Ever since Amazon.com unveiled their system to recommend new items to the consumer, I've found some pretty good books and CD's that I might not otherwise have found. However, this is the first time I've ever had something like this recommended to me by Amazon's system. Now, leaving aside the whole issue of purchasing this type of item over the internet (which strikes me a bit weird to begin with) instead of making a trip to the local store, why does it base this on my rating of a Linksys router. I mean, if you stick with social norms and perceptions, wouldn't someone buying computer equipment be more likely to not have a need for them than someone that's buying, let's say, the Kama Sutra. I guess I just found it too amusing not to post about it.

I finally went to the Louisville Zoo for the first time this past weeekend. I've been in this town since August of 1996 and I've gone to several zoos in that time period, but not the one in town. What finally prompted this was Sarah and her desire to see the baby giraffe and tigers they had on display at the zoo. I have a few pictures from the day now posted in the gallery.
