Lot's of fun this morning playing around with JpGraph. A wicked cool PHP graph class library for creating everything from simple line & block graphs, to Gantt charts, spider graphs, and many others. Here's an image gallery chock full of examples. Documentation is good as are the examples (combining image and source).

With all of the elaborate example graphs I almost feel silly using it to plot a few specific gravity readings for a wine I'm making.



frisbee tension

This is Zeke poised to blast after a frisbee. Not sure on the foot up thing but he does it whenever he's intense like this.

Hey, can I borrow Zeke for a day or two. I've got a dog who just can't grasp the whole ball / frisbee / stick thing, and needs a good retriever to show her the way. :)

Can your dog learn by osmosis? Zeke doesn't have much patience with other dogs, especially when vying for valuable frisbee time.

Let's see, we're driving out to Wyoming in June...what, it's only a couple thousand miles more to Anchorage?

Maybe we could send your dog a video instead?

The original food processor



It's hard to even think about next winter already, but by that time we might be donning new Phase Change jackets. Sounds like something out of a Marvel comic.

We have some hand warmers which work off a similar phase change using sodium acetate, but they need to be boiled to reset. Sounds like the jackets have a narrow operating range and don't need the little metal clicker to free the heat. Or maybe you get a couple of Cricket Clickers with the jacket?

Making your own handwarmer.
