Artwork
Dead Car Artwork	I host a site built by my brother, for my father. Canizaro Art © 1962-2013		For 30 years i wore a meaningful T-shirt daily. In 2002 i switched to plain shirts, but i wanted to do something interesting with my large collection that meant so much to me. quilt plans T-shirt quilts side by side With help from my friend Lori, i made a quilt! Actually two. I use them daily. One image is the plans, the other is the finished quilts.			Flying Sails is a wonderful piece of art. It helped me to a greater understanding of perfectionism.

We're tilted 23.5° and that tilt is the reason we have seasons. And it's the reason the pole star changes, because the axis precesses like a top, slowly rotating over 24,000 years. And that turning creates the The Great Year which is real, but some people foolishly use it to predict your fortune.			Missions to Mars	Periods with NO HUMANS in Space Portion of year with humans in space.

Statistics
	We're all related. The number of possible ancestors in each generation doubles each step back in time. Shockingly you only have to go back to the 1200s before your ancestors in that generation alone exceed the number of humans who've ever lived.		Statistics That Shape Our Life	Someone asked how many monkeys there are in the world. I decided to find out.	In May i heard another news story on NPR that repeated the silly urban legend that world population is going to naturally level off and stabilize at 9 billion by itself. Simple math suggests that is unlikely. The population would have to do this, which is hard to imagine, but the rate of growth would have to do this, which is impossible without a horrific catastrophe.
			Mark was an unpopular name until after WWII when an actor named his son Mark. It grew in popularity into the top 10. I was named at the height of it's popularity.
