This makes for an exciting evening. Watch the total lunar eclipse or watch on the news as the U.S. attempts to shoot down a satellite via missle launch. What could go wrong? They have 3 attempts.

Leakage
jason law
Ohh, the joys of homeownership. Here in doldrums of michigan, we’ve recently gone through a cycle of rain, snow, sleet, snow, rain. Yesterday we had a big warm up. Well regrettably I hadn’t shovelled the back of my driveway for sometime and the melt found its way into my basement. Two hours and $30 dollars later (flat shovel), I had all the snow/ice and about 5 gallons of water moved away from the house. We’ll just have to wait and see if my work was worth it. All of this was due to an ineffective drainspout, which i have now fitted with one of my garden drains which extend about 4 feet and is flexible.

Twitter and the impact on Bloggers
jason law
I’ve noticed that no matter how much I want to create long and insightful posts that most of what I want to say can be summed up in a few sentences. With the use of Twitter I can create a quick “tweet” of what I am thinking at that moment. Now there are a few things I wish twitter could do. The first is categorizing or tagging tweets. Lets say I want to display all of my tweets about winter, a simple call to the Twitter API asking for tags related to “winter” would be awesome. Maybe implement tagging similar how you reply to someone ($winter:Winter is Cold). This could even possibly allow for multiple tags ($winter,$michigan,$snow:This winter in michigan there has been some snow). Another cool feature would be polling. So I could ask my followers a question like this: “poll(superbowl:yes,no):Will the patriots win the superbowl?” Users would then reply “@jaylaw81:poll(superbowl: yes)”. Now these are advanced type features that would extend the current Twitter system, not something for the casual user.

Simplicity is wonderful
jason law
When you have the ability to do alot usually it ends up with you doing nothing. So in the spirit of simplicity I’ve reduced the design to what a blog is, about the posts. The only special thing you get extra are my twitter tweets on the sidebar, which I update more often than anything else.
