Welcome
We are Tom Keffer and Lee Christie. This website is about our projects, travels, and thoughts.
What's New?
- 9/7/08. Added a description of cutting a new access plate for the starboard fuel tank on Velocity.
- 4/1/08. Added a narrative about a Phoenix Fund trip to India and Nepal, 2008.
- 3/27/08. Added a slide show about a visit to the Manokamana Handmade Paper Factory in Upper Lingten, India (near Darjeeling, India).
- 1/18/07. Added pictures (and some captions) from my trip to Mongolia in August, 2006.
- 10/15/07. Added weather info from our weather station.
- 10/10/07. Added info about our new boat, S/V Velocity. Also, added a navigation tree on the left margin (unfortunately, using it requires allowing Javascript).
- 4/9/07. Added a budding Project Page. Not much there now, but I hope to add to it.
- 4/9/07. Brought the site up to XHTML 1.0 transitional standards. Lot of fiddling around, but nothing too taxing.
- 3/26/07. Added a narrative on my trip to Palestine with Mercy Corps, in the Spring of 2006.
- 3/24/07. Finally, after a year and a half of procrastination, I've added the logs for Cats Paw's trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands.
- 3/24/07. Total revamp of the website. Changed from Microsoft FrontPage to Expression Web. I liked the simplicity of FrontPage but, man, was it full of bugs! You learn where they are after a while and just don't go there, so I guess I learned to like it. Expression Web is way more powerful, but it doesn't hold your hand as much. It's kind of like the difference between buying a prefab home and building one from scratch, albeit with very powerful tools. One nice thing is that Expression Web seems to be very robust with only a handful of innocuous bugs. I think I'll learn to like it.
