he / she ... why not 'it'?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 27 Aug 07

When I write, I try to refer to animals as 'he' or 'she'. When I don't know the gender of the animal, I have to use 'it'. Instead of saying, "A horse is happy when he/she is..." I could say, "A horse is happy when it...

Are you good at tests? I don't quite know how, but I am.

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 14 Jul 07

So, I'm taking this class in college, and it's time for a test. I take the test, despite never having read the material, and never having heard the teacher talk about anything on it. While taking the test, most of the questions...

Beware the evil caterpillar!

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 9 Jul 07

I took this photo while taking a long walk the day before yesterday. I've never seen so evil-looking a bug, and the picture turned out quite well, so I post it here.

How many people would use Internet Explorer if it wasn't included with Windows?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 12 Jun 07

Internet explorer seems to me to be THE worst browser on the market, so why do people continue to use it? Because its included with windows. If, on the first time windows connects to the internet you were prompted to choose what...

Do you put a lot of effort into your profile page? Why/Why not?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 5 Jun 07

I just thought it would be natural to put lots of effort into my profile page (the html part is still under construction), but I notice that most people here have put little or no effort into modifying their profile pages. Is...

So the people here want to go around the world? What are your reasons?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 31 May 07

My reasons for wanting to go round the world are to see, interact with, and really KNOW different places, cultures, peoples, and countries. You don't get that kind of experience in tourist spots, or by zooming past them in a car...

Any helpful tips for a novice photographer?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 31 May 07

I've decided to make a hobby out of photography. Since I'm just getting started, does anybody have any tips on how to make a great photo? No tips on what kind of camera to use, thank you. I already have a good (enough) one, and...

Wow! There's somebody else here who wants to walk around the world!

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 31 May 07

I'm amazed to find somebody else who wants to walk around the world! We're a rare breed. How are you planning to do it? What route will you take? Will you bring a pack animal, and if so, what kind? What languages do you think...

I was surprised to see four PCC students here; are any of you current students? If so, what subjects/degrees? Personally, I just finished with Information Systems analysis, and I'm going for network engineering with linux...

I finally got my jeep stuck!

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 26 May 07

I've been trying to get my jeep stuck for a while now, and finally succeeded. The fact that it had been dry lately helped somehow. I had been through this same spot many times before, when there's more water. I almost lost a shoe...
