I own a pair of Sony headphones which went through the washing machine once. They still work just fine. I wonder if it works with Sony Vaio’s too?

This image of a venus flytrap about to flower really captured my attention today. There’s some truly appealing about it, but I can’t quite pinpoint what.

Me, drinking 7up, whilst working for 10up, at co-up!

Thanks to Harriet for finding another ridiculously addictive thing to keep me from doing things I should be doing 😛

The problem I see with analysing climate science for the masses, is that almost all data presented to the common person is manipulated either for or against climate warming being a problem. Most of the junk I see flowing through my Facebook feed alerting to the horrors of global warming, is nothing more than fear mongering junk, with little to no relevance to scientific study. That doesn’t mean global warming isn’t a problem, but the data (or analysis of data) used to argue the point is usually farcical at best.

Given this situation, I’m not surprised there is a debate amongst the populace regarding the situation. Then throw in the number of glaciologists and climatologists who shrug their shoulders when asked the question “is global warming a problem” and you have a situation in which many people will decide to take sides and aggressively push their own agenda.

FYI, I have no solution to this Just pointing out my viewpoint.

The top one is my current keyboard, the bottom one is the US equivalent. I always thought the keys were identical between countries! I guess not :/

Does anyone know if NZ computers come with US keyboards? I know the layout is typically set to US, but I’m wondering about the actual keys themselves.

Hmmm, it seems my typing speed has improved lately. That was with no warm up, no double take. Just randomly decided to do a test and out popped that result 🙂
