Heron again

It looks like herons appear in late October and early November here. Last year one appeared on November 1. Once again I saw a heron when I almost got home. I took my camera out from home and fortunately it's still there. So here are the pictures:...Read the whole topic read more..

GNOME power manager cannot turn off laptop screen backlight on lid close

Published on Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:15:19 -0700

[Northeastern US][D7] Tiring return flight

Published on Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:08:13 -0700

We went to the airport way too early for our flight. I was bored at the airport so I turned on my laptop to watch the movie "Crazy Stone" once more. "Are you insanely poor? You think US dollars just fall off the sky?" Bam...No free food on the flight. That I expected, so I had dinner at McDonald's. However, I didn't expect no free drinks. Even water cost $2. This is unacceptable. I will never take a US Airways flight anymore. This flight was too long. My mp3 player rolled back to the v read more..
