As a luddite I continue to amaze myself with the fascination I have with the technology that is sucking my brain dry in so many ways. Um, I bought the new Apple Mighty Mouse today. The scroll nub (as I've dubbed it) is simply amazing -- so really much better than the wheels. And the invisible double (left/right) buttons work without a hitch, and the added button features (the nub can be used as a button, and there are two sidebuttons that when squeezed together act as anothe button). And, of course, you can assign all and any function to the buttons as if they were function keys.

In the comments of my last blog there is SPAM posted as a comment. I in no way endorse the stock promoted in said advertisement. I'm leaving it there until I hear from the good folks at blogger.com as to what the hell is going on...

I realize I haven't ranted on here for sometime. Forgive my rationality. It shant' last I'm sure.

Reef Builder. The attached photos below are of macro shots of coraline algae, a marine plant which builds a calcium "skeleton." This stuff--much coveted for the beauty it gives the rocks as it spreads--breaks like a dry cracker (normally cutting my hands before it breaks). It grows in hues of reds and purples from deep to pastel. The size of the first cluster which is layering quite gorgeously in the shade of a rock is no bigger than my thumnail. The other pic is a closeup of the piece you can see just up in the top left of the first pic.
It looks beautiful here growing on the rocks, but it is a PITA (pain in the ass) to keep it off the viewing sides of the glass, requiring a very sharp edge to scratch the glass clean of the stuff.
