Please remember to turn out the lights when you leave. Thanks.

Another Quickie...

I see by SiteMeter that two people actually looked at this blog last week, so I suppose I should put some content here again...

Ancient Greek Computer Found

Hey, I was on vacation last week. Of course, since I've only been doing one update a week for the past month or more, that hasn't been very noticable, but still....
