Updates are going to be a little slower right now since I am hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. You can follow my travels here: on lunky.com!

Happy New Year!

Good news!
I'd like to welcome artist Cheryl Reed to the Human Calendar as 2013.

Bad news!
I'm having some issue with the iPhone app and I hope to have that resolved in a few days.

In my quest to make sure I never get around to finishing the the last 10% of the new Human Clock website, I made a few updates (rounded corners!) and the blank spots on the Human Calendar now do special things. The iPhone app is now 99 cents too.

During my biking around Australia stint I met this great couple Sam and Nadia in the town of Perth. I ended up staying there for around three weeks over Christmas 2002. Sam is from Fairbanks, Alaska, USA and Nadia is from Perth. They met as penpals and have been married for the last 21 years.

Sam and Nadia paid a visit to the USA recently. While visiting New York City, Nadia ended up on an NPR Game show. You can hear her tell the story around the 1m30s mark. They later came to Portland for a visit...and brought Tim Tams! Sam is the new "Mr. August" and Nadia is the new "Day #2" on the calendar.

Ron Funches is a funny guy. He has been on Conan O'Brien, Portlandia playing baseball, and most recently...in my photo booth for Human Calendar holding up #4. (Note: me pretending that the latter media entity example is as well known as the two former ones is known as "a giant stretch")


Here he is on Conan O'Brien:

...and here he is on Oregon Public Broadcasting's "Live Wire" radio show:

I would like to welcome Aaron Beam to the Human Calendar as the new #6. He sings and plays bass in the band Red Fang. If you have no idea who they are, just watch this video. Aaron's hair is much longer in the video since he had just received a significant haircut about an hour before I took the photos:

Since this website has more Facebook fans in Brazil than the USA now, hopefully Red Fang will make it there soon. In the meantime though, Aaron was interviewed by MTV Brazil. (the interview is at the 1:30m mark of the second segment). Very soon they will be on tour through Europe.

2012 is here! So is Neven Mrgan holding up "2012":
