Wired: “Web Helps Out Adoption Process”
A very interesting article at Wired: Web Helps Out Adoption Process.
We Can Hear Them!
The cicadas have moved into our neighborhood. We can hear them. Spooky, they sound like a space ship landing.
Six more Applications
I just prepared six more applications against junk mailers, mostly local. It is quite annoying that all commercial mailers do not include a return mailing address. I do a google search, but some businesses can’t be found online. So I call the phone number given, and they don’t have any useful info on there, they …
