His mom was our godmother. We spent so much time together over the years that it just became simpler to say he was our cousin. He really is part of the family.<br />
<br />
For the past few years he has been working at the Wangensteen Historical Library at the University Of Minnesota. Outside of hearing about his work restoring old books and his tales of a broken water pipe disaster a few years ago I wasn't really aware of what he did or what sort of place he worked.<br />
<br />
Today our family payed a visit to view a Downton Abbey based display at the library. That may seem a bit odd, but it really was a way to show historical documents and objects that tied into the historical timelines of the show.<br />
<br />
The Downton stuff was cool, but it was when he brought us to the other room that I became really impressed. We saw books that were HUNDREDS of years old. Anatomy books with their contents based only on supposition and observation of animal corpses because when they were written, dissecting a human corpse was beyond taboo. Less than twenty years after those "this is what we think we look like on the inside" books were published, Andreas Vesailus broke all the rules and started looking at human corpses and published the first anatomically correct books, "<i style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_humani_corporis_fabrica" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: white; text-decoration: none;" title="De humani corporis fabrica">De humani corporis fabrica</a>". </i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"></span>Check out this picture. This was drawn by hand then given to a wood carver to turn into what was essentially a "stamp" for printing.<br />

They had a hand written copy of the writings of Pope John XXI-the only Pope that was a physician. He was only Pope for a year or so, and the fact he was doctor was somewhat of a scandal. Many thought it was gods punishment for his dabbling in the dark arts of doctoring when he was killed by a collapsing roof. There is a bit of interesting trivia in this image. Note the pointing fingers in the margin. These were used to highlight certain important points in the text. The pointing finger that your mouse pointer turns into when passing over a hyperlink is based on this tradition<br />

Christopher had also lined up some old tools and devices to check out. A tonsil remover from the 1800s, metal surgical "rings" used to repair intestines (reused after being "passed"), a cup that leached medicinal chemicals present in the wood when steeped in hot water over night, and a little box that had spring loaded razor sharp blades for blood letting.<br />

Coincidentally I had recently picked up the latest issue of Mountain Bike Action which had a pic from 1993 of a custom Clark Kent bike built for Iditabike. It had a wheelset consisting of two wheels laced onto each custom hub so the rider could run two tires per wheel. This would give a much wider tread to help give some "float" when riding in in snow. 20 years later and the options for fatbikes have become almost too numerous to count. I need to get one.<br />
<br />
Here is the Clark Kent

I had never heard of BloodNStuff before I saw them last summer. My friend's neighbor is in an industrial steampunk metal band and he assured us that we were in for a treat. As I had never met my friend's neighbor before that particular day, and the fact he was in an industrial steampunk metal band, I would be lying if I didn't say part of me thought his opinion might be suspect.<br />
<br />
Turns out he was 100% correct.<br />
<br />
This scruffy little Minneapolis two piece proceeded to blow my doors off. Most folks nowdays think "Two piece....hmm, probably a White Stripes\Black Keys thing". Nope. BloodNStuff has more in common with Rush than those two admirable duos. Thick layers of intricate riffs and precision drumming wrap around the lyrics of a powerful vocalist that may just be realizing that he is actually a powerful vocalist.<br />
<br />
Last summer they were playing in a tent at a local brewery. Currently they are on the road playing shows with Fu Manchu and Alice in Chains. <br />
