Really, Really Serious This Time.

Ok ok ok, I swear on my life and everything I own...I WILL RETURN TO BLOGGING.

Why?

Well, because I finally capitulated and bought a laptop cable.

...

Yes, you may be a little confused. The reason that I have not blogged often in the past 9 months is that I lost my laptop cable and I REFUSED to buy a new one on principle. The new cable was $70--and I wanted to learn my lesson. I lose things too often and then just buy them again. BUT NOT THIS TIME! This time I would learn. No more internet, no more computer--nothing!--because I left my laptop cable in Minnesota.

Well, today that changed. I think 9 months of traveling to the library and perpetual disconnect from Facebook is enough punishment to bring me back to the technology reality. So here I am! Back to blogging. Yay. :-)

Moose!

Face it--you wish you were Moose. I know you do. Any sane person would immediately trade places with a moose. Why do I say so? Well, because they are just the coolest animal ever. (And if you don't agree then shut up! You're wrong, I'm right, end of story! :-P )

So if you've ever been curious about where Moose live throughout the country, here is a nifty GIS application called "GAP Analysis" that lays out precisely where all the moose have been hiding. Unfortunately, the ONE state that I'm obsessed with does not have information here. No fair! They have fricking Wyoming but not Minnesota. Boo! (Especially since tons of Moose are in Minnesota).

The same GAP Analysis has plenty more information from this link here. You basically can retrieve any type of geographic information pertaining to a state--unless it's Minnesota. (Again, boo you guys!) Unfortunately since Ohio is such a lame state there is very little information. Sorry, not my fault guys.

Lit-tra-lly

It bugs me to *pieces* when people use the word literally when they don't actually mean literally. Example? "Buildings were literally exploding downtown!"

No, buildings were not literally exploding downtown, they were figuratively exploding. I know it doesn't have the same sound, but I'm sorry, your news report is inaccurate. No buildings in Columbus have been bombed (thus far).
