I almost didn't post this, but as some of you knew, we were expecting a new addition to the family.
That did come to pass, but not in a fashion I thought it would.
Mason Diego Abbott was born an angel on 8/15.
We love you son and miss you.

Google's Chrome
Initial runs with Google's Chrome browser have met with success.
In fact, I am posting this blog with the browser.
So far, everything works that you get with the basic Firefox (although DOJO browsers don't work).
I have not had a chance to peruse plug-ins, but I plan on it.
More on this to come.

Interesting people
I met a guy tonight named Silver Paradox Angel from Garden of Eden, NY!
Also, I hope it rains to fill my rain barrels! I installed them a week ago and it has not rained!

Teaser Post - more to come
I will be filling more posts with the following subjects:
1.) My project of a worm/composting bin - complete with pictures
2.) My project at an attempt some solar cookers (one will be from a bowl and the other a fish tank) - complete with pictures
3.) My attempt at a CHEAP LCD projector kit with links and pictures.
4.) My attempt at a CHEAP smart board (using project 3).
That should round me out to around middle of August when Little Man will be arriving!

Visit to NY - The place is GREEN GREEN GREEN!
Well, I recently went to upstate NY for about 4 days. I have to say as soon as I got off the plane in Albany and headed out to I-90 I noticed one thing, HOW GREEN IT WAS! It is probably more green there than in SWFL. I guess the plants are like, "Hurry up and grow. Store energy! The winter is coming soon!" Hehe.
Anyway, here are some shots I thought were good. Excuse the greyness in some. It was raining a little that day. These photos range from the Chatham, NY area down to Somers, NY / Danbury, CT (and some places in between). So that is like 4 counties in NY (Columbia, Dutchess, West Chester, and Putnam).
Things about NY that are different than SWFL that I miss from OH:
I think this is Route 100 heading to 22? It was a nice drive. I tried to get the lake/reservoir on the left in a picture. Sorry, it didn't work out that way.
Wild black berries in my cousin's back yard.
Queen Ann's lace (also cousin's backyard)
Nice, tall, mature trees. My cousin's property is surrounded by a forest of like 90 acres owned by a non-profit organization. Meaning NOBODY will build as long as that org owns it. Very nice, quiet, and secluded.
Ok, it is not a plant, but it is green. This is a newer Lotus that was parked at the East Fish Kill rest stop on I 84. I am going to ask my buddy that writes Car Test Ride to identify the year and model if he can. The owner was pretty cool. He said he wished the weather would break so he could take the top down.
All and all it was good trip. I got to see family and do some creative problem solving facilitation for work. Cannot beat that for an extended weekend trip.
Lastly, flying now is starting to get bad. You are being treated like cattle. I think I will start to consider taking trains.
Until we blog again!

Things about NY that are different than SWFL that I miss from OH:
- Trees with leaves that fall off
- Hills
- Curves
