Never Knew This About Tumbleweed

Just have to share this video I found on the Miss Cellania Weblog.

  1. Wow, that was so cool. Who would have thought that tumbleweed would be such an interesting topic.

  2. Spring for tumbleweeds? First time I saw them was when they blew across the highway. It was a flood of them!

  3. There were Russian thistle tumbleweeds around my small prairie town in Manitoba when I was a kid growing up 50-60 years ago. But they somehow never reached epidemic proportions. You'd see one or two blowing around, but that was it.

    Yes, Russian thistles are all thorns and extremely prickly, EXCEPT right at the bottom where all the twigs meet -- there it is bare of thorns for about an inch or so. My brother and I would pick up a dry Russian thistle by that thornless junction and then fight each other with them like martial arts weapons! Ah, good times.

Understanding the Introvert

I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.
 

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .
