Spring is here!
If you’ve got inconsistent Wood, you’ve got problems
A screen-grab of a Major League Baseball headline today: On purpose? Innocent mistake? You’ve gotta think they knew what they were doing with this headline.
Ant “farmers” and Hemipteran “cattle”
Ants and Aphids, originally uploaded by furryscaly. A neat photograph of some species of Citronella Ant (Acanthomyops sp.) “farming” Aphids or Mealybugs (both Hemipterans). The hemipteran insects feed on the roots of plants and exude a sugary substance called honeydew that the ants then feed on.
One of my photographs featured on BlogTO’s Flickr Forum

I love books, I’m curious about the natural world and I make collections. I’m lucky enough that I have a discount/used book store where I can usually stock […]
Origami Box: Finished Product
Origami Box: Finished Product, originally uploaded by Gavatron. This is what I do when I should be working on my comprehensives. Oh well, reading week is for, well, doing anything but reading. Browsing my RSS feeds (I guess that counts as reading, doesn’t it?) I noticed that Jason Kottke had posted about origami. In the […]
Spam killed the email star
Sad, but true: And the reason why this is an image is because spammers harvest email addresses from pages. Update your respective address books. Proof? I was labelling all the email from my gavan account in Gmail. Here’s a screen shot of my junk folder: See you later Norman Felbert, Paavo Sheilds, JayTonya Kerkoulova, Anthony […]
