News - Interesting article about America's out-of-control deer herds:

Comment - Brandon, Dave and I will do our best on Friday to help reduce the
size of the mid-Michigan deer herd.
In this article, check out the photo on the right hand side. It shows a deer
in mid-collision with a compact car.
News - New Movielink service, launched on Monday, let's you purchase
Hollywood movies over the Internet and download them (if you have a high
speed link) to your computer:

Comment - Is anyone going to use this? The movies can be watched an
unlimited number of times within 24 hours, but you can only watch them on
your computer screen and it's only VHS quality. I suppose it might be a neat
way to get a movie onto your laptop to watch on a trip, but most laptops
have DVD players. Might as well rent or buy the DVD. Still, it's an
interesting experiment. Might be worth it to avoid going to Blockbuster.
News - Attention home schoolers! Down-to-Earth Astronomy has online
astronomy, science and math activities for K-12:

Comment - Follow the link to Planet Impact and you can pelt Jupiter with
comets.
