Happy Mother's Day!
And since Mom's love flowers, here are some virtual one's of the pictures I've taken over the last year of flowers around our house for my Mom. And maybe I'll retain the second page ranking of my now semi-famous flower picture on Google's image search when you search for "flower".

I've been cooking up a storm lately in an effort to brush up on my skills before I go off for the summer. I don't want to have to eat fast food for every meal (never thought I'd ever say that) and I enjoy cooking, just not so much the cleanup part. The best part is you get to change the recipe to how you like it, either adding or subtracting ingredients at whim. After starting with some awesome Hamburger Helper and a peanut butter sandwhich, cause I mean you have to start out slow, I made some extremelly yummy chicken paramsan that my family loved, and then some chili hamburgers, shrimp (though just in the baking sheet kind), breakfast (sausage, eggs, muffins), and I still need to cook a roast eventually. Cooking is pretty easy, it's just a matter of taking the time to do it.
Space.com has an interesting piece about being emotionally attached to machines as in the case of the Mars rovers. Which is understandable as it's their entire lives for years, and even just working on Sbob for a semester you get used to the naunces of a particular robot. It also raises the question of what happens when computers get "personalities" and then crash, will it be like a death in the family? I wonder if there was an episode in the Jetsons about Rosie dying.
If anyone wants to get me an early birthday present, a marble rollercoaster desk thingy would work quite well :) Once again ThinkGeek has the coolest stuff.
And speaking of early birthday presents, I had a very very cool one yesterday when my friends threw me a surprise dinner to celebrate my birthday (which isn't until June 3rd). But being I'll be in Alabama then, they wanted to all get together before I left to celebrate it early. So I got to see a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in far too long, and eat some really yummy Mexican food.
