Mower controlled by Wiimote
I think I need this thing. I was just looking out the window, and I think I would be able to use it pretty soon. Don’t you want it, too? It even has a website.
Tech for Granny
Almost Finished!
Well, I’ve been busy. After my day at the Library of Michigan Wednesday, I spent Thursday playing catch up. I’m not there, but almost. I spend some time in the yard, finally! It sure felt good to be outside. I raked one of the ditches near the street and hauled the leaves to the still … Read more
Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis
Papa and I had a wonderful time yesterday at our friend Jimmy’s benefit show, Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis. So wonderful, I took a great nap after we got home this afternoon. When we arrived I realized there was Internet access from the facility; but social networking sites were blocked. No, I don’t have a fancy … Read more

Someone over on Scanfest asked about my choppers. Well, actually they asked about my pool boy, but I don’t really have pool boys. I went out to check the daffodils on April 1 and here is what I found, they have yellow tips and about are ready to blossom. Additionally, there was a chopper and … Read more
More Plain English

Look at the Sun Shine!

Saturday is Right Around the Corner
There are a bunch of options for bluegrass in the D this weekend. After careful consideration, Papa and I have decieded to head down to the Huron Valley Eagles and see B0 and John and ’em. We’ve seen Bo sing quite a bit, but this will be the first time we’ve seen this group. Bo … Read more
Twitter in Plain English
You all know by now that I’m a big fan of Lee LeFever, and his product, explanation. Common Craft is GOOD at explanation. Here’s their latest: There, since you’ve learned something today, you can take the rest of the day off.
Sixty-Four or One-Twenty-eight?
I read a few tech columns and blogs, but not enough so you would mistake me for a technology wiz, or even someone with more than basic knowledge of “How stuff works”. Today, however, a headine in my reader caught my eye, and I didn’t mark the item as “read”, I actually read the darn … Read more
