The Love Doctor is in

Rachel got interviewed for a very timely article in the Syracuse newspaper!

Check out her sage advice.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I still love you Darwin

I read these two NYT articles on Darwin: one has a positive tone and the other's a little bit negative. If we're picking sides, I'm more with the former. The main feeling I get from the latter essay is sour grapes. It's like the author is frustrated that he wasn't around back then to think of such a "simple" idea himself.

Oh, the Squirrellity!

While trapping squirrels for behavioral research purposes in California, I was asked more than once by the locals, "Are you going to eat that?". Little did I know that these men in their pick-up trucks were merely Brits on vacation.

Save a Red! Eat a Grey!

Fun with Lilo

Just Call Me Dr. Picasso

"Scribble" is an iPhone app that allows you to doodle. I am very proud of this drawing which took me about 20 seconds to make:

You can also doodle on pictures in your photo gallery. Here is what Milo would look like with some fancy facial hair, a top hat and spectacles.

Christmas is Coming!

Now we can add "Christmas" to the list of things that make Lilo tired, along with:

- Walks

- Running on the stairs

- Getting lost while chasing a deer

- Clowns

Emailing Texts Saves Money

I don't have a text plan because I don't really text people. But I do send emails. And now I might "text" people.

I sort of knew about this already but never bothered to do anything about it, but now Rachel has a text plan. If you email phone_number@carrier_info, it will show up as a text on that person's phone. If they reply to that, it will show up as an email on your phone or computer. So I can "text" without paying for a text plan, as long as I know the person's carrier and what needs to come after the @.

One downside is that in order to receive free "texts", the sender must consciously text to your email address instead of your phone number. So all you texters out there, add my gmail address to my contact info in your phone and send any messages to that.
