Any idea what this is? (click to enlarge)

They keep showing up at casa az and I’ve always wondered what the heck sort of bug they are. Very difficult to get a good close-up with my camera. It’s quite small, just over 1 cm in length. It flies and its jointed back-end reminds me of a wasp as when the bug is stationary it wiggles its back-end about and it looks as if it might have a stinger, though as far as I know I’ve never been stung by one.

Can anyone out there name that bug?

so fickle . . .

Remember when I was so obsessed about wanting this HP tablet? Well, I’ve changed my mind. During a trip to Fnac to visit my erstwhile heart’s desire this evening I ended up having another look at the same size Toshiba notebook and deciding that it was a better deal for the same price. It doesn’t have the cool swivel touchpad screen that’s on the HP model, but it has the same clear anti-glare screen as SB and much more. . .

  • Ultra-portable 2-kilo notebook PC with 13.3-inch TruBrite widescreen
  • 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 processor
  • 200 GB hard drive, 2 GB installed RAM (4 GB max)
  • multi-format/dual-layer DVD drive
  • Quad-band Wi-Fi LAN (802.11a/b/g/n), 10/100 Ethernet
  • Intel GMA 950 video card with up to 256 MB of shared memory
  • Connectivity: 3 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, 1 ExpressCard 34/54. 5-in-1 memory card reader
  • Pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium (with Media Center capabilities)

Meanwhile the same two problems exist . . . that I don’t have 1200€ and I don’t have any real need for an ultra-portable groovy cool notebook. 😕

You Are a Centaur


In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person.

However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways.

You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order.

You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily.

What Mythological Creature Are You?

Born August 24th

These are the first photos I’ve seen of her, looking all tiny and adorable.

And with a very impressive head of hair!

I hope it’s not too long before I get to see her in person.
