    Weboggle

    Annette has her Sodukos--but I've always been more of a words person and less of a numbers person. Thanks to Dianne, I've found my new addiction on the 'net--Weboggle. When I was a kid, my family would play word games such as Scrabble and Boggle all the time. Now there's an Internet version of Boggle where you play in real time and compare your scores to other Bogglers around the world. WARNING: It's very addicting (and somewhat humiliating when I compare my score to others)--try at your own risk!

    Willy No Mo

    The Reds traded away one of my favorite players, Willy Mo Pena, today. Normally I don't post news on my blog, but I wanted to post my clever headline before tomorrow's newspapers steal it.

    Widgets


    My job requires me to use both Windows and Macintosh computers. For the most part, Macs are a pain in the butt. However, I must admit that the folks at Apple occasionally do come up with a good idea. In their most recent operating system release (OS 10.4), they introduced "widgets". Widgets are small, useful programs that are easily accessed at any time with a simple click. A friend at work recently informed me that these widgets are also available for Windows--so I had to check it out. The screen capture above shows some of my favorites. In addition to the obvious ones (clock, calendar, system resources meter, weather), my favorites are the magic 8-ball (when I have a really important decision to make) and the iTunes companion, which displays the track information and album art for the song currently playing. I also downloaded a Soduko widgets to further feed Annette's addiction!

    Widgets are free and can be downloaded at widgets.yahoo.com.

    Take the red pill...


    Took this picture of Ben at his Upward Basketball awards night. It sort of reminded me of a scene from The Matrix.
