As you know, every so often I like to mix up the SRS Challenge with something that's a bit more in-depth. (And if this is overwhelming, just take the week off--I'll be back next week with an easier one.) The Setup: If you read the news these days you'll see all kinds of claims about various kinds […]
- Answer: How big was the range of these animals?What's the original / natural range? The basic question from last week's Challenge was "What was the original or natural range of these three animals?" (Lion, Ground Sloth, Camel) It's a natural enough question, but the answers can be surprising. The Challenge was: If there were, once upon a time, lions and camels and ground sl […]
- SearchResearch Challenge (6/20/18): How big was the range of these animals?Going beyond avocados and onto animals! As you recall, one of important ways that avocado seeds were dispersed was through the gullet of large animals (like the gomphothere). Many of those animals are long gone--extinct.

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
