I had a fun little Twitter experience yesterday. I put Hootsuite up in a browser on my laptop when I’m at work, so I’ve got an easy way to glance over and, in under a second, see if there are any replies, direct messages, or tweets from various lists (it’s not multitasking, as scientists have […]

A smattering of pictures with very limited explanations… House Lights This is a significant increase in volume from past years, largely due to Julie buying a couple of large tubs of used Christmas lights at a garage sale over the summer for $5.

They reported that, between the two of them, they saw 199 species of birds (they each saw 198, and each saw one that the other did not see).
