Here’s Neubella enjoying the sun on the cat roost/bed that Evelyn made. It runs across the entire front window sill. A nice warm spot brought Neubella and Sally together. There is an inverse ratio between the amount of time people spend talking about their faith and the amount of time they actually practice it. The cheap brag about their cheapness. The generous are silent and giving. There is an inverse ratio between the number of “social media” posts and the value of said posts. More asides →.

I’ve never quite understood why there’s a focus on “summer reading” ’cause I read all the freaking time. But, anyway. Here are some books that I’ve been reading, for those that wish to delve into my demented soul. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by HST. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. The Martian by Andy Weir. Mr Bones by Paul Theroux. Known for his travel writing, he really shines in the short story. To my taste, the first half is better than the last. Mainly because I got a l...See w...

Fun Tech Learning Resources. Those who know me know that I’m not the World’s Biggest Fan of formal education. Too much pounding square pegs into round holes and whatnot. So, I’m always looking out for interesting ways to teach without the rote learning and boredom. Here are a couple of resources that might be of interest. The neat thing about these books is that you get to choose a path. Reading and interaction. Don’t like the one path? It’s very easy to use — a parent and young child can get...Personall...

This is a story about a robot. Actually, it’s a story about a new house, nine cats, and a robot. When we got our new (old) house, we knew that we wanted tile floors. Even though the humidity isn’t as bad in Central Texas as it is near the coast, it’s still pretty high. And we have cats. A lot of cats. Which, as any cat owner knows, means hair and puke and other misadventures. So, carpet was out. Just sweep and mop! Unlike the iRobot, which just knocks around into things, the Neato is laser guided. It...

In Praise of Uni-Taskers | Copperas Cove Capers
http://sybarite.us/2015/06/30/in-praise-of-uni-taskers
In Praise of Uni-Taskers. TV celebrity chef, Alton Brown, is not a fan of what he calls “uni-taskers” in the kitchen. Those are devices which can only be used in one way. Think: cherry pitters and other gizmos. While I do agree with him when it comes to the kitchen, I’ve found the rule less effective in other areas of my tech life. I’m singling out the smart phone here, but the same is true for the always-internet-connected PC. But the phone exacerbates the problem. Just growing old and senile? I go thro...
