My family and I ended up going to the Zoo today and it was an exceptionally good trip.  Now, we always go several times a year and are proud owners of season passes, but today was something special.  We went earlier in the morning than usual and apparently it's true, the animals are more active in the morning. Amazonia was really a treat, since the monkeys were running all over their exhibit.  They managed to play intently the entire time we were there or at least until my 2 year old daughter lost interest.  The large pig looking thing in the bottom was also active.  It (sorry can't remember what...

Stopped by C & I Electronics on my lunch break to find out what kind of deals they had on a used Netbook or small low-end laptop.  Unfortunately, their prices are a little high, for what I consider heavily used hardware.  I have a hard time swallowing only $50 in savings over buying new.

Twitter is a popular and exponentially growing online communication tool used by virtually everyone.  Think of the service as like a one way conversation that allows you to listen into what certain individuals are doing, right when it's happening.  Now, the conversations don't have to be one way, the ability to subscribe to each others updates is what makes Twitter a social phenomenon.

Just a quick thank you to our elected officials for screwing the residents of Evansville over in regards to this years property taxes.  Since myself, or anyone else in Evansville got a Homestead exemption, I had to cut a check to the bank for the difference in my Escrow.  Now, it's not a huge amount, but it's enough to royally piss me off. Vanderburgh County is the only county within Indiana that did not get the Home Stead Exemption option on their taxes.  Our mayor is claiming over sight, but I'm saying it was a corrupt move to pad the pockets of the city.  An additional $5 million is now being...

Well, one of my great friends snapped this shot with her cell phone from an apartment complex on the East side. To be honest, I think it's a great reminder we all need to heed when going for a public swim. Although while thinking about it, this should apply to more things than just swimming and why doesn't the pool I use have this sign up? I guess they just don't care.
