Divvy It Up!
After growing tired of the complicated math involved in sharing costs when traveling with friends, I decided to make a tool to do the math for you. You can add events, friends, and costs, and it will tell you who owes money to each person in the end. Now, it's a site where people can split costs for travel, rent, or anything. Pie charts show how costs have been shared.

Gas Chamber Memorial
Oświęcim, Poland
A morgue was converted into this gas chamber at Auschwitz in September 1941. It was first tested on Soviet POWs before coming into regular usage with prisoners. The gas chamber operated from 1941 to 1942, during which time some 60,000 people were killed. It was transformed into a bomb shelter by the Germans in 1944 but reconstructed after the war as a memorial.

United States Capitol
Washington, District of Columbia
The original Height of Buildings Act, passed by Congress in 1899 in response to the construction of the Cairo Hotel, limited buildings to the height of the Capitol building, which rises to 289 feet. But the act was amended in 1910 to restrict the height of any building to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet; thus, a building facing a 90-foot-wide street could be only 110 feet tall. The Capitol building is currently the fifth tallest structure in Washington.

After a quick train through the last bit of fjordland, we were in Bergen. As the second largest city in Norway, it’s a pretty good size, and there’s a good energy here. The tourists are almost exclusively Japanese, English, and German.
The Fjordlands of Norway
September 8, 2016 | travel
Our early morning train took us west from Oslo. The first part of the trip was nothing special, with suburbs giving way to the occasional lake. But eventually, the mountains turned into giant boulder piles stained green by lichen, forests got denser, views became more majestic. We’d spend a few…
