I’m not very good at growing vegetables, I have found (though I keep trying), but things are happening in my garden, nonetheless! This year, I’ve noticed a few newcomers to my usual flower patches, and one visitor in particular has brought some friends. If you like looking at insects (mostly winged ones), and want to … Continue reading "Bee Parties and Greenery"
Last weekend, I took my kid out around town, and we went on a “photo walk,” which is what I’ve decided to call it. They’re taking a Journalism class, and they’ve been entrusted with a DSLR so they can get familiar with photography, so I figured we’d go and get some practice on our own … Continue reading "Photos from around town"
Anastasia has been very vocal lately, much more than usual, and it’s been worrying us.

It’s … Continue reading "Breaking Cat News: New Sleeping Spot"

But the one thing that … Continue reading "The Music Discovery Problem"
This little simplistic device has been making the rounds on the smallweb lately, and I have fallen prey to the hype. That said, I have no regrets and have been enjoying my time with it, so here are my thoughts on the gadget. The X4 by Chinese company XTEInk is a 4-inch tall e-reader that … Continue reading "XTEInk X4 Minimaist e-Reader Review + DIY Case"
I’ve been hoarding photos of things outside for a little while in the hopes that I could find some theme to tie them altogether. They’re getting kind of numerous, though, so I think it’s time to put them up. These range from the snow blizzard we had back in the beginning of February, up until … Continue reading "I touched grass recently"
