Live from Austin!

It’s Friday, so I decided to walk to Baby Greens to get lunch, as I often do at the end of the week. As I walked, I kept an eye out for fallen pecans to take home and leave out for our squirrels.

I saw one at the end of the street, and picked it up. As I did so, I heard a noise. I looked up, and a squirrel was sitting in the pecan tree, barking at me for stealing his nut. I tossed it back on the ground. He stopped and stared at me. I apologized and walked on.

Scientists have developed a white mouse that changes to brown when fed a harmless dietary supplement, then changes back to white again.

Could this be the next trend after LCDs and e-ink? The Mouse Display! Granted, at one rodent per pixel that’s an awful lot of mice, and the refresh rate is going to be pretty poor, but wouldn’t it be worth it to have a computer screen with fur you could pet?
