Lately a lot has been going on and I’ve just been going it seems. A few photos from this past week including bike issues, coffee geeking out with Professor Duff, a few posters being printed, and a stop at the Hayward Field museum on a walk . . .

Our washer went belly-up this weekend, so we need something that can handle washing the guinea pig liners. We use ones from Guinea Dad which are decent, however they do get messy. Found this one at Lowe’s and thought about the marketing of it with the cute dog on the front. Now, if there were a guinea pig on the front – 🙂
So our water heater has been showing signs of failure lately: changing water temperatures, water not getting as warm as it used to, etc. I did some digging and found that (at least this brand) the serial number can be decoded to determine the age of the water heater. Who knew? Not me, anyways. The decoder was found on the website, complete with an example (which is always helpful for decoders): Here is the label that is on our heater, which puts ours as being manufactured in October of 2006 (which is kinda old, apparently – again, who knew?

What is a Photopolymer Letterpress Plate? | Hoban Cards: Photopolymer plates are a new school material in an old school world.
This was created by a friend of mine who is a Landscape Architecture professor here in the College of Design. Basically he took the published data for the dates and times of the sunrise and sunset and created a chart. It shows the dates and times of the earliest SUNSET, after which the light lasts a little bit longer each evening. Also on the chart is the time of the latest SUNRISE, afterwhich the sunrise will begin rising a little bit earlier as the planet makes its way around the sun. Great graphic of this phenomenon, in my opinion. 🙂
