Dave — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:06:52 +0000

Many users do not understand how they are able to connect to the Internet, and just where all of that information is. Let’s discuss first, what is the Internet? The Internet is a vast array of computers, some huge, some small, many midsize, and all in between. All of these computers house some sort of data, and host applications for others to use. Those computers are connected to a backbone network, provided by what’s called an ISP, or Internet Service Provider.

Some of our most wonderful memories are sailing in this RL24 off the coast of Queensland, around Bribie island and through Deception Bay and on up the coast. We had three young children on board to spend our annual holidays exploring the beautiful Queensland Coast.

So You Think You Know U.S. Geography? by Daisy Mariposa

Dave — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:07:20 +0000

My quiz about the United States Civil War So You Think You’re a Civil War Expert? was well-received. Many people commented that they had fun taking the quiz…and learned something new at the same time.

I hope the same holds true for this quiz about United States geography. Some questions will be easy for most people to answer. Some will be difficult since they’re based upon more obscure facts.
