As a side-effect, I haven't been able to get a good connection for a long enough period of time to actually do the online research needed to get answers to last week's Challenge. A drone's eye view of the harbor at Huahine. Note the fringing reef and […]
- SearchResearch Challenge (7/7/2019): A couple of questions about Polynesia! (Why so long? What are those clear patches?) I managed to find wifi! As I mentioned last week, I'm touring through French Polynesia for the next two weeks. It's kind of a long way to go, but it's completely worth it. Lots of long stretches as we sail from one island to the next. Many of these are coral atolls, and look a bit like this as we sail by. They're all low-slung, just b […]
- Answer (Part 2): What DO we know about history, math, and geography? Last time we talked about history... Now, let's talk about math and geography and how much people know about each.

Search Engines (#15)
Actually, I don’t like using Google because I find the conceit of the developers insufferable, and I hate that they offer stock — how can you possibly own stock in a company that doesn’t have a product? It’s stupid. I … Continue reading

Podcasting (#14)
Personal Interest: Okay, I was one of the silly ones who thought that you needed an ipod to listen to podcasts. I am thankful that I’ve been set straight, and I love Podcast Alley. It’s great that you can serach … Continue reading

Fake Magazine Cover
So I didn’t do the monopoly card, because I couldn’t come up with a witty short statement. The fake magazine cover did seem like fun, though. Then I went to the site to do the fake magazine cover, and kept … Continue reading

OverDrive
The first thing I noticed was that the size is listed in KB, not megabytes (and I imagine books will never be less than 1 megabyte); this caused quite an issue with a service provider. I missed a decimal, and … Continue reading

Delicious (and no, I won’t use the name’s periods, because they’re not logical)
