The future of web content?
What does Apple's tablet announcement mean? It means that the next time you access this site will be through the iTunes app store; you will install it as an app for free, or perhaps as a one time $.99 download. Read Wired's Apple Event to Focus on Reinventing Content, Not Tablets to see the web in a new light.

Bird feed
A couple of short trips = new species and new photos. An overnight to Brisbane brought updates of 3 common Queenslanders, and a weekender to the NSW South Coast yeilded 3 new species, and a few new photos.

Insect aside
The cicada chorus has awoken; from approximately 10 minutes after sunset till 10 minutes past the end of civil twilight it's impossible to go outside without ear protection. They are loud enough to be heard while travelling on the back of a motorcycle at 120 kph—through a helmet!

The cuckoos are here! The cuckoos are here!
At least that's what the neighborhood birds are endlessly screeching. Australia's parasitic cuckoos are back; Common Koels can be heard throughout the area and today I saw the massive Channel-billed Cuckoo being harangued by Currawongs.

Bird feed: remote twitching part II
I always knew that my Tanzanian list was incomplete; it was more a list of photos of birds than birds themselves. Thanks to Mom's travel journal and some remote twitching, my list has grown by 11 birds.

Oh! The places you'll go
My photos from my post-Peace Corps Tanzania trip are finally up; they include photos from the East Usambara mountains, climbing Kilimanjaro, and safaris to Tarangire and Ngoronoro Crater national parks.
