Are these "parakeets" budgerigars? If so, I though you all might like this small, double-picture article on wild budgerigars. They like to flock:

Who needs an OS other than a geek who loves machines more than the content...

Computers do many things but tend to obliterate the tasks at hand by seizing too much of attention away from the user. I, like many, prefer to forget the machine in favor of concentrating on the tasks. On the PC I tend to waste half my time wrestling with windows and updates for all the necessary leeches. Since I got the iPad, I took a little time to analyze time involvement with computing task maintenance versus actual use and it came down almost fifty/fifty. With the iPad, maintenance issues fell off drastically. Of course there are drawbacks with limits but so is driving a vehicle; as long as you get there on time...
I'm not a computer buff, I just learned to use them as I went from the necessary evil care and tending but I stop there. With the iPad things are much simpler. It allows me to do more in shorter periods with less emphasis on the machine and less cursing...

Yes, it's a great painting demo. I've seen it on ipadforums.net.
I still can't master the finger painting yet. Some of the things this artist does in this demo need explanation. I'll learn it by trial and error I guess...

Does anyone want to buy a NEW Kindle 2 International today?

One Day Only: Woot.com has them for $149.99 + $5 shipping.

Hard to beat that deal. This is not a refurb, it's a NEW unit.

This may have something to do with the the e-mail I got from Woot this morning saying they had been acquired by Amazon. Then again, the cheap price may have something to do with the rumors of a K3 coming in August or thereabouts, and they may be trying to clear their inventory. At any rate, I doubt you'll find a better deal on a new K2i.

If you know someone who yearns for a K2, pass the word. Today only, and once Woot sells out of their stock, the deal is gone.

It should work, as it's just a YouTube embed, but it's just got the YouTube play symbol with a cross through it on my iPhone, so... I'll have to have a look. Perhaps it needs the full embed code when I post it.

Still, even on the YouTube site it doesn't work.

I just might go see it in two weeks when I fire up the ol' PC...

Probably not as badly, and I'm surprised at one this time of the year in this area. They used to be an annual occurrence around October/November time.

And our power is back now - earlier than expected
