In the year 2000, I bought a homemade Cabbage Patch Mr. T doll from a new-ish site called eBay. Now, he sits as the bodyguard to the bedroom of my 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters.

Graphic designers’ keyboard is like a musical instrument
When working on a computer, and you are doing repetitive work like saving a bunch of files in a particular rhythm, do you sometimes feel like your keyboard is a sort of musical instrument?
I’m exporting and uploading a bunch of images. I have to go through the same movements to export each file, and then upload each file. It feels kinda like I’m making music on my keyboard.
Graphic designers might relate to this. Maybe there are other professions that do this too.

It's quite rare for the 17-year cicadas to come during an Olympic year
Let's look at all the recent cicada invasions in the Midwest, and see if the Olympics happened that year.
• 2024: Paris Games
• 2007: No
• 1990: No
• 1973: No
• 1956: Melbourne Games
• 1939: No
• 1922: No
• 1905: No
• 1888: Per rhythm, the Olympics would have happened this year. But the Olympics started in 1896. No Olympics.

When will the cicadas come out?
Cicadas emerge when the soil temperature is 65 degrees at 8 inches deep.
A handful of tools can tell you the current soil temperature and forecast the upcoming soil temperature.

This is a test. IFTTT puts the Flickr title, description, and URL into a caption field which is now hidden. You have to manually click on the image in Tumblr to see the Flickr title, description, and URL. So lame.
Tumblr needs to add a "description" field to the IFTTT action recipe, so the text can appear properly beneath the image. (the official IFTTT account on Reddit explains.)
