Just what this world needs is another search engine is what you’re probably thinking, right?  I’m here to tell you… RIGHT.  WolframAlpha isn’t your typical search engine.  In fact calling it a search engine is a complete injustice and a misnomer.

WolframAlpha according to their website is a computational knowledge enginge.  So what does this mean to you?  If you have any question regarding numbers in any way, shape or form, you have to check out WolframAlpha.  And it’s not just pure math.  It’s historical numerical data, it’s geographical data.  It’s word patterns.  It’s just about anything you could want to know and more.

The nice thing about WolframAlpha is, it isn’t in competition with Google or any other search engine.  And it’s creator even says so.  That isn’t the point.  The point is to provide a searchable engine to help where the other search engines leave off.  So if you need homework help for your kids in Algebra, Trigonometry, Physics, Geography, History, etc.  where numbers or dates are important, WolframAlpha may be the place to go.

And since WolframAlpha is such a new concept in searchable engines, they’ve provided a video on how to use WolframAlpha.  Check it out.

Kath passed her final semester in the RN program.  Congratulations sweetie.  I love you.

She’s worked so hard over the past three years.  Even on vacations, she studied.  And it’s been rough, but she did it.  Next week, she has her pinning and graduation ceremonies.  And sometime in June, she sits for the NCLEX-RN.

She is one amazing woman.

What is it about the sound of rain ?  Right now I’m in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm with the rain just pouring down.   And I find it so calming.  If it wasn’t lightning I would probably go for a walk, it’s warm enough.  And intermittently the thunder and lightning subsides and the rain becomes lighter, playing a tip-tap rhythm on my roof.  It’s just peaceful and calming.

During rains like this I can remember sitting on my grandparents’ porch at the farmhouse and watching summer storms with them on a warm summers evening.  I wish I could still do that.  Unfortunately my grandfather passed away a few years back, and my grandmother (according to the doctor) is in her last stage of this life.  I got this news last week.  But overall I’m not really shocked or surprised by it.  She’s lived a long life, she’s lived a good life.  She’s impacted a lot of people’s lives for the good, she was and is a great grandmother, and I will miss her.  But I know right now physically she is in a lot of pain.  I pray for her peace and comfort above all else.  I wish she could hear this rain storm with me right now, she would enjoy it, because we enjoyed a few rain storms together when I was growing up.

Grandma, I love you.  I don’t say it often enough.
