Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

and it'll be off to Betsy!

Re color being in the eye of the beholder: definitely. That's indeed the point...that I think the road to our color-perception began in the sea, at depth, very, very early. That it was somewhat accidental---caused by thin-skinned creatures who have hemoglobin, the red...

I just got to thinking---I love watching The Universe, How the Earth Was Made, etc...and I remember arguing with Don Wollheim about the origin of flowers and colors (two separate debates, actually.) Today I'm thinking about color, and the tendency of many biologists...

Zojirushi. http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-ZCC10-Cooker-Warmer-Premium/dp/B00007J5U7/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1334447880&sr=1-1 This never fails. Brown rice, sweet rice, white rice, mixed rice, sticky rice---perfect. You can cook a week's...

I don't do this when I'm traveling, but at home, with access to meds, just occasionally... Recipe: Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste packet, Taste of Thai light Coconut Milk... 5 robust red potatoes. Pkg chicken strips, frozen is ok. Olive oil in pan, low heat,  lidded...

This one owes us nothing, but it's the desktop catchall in the net---we built this one from scratch, as I recall, and it's got multiple disks and a lot of really outmoded software. It runs Win7 but it's far from fast...and Jane and I took the day to try to figure the...

Startup is always a pita, and more so than usual this odd year, with cold weather---and my local store deciding to stock chlorine remover instead of a remover for both chlorine and chloramine, my feed store people complete clueless as to what chloramine is, or does,...

..changes in the software, a computer crash, a new computer, and more changes in the software...and issues right now plaguing everybody who works with e-books, have kept Jane busy through tonight just trying to format Chernevog so that it looks right in ALL displays....

Remarkable how you can write underwater and with the sound of fans loud enough to homogenize your brain. OTOH, the koi all came out today, the house temp reached 74 degrees, hence finally necessitating the ac, because we cannot function or sleep at 75 and we daren't...

Hadda get the tax stuff organized. And something's bloomed that has my name and Jane's on it. We're dumber than dirt and can't wake up. Being indoors with the air filters going full tilt while taking Theraflu night and day versions seems to be the only way to cope,...

or...CJ installs the uv lights. These are two delicate, spendy glass wands with a VERY delicate fixture at the top, heavy cord, and two very heavy ballasts. They fit into the skimmer to kill algae spores. I go out there with 2 boxes (the lights) ---and a Y connector...
