Yesterday, after 33 years, Bill Gate’s retired from Microsoft. Bill at the ripe old age of 52 is still going to be actively involved with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation is the richest philanthropy organization in the world.
So what do you think? Is it time for some new guns to take control? Are we going to miss his advancements?

Alright dad, I know you are addicted to Weather.com’s interactive weather map. Frankly, I like it as well. But I think I have something that you will be interested in.
With our recent nasty weather, I was trying to check a storm’s direction to see if I could get out golfing. I went to weather.com and then tried another weather site, called the weather underground. Really cool site with tons of information that other weather sites don’t have. What caught my eye was their interactive weather map, called the wundermap. A lot like weather.com’s interactive map. What makes their’s special is storm tracking. You just click a storm track checkbox and it will display direction arrows for major storm cells. Cool, cool stuff. Check it out if you need a diversion.

I have chosen quite a few plants this year that I haven’t grown before now. There is a list of all of the seeds that were planted this year under articles. As usual I planted quite a few tomatoes and peppers but not quite as many as in years past. In years past I have notated the full name of my seedlings on wooden craft sticks. Starting a couple of years ago, I realized that I needed to find a way to limit the time spent labeling plants. I chose to simply use a letter and number sequence for each major grouping of plants. The plant ids are truly random and have not carried from year to year. A pepper this year has a prefix of “O” but last year had a prefix of “P”. At any rate, here are the seeds planted.
My desire to document the progress of the garden always starts out strong and fades. So, the information in the planting list is partial at best. It is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby so I guess I shouldn’t worry about it.
