Microscope Era
Yesterday I was given perhaps my coolest Christmas present ever from my brother in law Rob Sylvain-- a stereo microscope. It is small, lit by LEDs, and is rechargeable and portable, so I can take it into the "field". It has magnifications of 10x or 30x, unless I change the eyepieces, but this is suitable for my purposes, mostly to look at 3d objects and textures in more detail. This morning I was messing around with it and I discovered that I can hold my little Fuji Finepix J10 camera up to the eyepiece and actually focus on the magnified image, and take fairly decent pictures. So I pulled out my box of oddities-insects that died in the car, bones I found in a friend's garden, seaweed pods, things lots of people like me have around, and I went at it.

Website Update
I made my website a bit better today. Here's what I did:
1)Changed the javascript so images can be scrolled without closing each one. Also I can add hyperlinks to the descriptions of the images, but I don't think I will. I have a new issue with tooltips/mouseovers showing up on the thumbnails, though.
2)Eliminated quotes.
3) Simplified my statement into two vague yet somehow accurate sentences.
4)Removed drawings that are irrelevant, and added new ones that aren't.
5)Updated News (there is nothing new, unfortunately)
6)Updated some details in my Bio
