Tuatara

The New Zealand reptile (not a lizard). Tuatara are the only surviving members of their order, which peaked during the time of the dinosaurs.

A buddy of mine in New Zealand has been studying tuatara for the last couple of years, and found a successful South Island nest. It's the first time tuatara have successfully nested on the South Island in hundreds of years.

But you don't have to take my word for it - http://www.otago.ac.nz/news/news/otago089975.html

Bad Breath Battle: Coffee Vs Garlic

A cartoon of my wife and I.
I love coffee. She loves garlic. Much bad breath ensues. Hers is worse.
Based on true events.

Mordin Solus

I recently played through all three Mass Effect games, and on a replay I think that Mordin has become my favorite character in the series. Even more so than Garrus (which is really saying something). The resolution of the Mordin's storyline really illustrates all that is great about the Mass Effect series.

I was thinking it would be fun to do a series of a few of my favorite Mass Effect characters, and to start it out with the best of the bunch - that way if I lose interest (or I bow to spousal mockery), I will at least have Mordin done.

Spawning Sockeye Salmon

Made from basswood, birch, acrylic paints, and lots of glue.

Salamander

Another fantasy monster. I never really understood what this critter is about, but I like salamanders, and I like fire.
