I came across a couple of things on the DIY site Instructables that I thought some of you might enjoy. Self watering plant pots and vases made from old plastic bottles.

I used to make something like this (a terrarium instead of a pot) when I was a kid of out of old 2 liter soda bottles when they still had the plastic caps on the bottom of the bottles. Very cool stuff, a great way to keep recyclables out of the landfills, and useful for plant-lovers everywhere. Best of all, most of it won’t cost you anything as it’s mostly made from “trash”. Enjoy.

I’m finding it exceedingly hard to stay focused on anything aside from the upcoming move. That’s right, once again we’re packing up all of our crap and moving to another exotic locale. Hopefully it won’t suck as much as Monterey, but I’m not holding out hope.

At present I need to get the following done before we bail:

• Crank out BitArtist v1.1
• Get things squared away with my acting admins for WotG and Bomb Shelter
• Finish jumping through the hoops of Hawaii’s insane animal quarantine laws
• Figure out how to push back our move date about at least a month
• Get the house cleared of all useless/non-functional crap for the move
• Go back east to visit as many family and friends as we can before we move off to not see them for years again
• Fill out the damages paperwork from the last time we moved a year and a half ago
• and take care of about a million other smaller things

Why yes, I am a busy boy, thank you for noticing. I’ve been at a constant 6000RPM since we hit California and I’m ready for a vacation or a six week nap, whichever comes first.
