Friends

Despite the fact that most of the people I know are scientists, engineers, or computer programmers (yes I know, it's scary), most of them don't seem to have web pages. C'mon guys, get with it! :) In the meantime, here's some links to my more courageous friends who don't mind putting details of their personal lives up on the web for thousands of strangers to see...

  • Robert Schafer
    My husband, best friend, and climbing partner, all in one good-looking package! :) Robert's got some cool pictures of his various adventures on his site (including some from his home country of Australia). (Note: Robert's site is down until he can find the time to put it up on a new server, since he lost his space on CU's site after leaving academia for industry.) If you're interested in atmospheric science, you can go read his PhD thesis.
  • Catherine Boone
    (Note: Catherine hasn't updated in a loooooooong time...) Catherine shares my obsessions with strange TV shows, and my enjoyment of reading sf books; she helped keep me sane during my senior year at Caltech; she's graciously allowed me to drag her along on several strenuous hiking trips to remote places, and didn't kill me in my sleep when said trips caused her all sorts of physical pain; in short, she's a terrific person and an awesome friend! She's a really good writer, too; go check out her site for some very well-written Highlander and FK fanfic.
  • Ken Walsh and Christine Chen
    Ken's really good at photography (and has far better camera equipment than I ever will), a great person to have along on a backpacking trip, and is one of the few friends I have that shares my enthusiasm for scuba diving. His wife Christine is equally awesome - when she and Ken aren't going on cool photo excursions, she's an astronomer who does some really nifty research (and gets to visit cool places like Hawaii and South America for her job!).
  • Phil Morgan
    Phil's one of my co-workers at Ball Aerospace. He's been putting together a really nice site with lots of trip reports from hikes and rock climbs that he's been on. He's got plenty of great pictures on there, too!
  • Gary Hann
    Gary's another co-worker of mine at Ball Aerospace. He's done a lot of rock climbing, and if you want to see some cool climbing photos, go look at his site.
  • Jason Hollinger
    Jason is, quite simply, a hiking, biking and climbing stud. Plus, he's got the guts to live a life that many only dare to dream of - every so often, he takes off for months at a time and has really cool adventures. He's biked across the U.S., walked the Pacific Crest Trail, explored the southwest's canyon country, visited many interesting spots in foreign countries - and best of all, now he's got an awesome web page with lots of pictures and trip reports from his wanderings!
  • Matt Hilliard
    My brother Matt has a site up with ratings and reviews of books he's read and movies he's watched. Since his taste, like mine, runs to science fiction, I find it a useful reference!
