First Snow 2007

We finally got some snow a few days ago! And it's actually cold enough outside for the snow to stick around!! And I'm using a lot of exclamation points!!!!!!

Winter has finally arrived in West Michigan. Huzzah!

Cry of the Hunter

We were sitting in our family room watching TV when we heard the cry of the hunter:

"Rowr! Rowr! Rowr!"

I looked around for the source.

Then I found it.

TJ, our home's head cat, had pounced on and caught an errant hair band, her prey. TJ saw me looking at her and cried out, "Rowr?", and ran off, freeing the hair band.

I walked out to the hallway to pick up the hairband. As I lifted it, I thought I might have heard a small tiny voice saying, "Help me!" . But, I'm pretty sure it was just my hallucination imagination.

White Day-After Christmas?

It's snowing!

Well, so far just light flurries, but I'm hoping for more!

Secret of Google's Search Success

Have you ever wondered how Google is able to return what are, sometimes, eerily precise results to your web searches? Me, too! Well, the answer is... pigeons! Or, more precisely, PigeonRank, a system which arranges pigeons into low-cost pigeon clusters (PCs). Who knew?
