Hummingbird Moth

I was finishing up with some yard work when I heard a buzzing noise near me. I looked around and this is what I saw. At first I thought is was a hummingbird but I also thought it was a little odd to see a hummingbird this late in the day.

As I went to grab my camera and started taking a few shots, it became apparent that this wasn’t a hummingbird. A little research online helped me identify it as a hummingbird moth. This is the first time I have seen one and it was interesting to see it move like a hummingbird. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.

New Search Feature

I added a new search feature to the site. Go HERE to test it out.

If you hover over the name of the site, then you will get a nice layout of all of the other sites that you can search from as well. I also added this site as an option to search from which works very well. Overall, I am pretty happy with it, but I am looking to get it integrated into a page so that it falls into the theme of the site. I think I may have to just hack up the template itself to do that though.

I hope you like it. If not, or if you have any suggestions, please send me an email which is located in the About Me link from the top menu.

Site Update

Well, I decided to update my site a little. All the posts are still there, but I changed the theme and added more “structure”. So now this looks like a normal WordPress site. I felt it needed some sprucing up.

Something also new is that I have links to my Flickr site and Youtube site which are located in the top menu above. I really didn’t want to create my own galleries here since those sites offer better navigation and quicker servers.

Something else new that I hope to keep up with, is that I will start writing longer posts just like this one. I don’t know how many people would really read them, but my hope is that someone would find some value in them. If anything, I will feel that I really use this site which would hopefully justify me paying my hosting provider to keep this site up.

If anyone has any requests or suggestions please visit my other new item “About Me” and send me an email about it. Thanks.

Sources: Splitter, Spurs agree to terms | 48 Minutes of Hell

Via Ticket 760:

Ticket 760 has learned that the San Antonio Spurs have reached a contract agreement with Tiago Splitter. He is expected to sign the deal on Monday. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Well, it was about time this whole draft-and-stash strategy bore some fruit. As details emerge, we’ll continue to update you. We’ll also be along soon with further analysis on how Splitter’s long-awaited arrival affects the team’s ceiling next season.

Congratulations, Spurs fans. Despite having little-to-no financial flexibility, R.C. Buford and Co. were still able to acquire an impact player. Between Splitter and James Anderson, I think that this offseason, given expectations, has been a success.

Tiago and Duncan is much better than Shaq and Duncan.
