Realized that the last 3 posts were Palin-centric and was annoyed with myself, so here’s a timely break from all that.

I’ve been using google chrome here on the work computer for 2 hours this morning, and I have to say, I’m impressed. It’s minimalist, attractive, and intuitive.

Pretty brilliant as far as cliche’-illuminating goes.

More birds!

The feeder is exploding! New visitors include some common characters: Red-winged blackbirds, common grackles, among others. There’s been a slightly greenish bird I can’t quite identify as well as blue jays and cardinals. I appreciated the simultaneous appearance of a blue jay and cardinal yesterday, even though they didn’t play any baseball.

I’ll be refilling the feeder today, which means that they’re plugging away about about a full feeder every two weeks. Yikes!
