Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information.” Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged.  Carr, Nicholas,  Is Google Making Us Stupid? The Atlantic, 10 June 2007.

My dogs were barking longer than usual at something.  From the window I could see they were all staring at something in the road.  It was a little red finch that looked stunned, like it had hit a car.  When I approached it fluttered a bit, but I picked it up and it calmed down.

Except for some rumpled feathers on its left wing, it seemed OK and not in pain.  I walked it over to the flower bed, but before I could place it under the wisteria, it fluttered down into hiding.

The dogs lined up against the fence and eyed the spot all afternoon.  By the next day, the finch was gone; hopefully under its own power and not due to the cat.

I’m getting tired of the current look of this blog.  It is intended to be a laboratory anyway, so I’m going to be messing with it over the next few days.  Apologies in advance to my 2 or 3 readers…

Rico 2.0’s Live Grid is perfect for a project I have coming up - learning how to implement it has been interesting.

Since there is no documentation, I’ve been taking the examples provided with the download and playing with them - so far I’ve been able to implement examples 3 and 8 with success - although I would like to add the filter feature of ex3 to the editing features of ex8 and am running into some barriers.

One nice thing about not having documentation (yup - there is a nice thing) - I’ve got a crash course in how Rico works and am learning it at a level I would never have learned it if I just had a 1 2 3 type of tutorial.

Of course, I also have the time for it right now - if I were in a crunch I’d be pulling my hair out at the roots.

I quit blogging in March, closed my feed reader and have not opened it until today.  What shows is just the posts I’ve missed in the past few weeks - thankfully, it won’t update the entire four months.

Being slightly OCD, I am compelled to at least glance at all the posts.  In reality, I’m going to have to do some wholesale dumping.
