Lily Bloom
June 15th, 2008
One of my lilies has finally opened. I think she’s a tiger lily, except that the dark markings on the inside are not spotty, so I’m not sure on that one. She’s pretty, though. Click the photo to see more images.

Commenting, now made easier!
June 14th, 2008
I used to require registration in order to post comments on my blog without having to deal with spam. I have officially done away with that, and installed the Wordpress plugin for reCaptcha. Now you simply fill out the comment form, complete the captcha, click “Submit”, et voila! you’ve submitted a comment! Try it out here!
Psst! If you can’t read the text presented by reCaptcha, there’s a refresh button you can click to get a different set of texts.

Genius at Work…
June 14th, 2008
It just occurred to me…
If I use one of these Compact Flash / SD Adapters, and a MicroSD to SD adapter, I can use the MicroSD card from my Blackberry Pearl to take pictures using my Canon DSLR camera, and then upload them to Flickr using the Blackberry. That would be a heck of a lot of file transfer, though. Good thing I have an unlimited data plan…

The below linked story is just one example of the unseen dangers of confined spaces.
Gas leak kills 3 workers at Port Everglades - 05/21/2008 - MiamiHerald.com
It is possible that the folks at Dirty Jobs do test for such hazards, and just don’t include the testing in the aired shows, but it would make me worry less if they showed the testing (or at least let us know that they did).
And for Pete’s sake Mike, wear safety glasses more often!

May ‘08 Annapolis Chantey Sing
May 21st, 2008
My usual dinner buddies can’t make it tonight. I’m going to reserve a table for myself, but that table currently has 3 empty chairs. Anybody want to co-reserve? I was going to reserve for 7:45pm so I can get seated and started before the action starts. Email to jacqueline at cordelya dot net, if you please.

Weeds in My Garden!
May 10th, 2008
Since I didn’t live on site at my house last year, my garden went to the dogs weeds. I started cleaning it up today, but I was wondering about the identity of many of the uninvited residents. So, I went around and took a whole bunch of pictures of the various plants, and posted them to Flickr.
If you’ve been fighting the war against weeds for a while (or not) and you know the names of common mid-atlantic weeds, would you kindly take a look at the photos and see if you can identify any of my weeds?
