Sad to compare with what wd had at the graduate student housing in Gainesville. If I win a lottery or something I'll donate one like this to the Tanglewood Village!

So, this is "wombat", yet another Australia-only oh-so-cute animal. No, this mate was not playing dead - just, must be, sunbathing. ^^; Also at the Cleland Wildlife Park, Adelaide.

Obamu v.
To triumph over obstacles by acting with unfounded optimism. Taking Barack Obama’s “Yes we can!” mantra as inspiration, this Japanese neologism has become a popular term of encouragement in tweets and blogs, often for friends suffering kobamu (rejection).

Just feel like I will need to use it someday soon..

Bonny, amazed looking at the color of liquid in flask changes as she blows, well, CO2. This lab, at the Smithonian Museum of American History, quickly became her new favorite spot in DC!

"Classics from yesterday - for kids of today!", or for grown-ups with those memories.. I think these were in my house too. But, well, Bonna seems not very impressed. Quickly passing over to the Dora section. :p

via lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov

Speaking of weather, NOAA NCDC's GSOD is probably the biggest/greatest archive of global daily weather data from stations worldwide - since 1929. However, well, it's not very user-friendly/diggable. Maybe it's intentional, but hope somebody please tell them which century we're living in.. Urgh, like, have you guys heard of this thing called API? :p

Weather data is moving down to the micro and personal level with better, more granular data, and the emergence of applications that can use weather data effectively. I Google my local weather on a daily basis, and objects like clock radios commonly that provide real-time weather forecasts. In a video on Deep Thunder, IBM research Lloyd Treinish explained it as: today we need super computers to deliver this type of prediction service, but someday this will be more widely available on a desktop and for individuals.

Then the question is, will this level of data ever available for really needy people, like smallholder farmers in Africa.. AGCommons?
