A friend of mine and I heard the Pippinni Sister’s remake of Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. So we didn’t remember how the original went… So we loaded YouTube. Oh it was bad. She described Kate Bush’s singing as Tori Amos on helium. Heh. Related Images:

Hieroglyphics and Cuneiform Translator!
According to a press release from the University of Advanced Technology in Arizona, an instructor has created a translator for cuneiform and heiroglyphics. A snippet from the press release is included below. The Web site for the translator is called Virtual Secrets. Fascinating stuff. Interesting content, although I honestly find the layout of the site annoying.

Finally… Back in June when the toilet fiasco hit, I had repainted the hallway and foyer. It was supposed to be a sage green. It turned out to be the color of algae. (Can you say depressing?) It is now a bright, light lemon yellow. I just finished painting, caulking and painting the mouldings, and touching up the trim where it needed it. Yay! One more room down… I still have the in...

My coworker and I have often talked about how hard it is to find anything made in America and the issues with a lot of the items that have come out of China lately. First pet food, then fermaldehyde in children’s clothing, small high-powered magnets, paint containing lead on children’s toys, etc. Now Newsweek is carrying a story about China trying to regular reincarnation. I read that on Slashdot initially and thought it...

A good friend of mine is trying to set up high speed internet access at her home. She lives out in the country, so her options are very limited. I told her about a friend of mine who uses Verizon’s wireless access vis PC card plugged into a wireless router. So my friend started exploring and found a very geeky option for her Mac: USB to EVDO to shared networking. So proud of...

This is just too cool! Mom emailed me today and said that she has pictures of my foal, who is still in utero. You know how doctors can take pictures of babies using ultrasound? Well apparently her vet did the same type of thing with Sabbath, the mare who is in foal to Sirdar. Mom is going to send me the pictures. Baby pictures! I’ll scan them and post them here when I...

The Grey Wonder Mare™ is really doing well. The swelling has continued to go down. The cut is now about the size of my thumbnail. It looks great! She is still a little lame on it — means she probably has some tendon damage to get over. We’ll keep working on things now that the skin is closing up. Overall, very good progress. (Except I got the vet bill. Ouch. Yay equine medical...

An-ti-ci-pa-tion… I’ve been waiting for a bloody week. And today, my precious has arrived! For over a year I have been lusting after the Motorola Ming A1200. The Ming is a quad-band GSM phone, so it works in analog and digital frequencies both here and in Europe. The 2MP camera also doubles as a camcorder. The Ming runs linux (Motorola’s customized version of Monta Vista Linux) and has J2ME Java environment. There are...

Even though Rajiyyah’s leg has been healing well, she has been doing something to it every night. Finding dried blood that has dripped half-way down a leg isn’t normal. It’s not oozing or seepage, it’s like she is re-damaging the leg every time she is in her stall. I don’t know what she is doing. One of the vet students suggested that maybe she has something still stuck in the cut that is...
