Added new Comment Spam filter
I know adding comments to this blog has been tough. I've added a new comment challenge called reCaptcha. It looks like this:
If the words are too difficult to read, hit the top refresh button on the three-stacked buttons to the right.
If you correctly get the two words, your comment will be published immediately. I'll have to see if the bad guys can get through.
Also, you're doing something productive:
...reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA.
So comment away and help in the process of digitizing the world's knowledge.
Update: I scrapped CAPTCHA and am now using the Disqus commenting system. Let's see how that works!

It's Great Sharing Austin!
It was great hosting Pat's triumphant return to Austin last weekend with a party and UT Football scrimmage and Suzy, Colleen and Megan this weekend on their whirlwind trip to see the Destination Imagination finals here in Austin (how's this for an extremely long run-on sentence!!!)
For those less fortunate souls not coming to visit in this Spring wildflower season, here's what you're missing from our front yard:
And of course, the fog over Lake Austin taken about a week ago is also a sight to see:
Happy Spring!
