Here are the tracks of the CARTOGRAPHER "Remix" 2nd disc. (You cannot save these songs, it's just for your listening pleasure.) Enjoy!

Finally!

"Finally what, Nate? What could you possibly be referring to?" you may be asking yourselves. Well, allow me to introduce you all to what could safely be considered the most anticipated music for our group over the last 3 or 4 years! (I know a couple of us will be excited anyway.) Gents, without further adue, here it is: CARTOGRAPHER .

Raiders of the lost Tunnels

A long time ago my Mom was telling me stories of tunnels under Ogden City. Years later, and after much investigation, I have found them! No longer is this just a neat idea, but an adventure waiting to be had!

I interviewed a retired Ogden City detective, an VERY old friend of my Mom's who has actually been down in the tunnels decades ago, and many others to try to find a lead into these mysterious passageways under 25th Street. After calling the Mayor and digging through committee lists, I found someone who is not only passionate about the tunnels, but has done extensive research on them. He is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person on this subject, and is one of the few that business owners on 25th street will allow to explore whatever entryways he can find! I've spoken with this man, and he has agreed to meet with any and all of us who wish to explore this exciting part of Ogden's history.

I'm sure everyone else is thinking of the same word I am right now: Documentary. If not us, who? If not within the next month, when? Would this not be the perfect project to help Ben build some business, and pull us together as a group again? I know that "sun dance" has been buzzing in some of our minds for a while, wouldn't this be a great entry? Ked and I are going to go explore them with our guide anyway, I just want to see if this is something we can turn into another excellent Nerd Herd adventure... maybe even for a profit. Just something for everyone to consider.

Nerd Halloween Pumpkin Bash?

(Kind of a neat ring to it, don't you think?) Is anyone else iching to get together this month as a Herd again? Maybe a movie, some games, or whatever is decided upon. It's likely that we won't be able to have all of us in one place at the same time, but maybe we can get the few that can together one of these nights. Is Splashboy going to be dropping by sometime this month? If so, maybe we can plan around that. We might end up not being able to do anything, and that's okay. People are busy. But if we can, it would be great to spend time with you guys again as a group. Good luck in all you're doing! Make it worth it!

Grand Illusions

I had a dream last night where I ran into Superguy unexpectedly. "Wow, how are you!?" I asked excitedly. ...I don't remember his immediate response, but we discussed this blog and how important it was that I post something new. This is strange because I've been meaning to post what follows for about 5 days now. Anyway, I hope this will be as interesting to some of you as it is to me.

Of all the things in this world that interest me, I have to say that puzzles and illusions are among my favorites. There are some clever Brits that have put together a pretty nerdy website that I've been visiting off and on for a while now. They explain many mysteries through articles and links to valuable research, and have come up with some of their own through fascinating gadgets and toys (all of which can be purchased through their website). One such illusion I thought Bach would find particularly interesting is their explanation of "The Moon Illusion". While Superguy may want to add this unusual math technique to his bag math skills. I'm sure everyone will enjoy the seemingly endless variety of stuff this site has to offer.

I made a visit to the doctor yesterday to find out why my throat was still red, swollen and full of canker sores, and didn't clear up after all the antibiotics and stuff. (I'm going on day 17 now.) He took a look, recoiled in surprise and said "Ooh, ow ow ow!" He explained that my "canker sores" had actually become ulcers; one covering my entire Uvula (the dangly thing in the back of the throat", one next to it, and the other two off to the sides where my jaw meets my throat. And the cause of all this: Stress. That's why the anibiotics didn't work, nor will they work. The Doc gave me a piece of paper with a formula I could whip up at home that coats the sores and sooths the pain, but it's just going to have to run it's course. I've debated about whether or not to post a picture of my throat. Leave your votes in the form of comments. See you guys later, enjoy the website!
