Who knows what all he is digging up when you are not around. You should let Basra loose as a sort of watch"dog".

I stopped by earlier today on the way back from work. Wanted to check out your bike but you were probably out biking. And OH MY, your garden is GROWING and FLOWERING by leaps and bounds. And you know what, that rabbit was THERE chewing away on all your herb. I swear it had BIG mouthful of something from your new vegetable patch! It didn't even move as I came closer! Could be that I am not that intimidating but I think it's more because he just was so intent on destroying and digging up your patch. You have do something or risk losing all veggies.

Some rabbits around the city are rather sluggish. They probably are sick from eating leftover plastic or something. Basra could totally get them - bionic appendages or not.

If the tortoise you could have redone the old kids book but for some reason I think as quick as the rabbit is it may have wound up somehow being the food in this case?
tinypliny - 06/18/11 11:49
Thanks very much. We enjoyed our respective visits, though I am slightly jealous that the rabbit got a lot more herbs out of your garden than I managed to smuggle out.

Awe! Bunny! I always talk to them and they seem to like it.

Popular Science
Category: web
Popular science published its magazine as a chrome web app . It seems to work ok in other browsers.

It was a pretty awesome experience flipping through the magazine on the TV and the stories were pretty good. There is also an angry birds app - It also works in firefox.
paul - 06/18/11 15:22
lol, I figured.
tinypliny - 06/18/11 12:49
Wait. I meant to put that random comment in the chat box but totally forgot and put it here!
tinypliny - 06/18/11 12:48
I wanted to go to the farmer's market today but I am being lazy and doing my tonload of laundry now. I had no idea I had so many shirts and trousers... All of them look the same though.
tinypliny - 06/18/11 12:47
Arrrgh! that story won't load even after 30 freaking seconds! I could have read and skimmed through the more boring source journal article by now!
paul - 06/18/11 12:36
You are missing out on so much of the internet. You should get a faster connection. THis part where a T-cell is trained to attack a cancer cell is neat :::link:::
tinypliny - 06/18/11 11:52
That darned magazine takes too long to load (as in more than 15 sec).

AND what is with the angry birds thing? The logo and ads seem to get bigger and angrier by the day. I did a clean install of chrome-beta at work and I swear the angry birds logo was half the size of the screen at one point.

Golden Greek Tortoise
Category: pets
I always want to get another sulcata but I can't because they just get to big. Then today I found a kind of tortoise that stays relatively small at 6-7" and is very similar looking to a baby sulcata. Its called a greek golden tortoise . Then I found this site saying golden greeks are not a type of tortoise

Here it is in all its cuteness. I would name it creme puff.

I take it back, nothing is as cute as a baby sulcata.

Battle? These things are TINY when they are born - like a few centimetres across!
metalpeter - 06/18/11 12:30
I was wondering if they would battle or not? Maybe if you feed Basra enough and in spot so he doesn't move for his food they might not.......
tinypliny - 06/18/11 11:52
I think the Basra might eat the smaller ones.

The Motherload and grace muscles
Category: garden
(e:terry) and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.

At this point I will settle for any muscles -graceful or not. Someone asked me if I had shrunk a few inches the other day!
tinypliny - 06/17/11 19:55
Man, I need to really come to yoga. I have pretty much lost whatever little I had gained. Pretty graceless I am afraid.
paul - 06/17/11 15:57
Its what (e:enknot) calls the muscles we get from yoga vs the muscles he gets from lifting weights. Considering that moving 3000lbs of material in a hour is is the max performance I need to get out of my body per year, that it was relatively easy, and that the rest time I am just typing, I think "grace" muscles are good enough. I mean why power a Hummer when I really just need a Vespa.
tinypliny - 06/17/11 15:48
What are grace muscles? Should I know this fancy term?
