I think these were called Snowball plants. This flower had a butterfly on it.

Here is an interesting, gnarled old tree. The tree was in bloom. Here's another shot of it. Mary thought these trees looked interesting.

Here's a cicada shell I found in the backyard over the weekend while attempting to remove wild black raspberry vines. It was very hard to get the camera to focus on the cicada, rather than the wall in the background. I finally had to put my hand immediately behind it and get the camera to focus on it.

Well it didn’t take long to wipe the shiny off of the Chrome.  When Google said that they had developed new ways to automate user actions in the browser, and that they had tested it on all of the top sites, I actually believed them.  I should have seen their caveat that they couldn’t fill out forms as a warning sign.

A physics textbook was considered invalid for meeting core requirements solely because each chapter of the book included a single bible verse at the beginning of the chapter. ACSI was told that if the book did not contain these verses, it would be acceptable. A lawsuit was filed, and the case is scheduled for trial later this year.read more | digg story

A new study (I don't trust studies!) from the University of Michigan Health System (never heard of them before) suggests (boy, that's a real weasel word) that a compound in green tea (so ... not the tea itself, but a small part of it) may (another weasel word) provide therapeutic benefits to people with rheumatoid arthritis (what about other types?.

Well, Microsoft has finally gone and created a (free) replacement for FrontPage that doesn't consist of adding a "Publish to Blog" button in a Word toolbar.  Windows Live Writer is a lean and mean tool that makes blogging easy without a huge executable.  I've been able to test it using both MSN Spaces and blogspot.  It's in Beta right now, so give it a shot.

This sounds wonderful! I've been using Nero Vision, and was wondering if this is better. When I tried it out, it detected commercials OK, and I loved the tools for rocking back and forth between frames. What stinks is that it limits the trial version not only to 14 days, but also to 30 minutes. That is not enough time to confirm if it gets the audio out of sync with the clip or not.

The 787 is a real hit with airlines, which is bad news for Airbus and their A350.  While producing a hypothetical 787-10, which could carry more passengers than the 787-9, might cannibalize the market for the 777-200ER, it allows airlines to lower their costs by maintaining fewer models in their fleet and to keep fuel costs down since the 787 is lighter and more efficient than the 777

When you said 'Is it "school" when the kids learn how to play with their 21-month-old sister without making her cry?' it reminded me of the question we so often get from others:  "But what about socialization skills?  It sure seems to me that learning how to play gently with a sibling is a very important socialization skill, and not one they are apt to learn when being socialized

By attaching storage to the router, it's always on (without having to leave a host computer always running), and it's cheap at $100.

When you perform a task so often that it becomes second-nature to you, when your muscle memory allows you to do something without consciously thinking about it or planning it out, this is the result.

Just a week or so ago, I ran across a term I had not heard before: "The Long Tail." It describes a concept I had not directly thought about before in such concrete terms, but had abstractly felt the effects of, for quite awhile. It details how, in a group of people (think of a pyramid), the base has the least reach/authority/button when you consider one individual, but a tremendous influence if

I've known about Safari for quite awhile now, but never gave it a try. In the course of looking for books about P3P, I ran across an O'Reilly book that looked quite good, so I decided to give their 14-day trial a shot. The first thing I found out, unfortunately, was that the book I was interested in was NOT available! While adding books to my virtual bookshelf, I started getting annoyed
