Africam is awesome. It features live streaming video of wildlife by two watering holes in Africa, and you never know what is going to show up. I think I'm hooked.

I don't know what kind of hoofed animals are on camera now, but one of them has an amazing pair of spiraled horns.

And, under the heading of "what were they thinking", I offer the ugliest shoes on the planet.
They also qualify for most bizarre.

Indy

Roger Ebert says exactly what I hoped he would say about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This is the kind of review I was really hoping to see. Warning - possible minor spoilers.

This will be a good movie summer.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms!

catching up

Both the city of Charlottesville and the Governor of Virginia have podcasts now. Hello 21st century!

Oh, come on

It takes more than a cent to mint a penny, and the same to mint a nickel (more than a cent, or more than five cents?)

Solution? Mint the coins out of steel.

Ugh.

What is it going to take to be rid of pennies all together?

I am frustratd. The "e" key, the space bar, and th period have dcided they are only going to work when they feel like it.

This is very frustrating. I nver know when I am going to hve to go backfor corrections.

This is almost enough to convince me to look into getting a new computer.

I should also add that what I type takes a few seconds to appear on the scren.

I can afford nw computer now? Or soon?

And why do these keys work better when I am trying to show how badit is gettng? Bleah!

And why dosit takeso long for what Ityp to appearon the screen?
