Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

They found a Copperhead snake in our office building over the weekend, fairly close to my cubicle. I've been paranoid all day yesterday and this morning and am keeping my feet off the ground and out from under my desk and anywhere else I can't see as much as possible. Snakes freak me out.

This actually doesn't look to bad. Stigy, do you think you may pick one up for more BB development?

If BB10 is similar to the Playbook OS then I don't need to do any development at all except convert my Android app with BB's tool. I don't do Blackberry development and probably won't unless Titanium supports it (currently in Beta). If/when it has Titanium support I can just export my iOS project to Blackberry format and it should work.

Nah, tons of wildlife around where I work. Kind of like a wildlife preserve since there is no hunting allowed on the almost 1,000 acres the site owns. See tons of geese, deer, foxes, racoons, etc...

Ah I see. I cannot say the same for the plant the town next to me, lol. But I can see the good with lots of land :)

I used to be able to use GTalk through iGoogle, but now they have the GTalk protocol blocked totally so can't even do that workaround.

Oh well -- keeps me more productive.

Well, there's perks to working for a Hotel Management Firm...every two or three months, we have company wide parties where they serve beer, wine and martinis with gourmet appetizers and expensive cheese! lol
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I always seem to be tired. No matter what I do be it eating somewhat healthier, sleeping 8 hours, sleeping 4 hours, and some exercise. I was looking around on the internet and started finding a lot of info about juicing; nothing but fresh fruit and vegetables. I then found a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. To my surprise Amazon Instant Video had it to watch for free. It was really interesting. I would have to say that the "fat, sick and nearly dead" doesn't really pertain to me. Well, I think once we're born we are all nearly dead. LOL! I do, however, like the idea of detoxing the body. So. Hopefully my juicer arrives today and for the next 15 days I will be fasting. The only thing that will enter my body is fuit and vegetable, either raw or juiced and water. The guy that did movie did it for 60 days!

Hmmm, who knew. Usually don't even administer antivenom for a copperhead bite. Weak venom compared to other pit vipers and often strike with a dry bite as a warning before a venomous bite.

My mother-in-law was bitten by one when she was younger, with very light effect thankfully.

Also when I was ~8 years old, we were playing outside at my grandparents house, and discovered a nest of baby snakes, and were quite happy to play with them, letting them squirm through our fingers and such. Until of course my grandfather came over to see what we had found and realized we were playing with copperheads... Haha!

I am intrigued by snakes, they are such interesting creatures IMO.
 
Did you know the Southern US is home to at least 1 variation of each of the 4 types of venomous snakes native to North America?

Lucky you weren't bitten yourselves several times over. YIKES! Not intrigued by snakes at all. If they find another in our building while I'm here, I'm taking a sick day for my own mental health's sake. I'd go nuts.
