My number’s finally come up – I’ve been summoned to appear at the Mercer County Court House to serve as a Petit Juror.

Thank you for the kind card Richard & Diedre!
Honda Cog
I just can’t get over how amazing Honda’s “cog” commercial has been. It’s got to be one of the most linked to sites around, 2 minutes of pure analog fun. I read this took 600 takes to get it right.
Branch down
Just yesterday had a 20′ branch come down off a tree in our front yard. We’re lucky no one got hurt or anything was damaged. Turns out the inside of the branch was eaten away by carpenter ants – insect guys coming over to check out our house and tree but I’m now worried that […]
Cruise Missile
Amazing what folks can build in their garage these days. A fellow in New Zealand built a cruise missile which is certainly interesting but not really useful unless you have a serious grudge. I prefer the 100 lbs thrust pulse jet which has links to instructions on how to attachit to your go kart.

Easter
Easter at the Murtlands. Young Harriet and Julia look on like two Victorian matrons while Tyler compares his harvest. Easter Photos
The Perfect Gift
I know exactly what to get Tyler for his next birthday . . .
