Yardwork, Yoda (Gremlins), and Groogle, er Google

This weekend, I finished the annual task of trimming all the landscaping, ripping up the garden, and mowing the lawn for hopefully the last time. (We did have a bit of snow yesterday in case you were wondering.) Chilly work, and I'm glad I got it done, though the "inner savage guy" in me always wonders if there would have been some way to do it with fire.

What has MTV, Headline News, etc. done to our generation? I ask because I just noticed that I'm watching the World Series game, listening to a podcast, browsing the web, while working on this entry at the same time (all on my computer, no less).

• I found this next one by way of Make:; if you know me, you probably know that I am a Star Wars fan (uh, "Warsie"?), but I think crochetting Yoda ears for your baby is a bit much. Maybe I'm just bothered because they look more like something from Gremlins (not the car).

• Don't know if you're following, but here's an interesting article ("The Point of Google Print") about the Google Print project and lawsuit.
