January 15, 2005 -- I took these pictures of the Ventura County coastline (Ventura, Solimar, Faria, Seacliff, Mussel Shoals, La Conchita, and Rincon) this week when I took the Venoco boat to Carpinteria - the HWY 101 was closed for the rescue workers to search for people trapped within the wreckage of the La Conchita landslide. I've been riding my bike past La Conchita for the last couple years and commonly reflect on the geological risks of living at the base of such a dynamic hillside. Though I belive people should be able to live where they desire, I think that there should be ample information available to the potential residents and in this case I seriously doubt that any profesional gelogist/engineer, over the past 10 years, suggested that living in La Conchita was without risk.

November 14, 2004 -- My Broken Camera The other weekend Ali came back from the Santa Barbara Zoo with a few pictures and a broken camera, so we've ordered a new one. Above is the link to the last batch of photos taken with the now broken camera.

October 10, 2004 -- Life Goes On -- Though I haven't been using my own camera lately, my friends and family have been taking lots of pictures. Ashley, Aurora, Orion Leisinger on the beach in southern Orange County, and my friends Don and Sharon with their new twins, pictures from Chip's Surfclass Photo archive and soon hopefully, Abigail and Mike Ackerman's pictures.

September 11, 2004 -- A Hot Week in Ventura -- Highlights: Record heat in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, Jack cools off in with a new haircut, a popsicle, and a nice cool pool.

August 15, 2004 -- Photos from SIGGRAPH 2004 - Los Angeles -- Highlights: The $80K 5 pipe visualization system from Visionmax, The BP Center for Visualization whose 3D well planning software we viewed, The emerging technologies exhibits. We found the hardware vendor demos a little disappointing, with the exception of the graphics card vendors, its the same old stuff with flashy new cases, if there was an Itanium demo we missed it, and SGI had none of their newer workstations but instead were showing the same old DEM-drapped topographic horizons floating in an openGL viewer.

August 11, 2004 -- Surfing in Dakar -- Edward interviews a local Senegalese surfer before he catches a wave. Is this the site that was in Endless Summer?

June 14, 2004 -- These pictures I took over the last couple days. I am experimenting with some new software for creating online image galleries quickly and easily - an effort that will let me update this site more frequently. Just click on the images to enlarge them, and then if you are so inclined leave a comment. The really cool thing about this is that, anyone I grant access to, may upload their own images.

June 4, 2004 -- These pictures we took this week while contemplating the passing of Grandma Leisinger - in memory, Alison, Jack, Jazz, and John spent some quality family time sprucing up the back yard with new vegetation and ground cover, while continually trying to teach the little guy the meaning of NO!

Also, that movie I put up the other week, that nobody seems to be able to view (I'm not sure how people live without Apple Quicktime), has been converted to Flash -- check it out.

May 1, 2004 -- Some pictures and a short movie from the last couple weeks. We had a few visitors (Joel Parriott and Mimi) and Jack got a pool for the front yard!

March 12, 2004 -- These are pictures from our mini-vacation to Santa Cruz and Big Sur. While Ali went to her conference on Thursday and Friday Jack and I explored the famous Santa Cruz surf spots: Steamer Lane and Natural Bridges, and Monterey's Cannery Row. Then, after Ali's conference ended on Friday we headed south to Big Sur and spent the next couple days hiking around the local trails, checking out the beach and eating at Nepenthe. Our Trip.

March 28, 2004 -- Wow, its been more than a month since I've updated this page, so here are some pictures that we've taken the last couple days. Jack and the gang on the beach.

February 22, 2004 -- Here are some pictures from President's Day weekend - basically beach photos. Here is a flash movie I made of Jack during a rare pensive moment.

February 10, 2004 -- I've been back to work for a week or so now and haven't had too much time to dedicate to updating my site, yet I have been taking a bunch of photos. These pictures are of Jack, Jazz, Ali and me at the house and at the Ventura Keys beaches. I guess that the highlights are Jack's incredible size and energy, his new bottom teeth, and his new-found mobility.

January 26, 2004 -- Went to Best Buy the other night and bought a new CF card reader and so here are some pictures of Mountain Biking at Sulphur Mtn. Rd. and Big Sycomore Canyon in the Sanata Monica Mountains, and a couple of Ali and Jack. pictures.

January 4, 2004 -- A few days after Christmas, we left for Cape Cod to celebrate a late holiday season on Jack's trip on a plane. We had a great time in Chatham and Boston - the weather was excellent so we spent most of the days on the becahes and at night we went to a bunch of parties and usually ended up at the the local tavern.

December 26, 2003 -- As for everyone, Christmas week as been very hectic for us, but that aside, we've had an excellent time witnessing the birth of Maxwell Vogel, meeting Santa at a christmas party, and having the Leisinger gang over for Christmas. Images of these events here.

December 19, 2003 -- All these pictures were taken with the camera that I borrowed from Tamra which is a 5 megapixel Cannon PowerShot G5 which makes far superior photos than my camera, a 2.1 megapixel Cannon PowerShot S110. My recent interest in digital media has lead me to the daunting task or organizing my ~5000 photos and ~9000 mp3's. I'm trying to add metadata to my photos including when, where and what descriptions for each photo. I'm using Apple's iTunes for the music and wrote my own Java / XML photo-journaling system to store the descriptive semantics above.

December 11, 2003 -- Jack as a young Iowa Hawkeye and hearing about Santa for the first time pictures

December 10, 2003 -- So, I've been doing this online documentation for over 2 years now and I feel that a site-redesign is due and I plan on starting work on the redesign after Jan 1. The other day I started doing an inventory and realized that the easiest way of navigating the numericsolutions domain is using a custom google search that I've put at the top and bottom of this page. My bro Edward, a couple months ago, suggested I implement a web comments/dialogue service which I did, I call it Trumpeter, and I think its ready for some testing before I announce it to some of the geeky-groups that might use it - so if you have a web site that you'd like to add comments to give it a try. Lastly, while trying to get the google service working I noticed that my University of Michigan geology department web site is still up and is highly ranked by google. After regaining my password from IT services at Michigan, I've decided that I'm gonna leave it for posterity as I wrote it in 1995.

December 5, 2003 -- Here are the pictures that I took over the Thanksgiving holiday, they include quite a few from Schoolhouse, the beach down the street, and the guests we had for Thanksgiving dinner. pictures
