Wow! Origami made with a dollar bill! Received these images in an email from a friend. Dollar origami camera Wow! Won Park origami. Too cool. Now, if only the camera actually worked and took fantastic pictures for only a dollar. Here’s more: Dollar Origami fish There are videos demonstrating how to make some of these figures. Here’s another…a [...] Well, the day is over, I’m still at my computer and I have nothing to blog about. To top it off, it took a week to figure out a date that worked for three people, and now I find out somebody else scheduled something for the same day and needs me to be there, but [...] Mark your calendar. I saw my first June bug of the year. There will be many, many more over the next few weeks. I decided to spare you a picture. Thunk, thunk, thunk (that's the sound they make as they smash into and grab onto to any screen near a light). All evening long…thunk, thunk, [...] Reggie and I went to the vets this morning. Everything is about the same; rbc is 34%. So he's staying on the same dosage of Prednisone, but we'll finish the antibiotics tomorrow morning. I bought a new type of dog food for him today and he's snarfing it down. I don't know if that means [...] I went car shopping today for the first time in over 13 years. Sigh, I'm just not ready for this. My parents came as they also need a new car. We went to a Toyota dealership and looked at several different models. It seems to me that all of the 2009 Toyotas have gotten bigger and [...] Can you entertain a crowd with your Tic Tacs? This guy can: I've been sick with a cold and have been void of energy lately. I spent Thanksgiving weekend sleeping as much as possible and coughed through the following week. The holiday season is SO not the time to be sick. I'm so behind with everything now. I don't know if I'll get Christmas cards out this [...] On Tuesday my aunt and uncle are arriving for a short visit…a too short a visit as often happens with loved family. I wished they lived closer! We’ve had a few visitors lately and it’s been wonderful. Last weekend was Susan and the weekend before that was my friend Karen. Also the weekend before was my [...] Anyone know how to recycle old batteries from battery backups? It’s an APC and I know they have a trade-in program, but it’s less expensive and faster to buy through Amazon.com. I don’t see anything on APC’s site about recycling. I know Radio Shack used to take batteries, but I don’t know if they still [...] This past Saturday, I was driving on a local highway when my car was attacked by flying ice. The weather was wonderful…maybe a little cold…the visibility was excellent, the roads were dry and that's impressive considering the weather we've been having. But there was hidden ice. Ice slowly losing its grip, just waiting to take [...] (A little experiment wit tonigt’s blog: I’m tying wit my new MacBook notebok sitting in my lap, as ou can see I’m aving problems wit te keybar. The rest of the entry was done with te aptop and witout me making corrections. A corrected version of the post is in te extended entry if you [...] This is unbelievable cute! Otterly adorable!!! (Be sure to turn the volume up a tad so you can hear. And watch the whole thing, it isn’t long, but the payoff is special!) Hat tip: T.L. Thanks for sharing it with me. Sunday morning I left early for church so I could stop at the ATM to deposit a check…only at the ATM I discovered my ATM card was absent from my wallet. I searched the car, my purse, and the house…ATM is AWOL. Several years ago my bank decided to convert all its customers’ ATM cards into [...] flat tires, icy roads, snowy roads Last month I posted about my friend that was robbed. Her insurance claim for the stolen items was over $10,000 (I won’t list specific amounts or details). Unfortunately, the computer and jewelry riders on her insurance policy were not high enough to cover the losses in those areas. She’s receiving about $3,000 less than her [...] A friend’s house was robbed while she was at work yesterday. A neighbor saw kids loitering around the neighborhood, but didn’t call the police in case it seemed racists–wrong choice. (I don’t know what race the neighbor is or the race of the kids she saw.) But the neighbor described some of the clothes the [...] A cellphone almost killed a child today…I saw the event with my very own eyes. There were two boys riding their bikes and two cars and one cellphone. I drove the second car, a bit back from the action, and had a clear view. Only, it wasn’t the car drivers with the cellphones…it was one of [...] Today I went to Panera Bread Company for a late soup lunch and a place to work with fewer distractions than I can create or find in my home. While I was there, a woman sitting near me started annoying the rest of us as she talked loudly on her cell phone. I put in [...] Yes, cross dressers, but probably not the kind you are thinking of. This is for all you Janeites, Trekkies, or Star War fans (isn’t there a nickname for Star War fans?). Anyway, too funny! Go to this link and then select “Galactic Jane Austen.” Be prepared to laugh! (And be sure to scroll past the first [...] |

A couple of unrelated tidbits:
Here’s interesting an article about DVD commentaries. Let’s hope their predictions of the future of DVD commentaries and DVD sales are incorrect. Hat Tip: Laura.
An addictive little non-game, Line Rider, that I’ve seen a few bloggers mention. Don’t kill your dude…although it is kind of funny! Poor dude.
Have a good weekend!
