Feel like I have been saying goodbye to a good part of my childhood/young adulthood lately. RIP – John Hughes.
Happy 3rd Birthday to Techy-Feely!!
In some ways it seems like a much longer time has passed since I blogged for the first time here at my own little corner o’ the Intarwebs! And, in other ways, I still feel like I am just figuring stuff out. I certainly am on other parts of the web. But, I clearly recall…

Do you hug your technology?
Driving home yesterday, I heard a story on NPR about the last mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. This mission is the last repair mission (and the first one in seven year, it seems) and the story told a bit about the repairs and how it will help the mighty instrument be even more “mightier”….
