Google is a super dog-friendly company. It proudly names “company dogs,” like Yoshka (described as a “free-range Leonberger”) pictured above. Yoshka accompanies Urs Holzle, senior VP operations and Google Fellow to the Googleplex. Less senior staff are also allowed to bring their dogs to the office.

We are all guilty of “internet procrastination”

Research Annotate, Archive, Organize Online bookmark: Organize by tags or lists; Access from anywhere, [...]

LOS ANGELES – Art Linkletter, who as the gently mischievous host of TV’s "People Are Funny" and "House Party" in the 1950s and ’60s delighted viewers with his ability to get kids — and grownups — to say the darndest things on national television, died Wednesday. He was 97. Linkletter died at his home in [...]

Checking ScribeFire?

At least the British Academy Film Awards got it right!  “The Hurt Locker” was the best movie that I saw in 2009.  When it comes around to “oscar night”, the big hollywierdo get together of actors who think they are politicians, I’m sure they will not choose “The Hurt Locker”.  They will inevitably give the [...]

Sorry Firefox but Google Chrome is so much faster.  Truthfully, I could make a pot of coffee and wait for it to finish before Firefox loaded!  I do have a lot of extensions in Firefox but it shouldn’t take that long to load.  Google Chrome just opened up their extension site …. wooooohoooo!!  This is [...]

Someone please tell CNN that Tiger Woods not playing in his own golf tournament is NOT breaking news! Someone please tell CNN that Chelsea Clinton getting engaged is NOT breaking news! When I get a breaking news text alert on my cell, I expect it to be something important ….. not some garbage.

One ray of sunlight was hitting the Thistle.  Made  an interesting shot ….    

I can’t believe that they have put “Big Cat Diary” on hiatus.  This is my favorite program on Animal Planet.  What are the big bosses thinking? I will miss the Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah families …. please bring them back!! Big Cat Diary on Hiatus    

A tiny, long-tailed bird of deciduous forests and scrublands, the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher makes itself known by its soft but emphatic "spee" calls and its constant motion. By flicking its white-edged tail from side to side, the gnatcatcher may scare up hiding insects. reference   I was lucky to get these two shots …. these little [...]

I went to a birthday party for my Uncle yesterday and the man that owns this “49 chevy” was there …. is that cool or what …….  

Joining Netflix is one of the best things that I have ever done!  My son has been hounding me for a long time to become a Netflix member so I finally decided to take the plunge …… Thank you Doug. After I had to have my sweet little Albie put to sleep last December, I [...]
