Quieter house

Left Hannah with one of the other WHLR volunteers last night to be taken to her vet appointment where she’ll get a a thorough checkup and spay operation. Not sure the dogs really noticed or thought much of her absence but the house was definitely quieter without the three dogs running around. She’ll be back in a few days after her initial recovery for more training and pampering.

Rollermouse Pro from Contour Design
Played with one at the SIIM meeting last year and thought it was very cool. I wonder if it works with Linux. A little on the pricey side though and I don’t think it would fit my Logitech Wave keyboard.

Hannah on Petfinder

Hannah’s profile has been posted to Petfinder, so she’s out there for everybody to check out. Hopefully someone will be interested in her and she’ll find a forever home soon. Maybe that could be you!
She really is a great dog and will make a wonderful pet for someone.

Sailing Physics

Finally got around to reading through the February issue of Physics Today. There was an article on the physics of sailing that was an interesting read. Lots of interesting physics involved in sailing and designing sailboats that I’m sure most sailors probably don’t think much about. It never really occurred to me, but a sail is basically a large wing and operates the same way to move a boat through water.

If you’re into sailing, it’s definitely worth checking out.
