Global Mesh Network, Anyone?

A Slashdot.org reade has posed the question of how feasable it would be to build a global mesh network...

Athletic Kitty.

...or "I'm going to get that cat toy."

I love this.

Business Cards

Business cards may be going the way of the Dodo, but there will always be a need to leave a physical calling card of some kind when doing so electronically just can't be done. Below are some ideas I've had concerning one I'd like to do for my graphics and document management consulting service.

This is the one I'm probably going to use.

I liked this one... but when you look at it actual size or at a distance, you get the ol' MST3K "Glaucoma Theater" effect...

This one amuses me...  but I don't want a potential customer to think I'm a teenage Anime fan...  

These are the ones I've done so far... with the first being the one I think I'll use.  Any thoughts would be appreciated...

Florida Is Burning.

I've missed school due to snow, flood, Tropical storm... and now, forest fire.

Smoke and haze from wildfires continues.

Fires near Live Oak, Florida.


------------

Friday it was smoky, hazy, and school was called at 12:50 pm.


It's not too bad at this point.


Kids with asthma have it tough.


Math Quiz: Yay!


Buddy seemingly isn't bothered by the smoke.


Nothing interferes with Buddy getting his "fetch" on.


Focus... focus... he's about to throw it... steady....


There he goes!


Another successful return!

Just like a super foggy morning...


...but with your allergies all firing up at once.


"Hello... (cough, hack...), Welcome to WalMart..."


Lights are a neccessity.


Visibility is poor, and Interstate 75 South and I-10 East have been closed. It's backroads at this point... or turn you ass around.

Completely awesome Vet - Doing more than putting a yellow ribbon on the bumper.

Use "the Google" and look up Flatland... Rudy Rucker... and prepare to expand your perception of what is possible...

A look back



Parshley St.



The Woodsons, my awesome next door neighbors.
Well, this is thier house, but they're in there somewhere.



Some street shots along the way



The High School is waaaaaaay up there!



Almost there! (I see the green roof)



The front of the school is to the left...



...the rear is to the right.



3 from in front of the entrance... this is to the right.



Here's a little more to the left.



Waaaaay to the left (we sure have some big trees on campus!)



Directly in front of Suwannee High School.

More pics... these
are of the rental house.

Home Sweet (rented) Home!

Kitchen

Coach Bennett says he loves what I've done with the place.


Bedroom 1 of 3

Inventor of air mattress = genius!



The "Command Center!"




The stadium is just across the street... Handy for home games.



Home bleachers



The back of the scoreboard.



The visitor bleachers are back there somewhere.
I'm gonna charge $5 a car to park in the front yard...
since they'll park in it anyway.



View from the stadium back at the house.
Next... the walk to school.
