Me, aged 14, in Köln, Germany. Last time I did one of these it took me a long time to get it finished. Now that I think about, I still have the book MeMe laying about from Kristin Moran.  I better get to that one soon.  I guess that means I have to read or something (just kidding).  This MeMe is...

In light of my recent posting about the stray cat living under my deck and the response to it, I thought I'd write a little about my favorite place in San Antonio for pets and the care for the animals that get left ...

Since our last cat passed away, we have been noticing a little cat scooting about our backyard late at night.  Over time, we realized he was heading under the large deck in our backyard and assumed he must be living ...

photo courtesy of Old Shoe Woman Recently I wrote more than normal. Over the course of two days I wrote a little more than normal.  In those two days, I commented like mad and wrote 4 posts (2 a day) and even re-blogged one I thought more people should see (with permission of course).  I was fee...

I had watched in amazement when Photosynth was first revealed. For those of you that haven't seen Photosynth before, let's start at the beginning (if you know what we're talking about, skip down a few lines). Photosynth is a project from Microsoft Live Labs that is absolutely mind-numbing. It ta...
