Bird of the week – Frigate Bird

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Related to pelicans, the frigatebird has a funny sac under his chin used to attract mates. Also unusual is the fact that they have such a large wingspan for their size that they aren’t able to take off from a flat surface. They don’t do much but fly and nest since they can’t swim or walk very well.

I just got this amazing and cute-able little laptop. It’s called the Asus Eee and it’s extremely useful and generally amazing. I got the 4GB version, but it’s available in slightly cheaper versions too.
Also notable is that this little guy runs Linux and can be talked into running free programs (mine runs The GIMP and Inkscape) with a bit of fiddling around. I’ll go into more detail on the specifics in a later post…

If you’re freelance, you’ll need this. I created this simple spreadsheet in Open Office (a free version of Microsoft Office) for keeping track of your expenses in an organized way. The IRS requires that you divide your costs into different categories and this worksheet makes it easy to track totals and enter them when it’s Tax Season again.

You should take a look at my dear friend Dina’s new blog, Tea, etc. It’s really interesting to see what she’s been up to making, finding, and photographing. The photos are just great!! Plus, Dina is a major hot-tea (get it?)

This week, I chose navy blue as a preppy starter, and added a minty color along with a punchy lime green. I love it!

I couldn’t believe the stuff I saw on Polly’s site; she’s a real artist! All of this is done in wire or paper or a combination of both. Pretty and smart!
