I stopped at a recycling dumpster to get some cardboard boxes, and found an oriental rug in the trash, 3'x4'. It still had a price tag on it, $55. It's a bit worn already, so I'm going to hang it up. I like the peacock.+of+picture.jpg)

Rochester Freecycle RSS
I set up an RSS feed for Rochester freecycle, so you don't have to deal with all the e-mails.

dot matrix dissection
Recent videos from Make magazine inspired me to want to make a 3-D printer. How far I get remains to be seen, but for now you can find me taking apart old electrical devices to salvage parts.

neat software
I found a neat piece of planetarium software, free, for windows/linux/mac, called Stellarium. Once you set your location, you can see what the sky looks right now, complete with an accurate sunset. I played around with it after listening to the first three weeks of astronomy lectures by Richard Pogge. Tonight I found Venus, Saturn, Procion, and Sirius. Some day I'll have to find a place to sit outside with my laptop and look at the sky.

lunar eclipse
I watched the moon vanish Saturday night!
I've been listening to podcasted classes when I have downtime at work, and I've gotten through the first 10 or so lectures of an astronomy class- which is quite interesting, as I never took earth science or astronomy.
