brain itches Theme by Adam Holwerda.
Nice try Google Android. Siri’s still got a leg up on ya. But I like your sense of humor!

In the past, I had been okay with the fact that when I asked my Android a question by voice, it didn’t speak back, however it understood me better than Siri seemed to understand my friends. It always presented an option of pages from a Google search.

There was an update 2 weeks ago. I haven’t used voice search in quite a while. This morning my daughter commented on an ad for ask.com. She said, “sure, if you search for an answer like ‘what’s the capitol of New York,’ it’ll give you the answer.” I offered I thought it was Syracuse. She countered with Buffalo. I decided I’d quickly use my voice search. I was surprised when my phone answered with it’s own, new voice, “The capitol of New York is Albany.”

So, I wondered if it would access my info, like Siri does, and if it would tell me my actual name, or “Big Daddy”. Instead, you offered help.

Rites of Spring

You know spring has arrived when the ants besiege your kitchen.

And you know the ants have besieged your kitchen when you look down into the bowl of cereal you’re eating and it looks like an ant Titanic must have sunk in there. Little carcasses floating around… Jaaaaack!!!

I wonder how many I ate?

Bulldozer destroys Mayan pyramid in Belize
AP: 

A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize’s largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday.
The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico.

The Brain by Olson Kundig Architects

The Brain is a 14,280 cubic-foot cinematic laboratory where the client, a filmmaker, can work out ideas. Physically, that neighborhood birthplace of invention, the garage, provides the conceptual model. The form is essentially a cast-in-place concrete box, intended to be a strong yet neutral background that provides complete flexibility to adapt the space at will. Inserted into the box along the north wall is a steel mezzanine. All interior structures are made using raw, hot-rolled steel sheets.
