    Who has jumped to windows 8?

    Re: Who has jumped to windows 8? "Charm bar?" Say it ain't so!!! Apparently cutsie-poo is the wave of the future. Great. Oh well, I suppose I'll be dragged kicking and screaming into the future at some point. Being an old dog, I don't especially care for new tricks when the old ones are...

    Hummingbird migration

    They're on the move! The last 3 days or so have seen a big influx of Ruby throats around my feeder. I say "around" because they spend more time fighting with each other than actually eating.

    Interesting IE8 feature (quirk?)

    called Compatibility View, intended to improve the look of websites designed for older browsers. I found out that if you click that (inadvertently in my case) while in iboats, you will be treated to the display problems experienced by IE7 users. Took me a while to figure that one out.

    Trick for clearing baitcaster backlash

    I found this in in related videos while checking out jigngrub's Japanese secret weapon and didn't want to hijack. Also thought it deserved its own thread. I've never heard of this technique before and I can't wait to try it. Of course, I'm so good I never get backlashes so I'll have to do one...

    Signs the Apocalypse is nigh

    or at least a sign that I'm getting old fast. Went in to get a fishing license today and after punching in the code from the old license the kid says, "Would you like to buy a lifetime license?" In Iowa you can get a lifetime license for 52 bucks if you're over 65. I was 65 on March 19. I...
