Spotted these in Rock Creek Park. I guess this means they’re edible?

Strange fruit
I spent some time in the yard with the 50/4 macro lens the last couple of days. When these plants popped up this spring they looked like sunflower plants, but now not anymore – they’ve got huge leaves and these weird fruit things. I’m a little afraid of what they’re going to do next…

Blue meter
When we go to the Whole Foods across from the White Flint Mall we always park on the street because the garage is such a circus.

Birthdaze 0.5.2
I got an email suggestion to add a way to highlight a birthday if it’s today. It turned out to be pretty easy – this minor update adds a span tag with a class “bdaytoday” or “nobdaytoday” to each birthday in a list. So, adding this would make today’s birthday(s) red:
.bdaytoday {
color: #f00;
}

No sound with RealTek ALC892
Every now and then my computer’s sound dies and my speakers only produce pops and clicks. I have a Biostar TA880GB+ motherboard with a RealTek ALC892 sound chip. I assumed the fault was with the driver and went on a quest to reinstall all of the audio-related stuff in my Fedora 15 install. Sadly, after much driver reinstalling and audio reconfiguring the speakers were still only emitting pops and clicks. I finally tried powering down the computer (who ever does that?) and now it works. I had rebooted several times – for some reason the system needed to be powered down completely.
