives who are happy to take them off my hands.
March is going to be amazing. The Hunger Games hits theaters, Lucky Peach arrives and I’m plotting a trip to Montreal (by train!) with Devon for a weekend of indulgence at Joe Beef and Au Pied de Cochon.  - http://emilyqualey.tumblr.com/post...

The National Toboggan Championships are nearly upon us. I’m not competing this year, but I’ll definitely be day drinking, shack hopping and cheering on Team Schleddy Balls. - http://emilyqualey.tumblr.com/post...

Alec Brainerd of Artisan Boatworks is the guy to talk to if you’re in the market to restore or build a daysailer in the Northeast. Kinda fun to see this shot come up on my dashboard time and time again because I got to go for a sail with Alec that day, too.

Collage patterns captured from daily walks.  What if sensors, cameras and GPS collected daily movement and cumulatively displayed your walking patterns.  Would it be motivating to move around and walk more everyday?  I’m using a fitbit, mytracks and a catcam to hand collect and hand-build these collage works.  But also thinking about the software algorithm that could capture and display something very similar.

Well Jack I was glad to learn how you felt about your summer’s work & your coming school year. The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be... - http://emilyqualey.tumblr.com/post...
Well Jack I was glad to learn how you felt about your summer’s work & your coming school year. The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you & the more you learn the more you can appreciate & get a full measure of joy & happiness out of life. I do not think a young fellow should be too serious, he should be full of the Dickens some times to create a balance.

In addition to tracking the Volvo Ocean Race around the world, I’ve also been keeping an eye on Carina, a 48 foot aluminum hull sloop, as she and her crew make their way the opposite direction. 
  
Carina’s 2011 campaign was designed to integrate a circuit of the world’s premier ocean races with a circumnavigation of the globe, beginning with the 2,975 mile Transatlantic Race 2011 from Newport, RI to the Lizard in England.  In the following months we will be continuing on to Sydney, Australia to compete in the Sydney-Hobart Race, and finally back around to Newport, RI in time for the June 15th start of the Newport-Bermuda Race.
 
By the time we are back in the U.S. in May, we will have raced more than 5,000 miles, and delivered the boat more than 40,000 miles, including three Atlantic crossings, one Pacific crossing, and one Indian Ocean crossing.

Rockport, Maine - January 15, 2012 by Peter Ralston It was cold yesterday morning - I hear about minus four - so I took a little walk down to the harbor for a gander. Lots of sea smoke with a light but cutting northerly wind. I love this harbor of ours this time of year. Yesterday it was just me and a few sorry-looking gulls.

It was cold yesterday morning - I hear about minus four - so I took a little walk down to the harbor for a gander. Lots of sea smoke with a light but cutting northerly wind. I love this harbor of ours this time of year. Yesterday it was just me and a few sorry-looking gulls. The few boats still in appear resigned to their winter on the water. The island and the lighthouse look very, very far away right now.
