House on the rock

House on the rock in Wisconsin is a very strange collection of collections.
Need to go. It looks almost identical to a house that was in a recurring dream I had as a kid. It was the house I wanted to live in, with a room full of pianos of all shapes and sizes lining the walls, ceiling and floor, another room that was just an interconnected series of waterfalls and water-slides that defied gravity. I think this is it’s nearest IRL replica.
It’s also supposedly featured in one of Neil Gaiman’s books? Another big reason it’s at the top of my travel to do list.

Distributaries
Distributaries is a collection of river systems from around the world. I’m trying to focus on actual distributaries, but a few other types might sneak in occasionally. If anyone out there has a suggestion (for the site or for an actual river to add), I’d love to hear it via Twitter or on GitHub.

Short-ish list of San Francisco recommendations
View of the coast near SF from near the Nike Missile Site SF-88 in the Marin Headlands, looking south towards Point Bonita Lighthouse
I say short-ish since this is short relative to the number of fantastic places to visit / eat / imbibe / shop in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Compiled primarily for my lovely cousin in anticipation of her trip out west, also so that I don’t forget some places that I really like. I’ll keep adding to the list as places occur to me.
