Ixodes scapularis

TweetI found a dog tick on myself yesterday. I actually felt it walking on my scalp. Good thing I had cut my hair. Then like a half hour ago I was scratching something on my right shoulder and when I looked at my hand I saw these little legs sticking out — what appeared to [...]

Why is my title in smallcaps now?

TweetWordPress is doing something weird now. Yesterday the head of the site was not in all caps, and today it is. Hmm. Ok, I figured it out. I guess I must have installed some new font on this computer – “Trajan Pro” – and the header was showing in that font. I deleted it from [...]

TweetI can’t help but feel people will be underwhelmed when they finally meet me after this kind of a build up. I’m flattered though. The fan in the bedroom burst into flames tonight and Anthony was terrified, so he got to spend the rest of the night downstairs while we watched TV. I should be [...]

I used to love my BlackBerry Pearl

TweetI got my phone in April 2007 from LetsTalk.com. I got a good deal — a BlackBerry Pearl and 2 Motorola RAZR V3rs for… free. No rebates or anything, totally free. LetsTalk screwed up the account creation but I got that straightened out with Cingular. The BlackBerry served me pretty well until around September 2008 [...]

Cell Phone Spam is Illegal, no?

TweetThis hasn’t hit me yet but several people I know have complained about it, so I figured I’d look it up to make sure my assumption was still correct: “Rest assured that placing telemarketing calls to wireless phones is — and always has been — illegal in most cases.” The Truth About Wireless Phones and [...]
