Half Dome

I hiked Half Dome this weekend with Robbie, Romo, and Judy. It kicked my butt. I will post another picture with the four of us in it :).

Birthdays & Paintings



I finally got Mike's painting shipped from Utah (Thanks MOM, Star, and Mike!). It was very nicely packaged by UPS. I will post another photo when I have it up on my wall. I love the colors of the desert and the sky, it will look great over my desk.


My Birthday is coming right up (Oct 2nd). If anyone is looking for an easy gift, you could buy me something from my brand new Amazon Wishlist!

Lexicography - Erin McKean - Google

Here is a very interested video, YouTube - Erin McKean: Redefining the dictionary it is actually about lexicography and it is very interesting. Erin comes to some interesting suggestions in the end about building a better database of words from the web.



In response to this I made a little quick and dirty search that shows the search's # of hits on the various google search databases (google, video, images, scholar, etc). And it makes a little bar graph, I might add more later.

Try it out!
