Google - $30m To Any Private Firm That Can Land A Rover On The Moon...

It has been many decades since we explored the Moon from the lunar surface, and it could be another 6 - 8 years before any government returns. Even then, it will be at a large expense, and probably with little public involvement.

When we were creating Google, the concept of a web search engine able to capture everything in the Internet seemed like an unimaginable goal and yet today many companies, Google among them, are able to do this.

How cool is that? I wonder who will step up to the challenge, and when it will happen...

You ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog...

Meet our new family member... Roxy!




Jilliane and I rescued Roxy from Animal Shelter, Inc., located in Sterling MA on Saturday. It was about a 1hr 45min drive, and it went by fast on the way there, but we hit traffic on the way back! Lucky for us Roxy has a very calm temperament, and slept the whole ride home.

As far as her breed goes we know she is part Hound Dog, but we are not sure which kind. Our friend April did a little research and discovered she looks a lot like an American Foxhound! So far she is a very nice puppy, and we are glad we were able to rescue her and provide a nice home.

Let the house training begin!
