In the beginning there was ocean, made in the union of earth and sky. There in a deep cavern gestated two children. The siblings wondered what was around them, and when strong they swam to the surface of their womb. Upon nearing father sky, one sibling nudged the other. The firstborn raised their head above water and opened eyes to see. The younger opened eyes under water and was born blind. Looking up and seeing stars, the elder then looked down and saw ants. The ants made the land and mountains with their bodies. The seeing tried to explain to the blind that the ants were building mountains, but the blind did not understand. The seeing guided the blind on earth, but life on land was difficult for the blind, who only understood life before blindness. From the top of the tallest mountain, the seeing saw every place, and from this elevated terrain came the realization that earth, water, and air combined support life. Through this insight, all creatures for all places were realized. The elder seeing the mountains, valleys, and sky found creatures for them all, while the blind could only think of aquatic life. The seeing noticed no creatures could see well by starlight and asked the blind to make an illuminance for all to see better. The dim light made by the blind was not bright and is today called the moon, while the seeing made the sun. The siblings disagreed over which creatures were better for living where and stole from one another. Inevitably the blind returned to the ocean. Leaving, the blind stumbled, causing great earthquakes and large waves. Occasionally the blind remembered disagreements and troubles from life on land, sending storms to wash the land away, its ants and creatures, making people cold and sick, but the blind could not see where people lived or where animals moved between seasons. Through death and sacrifice, all things were bequeathed to us. Learn more.

Before time and gravity, all was plasma. The plasma spread, cooled, and released photons enough for remaining particles to bond into hydrogen. Our math says it started 14 billion years ago, while the oldest rocks and meteorites we have found in our galaxy formed less than 5 billion years ago. Materials heavier than lithium form within gravitational masses like stars and planets. Any hydrogen and helium made on earth escapes into space because those materials are too lightweight to be kept by earth's gravity.

Geology of Southern California over time.

I am invested in this hundred million year old story and where it rolls next: The pink rhyolite stones laying around San Diego and the farther away Northern Channel Islands were together cast in Sonora near El Piñacate before land settled where it is today.

I appreciate when people use local stones in their garden instead of imported rocks with odd colors and strange marbling from far away.

My most prized rock is California's youngest, from the top of Mount Lassen somehow.

Photograph of rocks on the ground.
Surface gravel and crushed sandstone in Balboa Park. The conglomerate rock and pebbly sandstone of the Sweitzer Formation is an unconformity covering Balboa Park and the Pueblo San Diego watershed at a thickness of twenty feet. No fossils have been found within the formation, suggesting the land was quickly blanketed by the rapid erosion of a source area. Maybe the Colorado river washed across San Diego long ago when the land was located more east. The life‑giving water of the Colorado river still provides for San Diego, plus water from Northern California and local reverse osmosis. From Ballast Point, the stones spread by ship.

It is amazing that before sea level rose a hundred meters over the last twenty thousand years, Islas Coronado were connected to land exactly like Point Loma and Mount Soledad.

Photo of shoreline.
Point Loma Ecological Reserve, the end of the earth, a place for outdoor adventure, contemplation, watching the sea, defending against attack, dumping partially treated sewage into the ocean, unpermitted crabbing, and scattering ash cremains.

I like erosion and conformities. Mountains are the shattered remains of plutons and sediments hosting a layer of decaying organic matter and various forms of life. It is awesome that our foundation is constantly shifting, rain and shade patterns above change over time as the land moves beneath us, and our 300,000 years of human history is a story of people moving between places and making sense of their surroundings and experiences using their best but limited vocabulary.

The ground is important to study because some layers wash away easy and others are too hard for plants to grow. Some foundations are strong and a few are associated with wealth.

Photo of Point Loma and downtown San Diego.
Point Loma protects San Diego from strong currents. The lower black layers of siltstone can be seen at sea. Close to the continental slope, offshore continues to be a whale hunting area, and before motorized boats, the San Diego harbor was a whale nursery. Motor sounds are too loud for whales. Maybe Anchorman was right.

Build up over time. Do not dig down unless necessary because it is hard. You will undermine your foundation and find things. Sand and debris need removal after storms when they wash downhill, and water is seldom found uphill. Compared to excavating, it is easier to lay new utility pipes on the ground and then add dirt where needed to level grade, and then encase the work with road surface and sidewalk to protect it from trucks and people.

Photo of Point Loma shoreline and hillside.
Empty beach, bluffs, unbothered hills, ocean views, the Point Loma Formation has cliffs and sea caves that are unsafe to explore at lowest negative tide.

Looking around, there are few natural features. Blocks of old buildings I remember have been leveled and rebuilt as megolith condominiums. These buildings are commonly called five‑over‑ones, but now they often seem to be eight or more storeys tall with basements too. Everyone needs parking. Humans are getting good at materials science. Ten billion people need to go somewhere.

Resting oceanside with seabirds along tidepools, the water is a chilly 65°F / 18°C, okay for fishing, cooling the breeze 76°F / 24°C, perfect for life.
Historic photo from Point Loma.
Several base end stations are visible at Cabrillo: Concrete bunkers built into Point Loma's hillsides served as base end "observation" stations. From them, soldiers looked for enemy and relayed targeting data by telephone to a plotting room. People spent long monotonous hours scanning for enemy ships, aircraft, or a submarine's periscope.

Math could save your life and everyone else's too. Math is certainly useful for video games. Trigonometry aims accurate artillery fire. Two spotters of known separation, each communicate a target's direction to a controller, calculating the two directions to provide accurate zeroing for multiple artillery guns. During the 1940s Pacific War, humans updated information to a 20 second clock. Today, electronics are faster (>6 GHz), and less tiring for human operators, allowing for real‑time weapons ranging and super‑human awareness. Imagine a distributed sensor network, photographic, thermalelectromagneticacoustichydrophonic, reporting all data observed to specialized computing facilities. Instead of oxygen, calories, sweat, and blood, the expense is electricity and computers, chilled by CRAHs and ethylene glycol loops, fire suppressed with HFC‑227ea and Novec 1230. Now everyone can watch screens from faraway air conditioned offices instead of sitting at the beach.

I spent a lot of time on the internet and I learned everything about it. The internet is a boring technology, but internet experts are wanted by organizations that love data. The internet is just an interconnected network. I have lived my life off the internet. Sure, the internet is a neat little gizmo, but I feel greater awe for the much more systemically important electric grid.

It is fun to think of The Internet Protocol as the skinny waist of communication, but the tech stack has been stuck in its mid-life crisis for decades. Some of the smartest people on the planet cannot figure out how to run modern IPv6 services. GitHub and Node Package Manager are still only available over IPv4 in 2026. Now that the United States government is IPv6 only, more people realize 6 > 4.

It takes the world to build a computer. Most tin is mined from China, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Half of all tin is used to solder electronic components together, and a small amount is burned to produce the light that transfers microchip designs onto silicon wafers refined from quartz mined from North Carolina. The machines that perform the work are built in the Netherlands. Half of their cost is lenses and mirrors from Germany, while their light producing device comes from San Diego. Light is made by streaming molten tin bits into a hydrogen vacuum and shooting the tin with lasers to excite it into plasma, which while cooling releases 13.5nm ultraviolet radiation, stannane gas, and tin dust. The 13.5nm photons are collected and directed by the mirrors to cast microscopic circuit designs onto silicon wafer film sheets that are hardened by lasers, cleaned of unneeded material, and stacked, producing three dimensional microchips through processes pioneered in the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea.

Through miniaturization of circuitry, we have made electronics faster and more power efficient. Sometimes I wonder into which landfill all the old computers go, or if they are sailed out to sea and dumped there.

The ground swells when saturated with water and shrinks when dry. That is why sidewalks shift and building cracks form. The wicking removal of water from the ground through gravity springs and soil aeration provides habitat for life like bacteria and bugs, who prepare the soil for microrhizzal fungi and plant root hyphae to convert ground minerals, nutrients, and moisture into shade and food. When rain gutters deposit rain immediately beside a structure, the soil outside exposed to wind and light dries faster than the soil beneath, causing uneven foundation settling and collapse.

I wonder where the surface rocks went and how many feet down I must dig to find rocks again. Everything was placed by someone. It was all built up and everything is everywhere the same. People are building up their square property lots, realigning the curbs and walls over time. Some lots are good coffee shops, and others are nice houses with cool gardens. The interstate highway system connects us with opportunities and protects us from coyotes.

I encourage you to visit my end of the earth. Orient towards Baja.

The roads and rail lines lead directly to military bases, and the reservoirs and freeways were built on top of towns. There was population collapse but now the farms beside the road have become nice condos. Are people the crop?

The weather is nice. We accept our lives will be severely impacted by the next slip of the Rose Canyon fault line, and that should any nuclear war occur against the United States, we may be prioritized for destruction.

There is a constant sound of rolling car tires. Sirens, horns, and dog barks are common. Airlines and trains are every few minutes. Buses are every 7–15 minutes, weekends 30. Emergency helicopter flights occur every hour. Military flights are mostly during the day. Cruiselines are seasonal but often enough. Cemeteries, jails, landfills, and reservoirs are full. Rocket launches at sunset look like comets. NASSCO makes fumes, fires, and explosions. NAVWAR building air quality gives cancer. Visiting Miramar's mima mounds is difficult. Military bases are our nature reserves. Everything else was paved over. We need to build more homes.

The Roosevelt Reservation is militarized. Polleros abandon people in desert canyons without shelter, food, or water, necessitating Border Patrol provide aid. Some people with unclear backgrounds are transported for detention in third countries. The easiest paths to American residency are being sponsored by American family or purchasing business that can employ you, your family, friends, and neighbors. Asylum refugee prison conditions are terrible. Air conditioning, 50°F / 10°C to avoid bad smells, a metallic thermal blanket, always potatoes, months or years of waiting in a group cage, would it not be easier to give up and go home? They want you to think America is misery. They want you to leave disgusted and to tell others how bad it is. Bless water drops and Friends.

I enjoy that I can go about my day seeing or climbing giants Kwaypaay, 'Ewiiy Hellyaa, Kuuchamaa, 'Ekwiiyemak, dreaming of more distant 'Ewiiy Kw'emaay, Tahquitz, 'Ewiiy 'Ishpa, and feeling the onshore breeze that seems to originate from Haasilly 'Ewik Kuukap. Every land has its cathedrals.

I believe in linguistic relativity. The more languages you know, the more ways you can think, and the more interpretations of life you can consider. I was offered to learn a lot of languages in school, and I accepted most offers for at least 101 introduction. Nonetheless you can tell by the words written on this website that I mostly think in American English.

I like sentences with four words or less and I prefer synonyms with the fewest syllables unless longer words sound better. I also advocate for the removal of adverbs and adjectives from writing (remove descriptive words ending in –ly) and avoiding parentheses and other math symbols. If you want to know how someone is trying to shape your thinking, notice the adverbs and adjectives they use. I dislike orphans, contractions, and apostrophes. I do not like writing them, but I do not mind reading them sometimes.
