Coyotes!

by scott on January 25, 2012

Above is a map representing reported coyote sightings on my home turf–Pinellas County, Florida.

1. Holy crap!

2. Apparently coyotes don’t care much for Madeira Beach, which is weird, because it’s the one beach where they’re cool about you having alcohol.

3. Props to that one guy for making it all the way down to Fort DeSoto Park.

Having spent a lot of time in Texas, I’m quite pro-coyote. And since no one else in Florida knows a damn thing about them, no one can stop me from becoming The Coyote Whisperer. And they will DO MY BIDDING.

LAWBI #36: Building A Better Mousetrap

January 19, 2012

When I saw the first one through the window on my way out to the garage, clambering gingerly over my ancient camo Chuck Taylors, I thought it was cute. I couldn’t tell if it was a mouse or a baby rat but, at that size and location, it really didn’t matter to me all that [...]

Grooveshark is Now Being Sued by All the Major Labels

January 6, 2012

Which online music streaming and/or discovery services do you use? I tend to play around with all of them, but I’ve found myself returning to Grooveshark fairly often, if only because it seems like there’s more obscure music, and fewer ads. (Plus, you don’t need to download anything–I’m looking at you, Spotify.) But it seems [...]
