Yet another hard day at work

Yup, Wednesday was a long day. Ya gotta love it when your job requires you to lead a group of teens on a caving trip. We're working with an area high school in developing their adventure education program. We met the group in western Wisconsin, then led them for a couple hours through Pop's Cave, a well-known cave in Richland Center that we use for our summer programs.

Shutdown Day

It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?

Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!

Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?

The childproofing has begun

Yup, Jen & I went a little crazy yesterday at Wal-Mart. Hopefully nobody got us this as a shower gift. We bought an oven door latch. It's a little like trying to open a bottle of aspirin with a childproof cap on it. Turn cap to align arrows, apply 4.8 pounds of pressure in an upward direction while humming "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in the key of C. And that's just the beginning. There's drawer guards, doorknob guards, toilet seat clips, etc. I only hope I can remember how everything opens.
