better video of triops
So you could not see the Triops real well, I moved the iSight and that seemed to have worked. Check them out!
New bike!
I broke down and purchased a single speed bike. I needed something I could ride to work on and leave outside locked up with out fear of it being stolen. My road bike and mountain bike have quick-release everything, so you could take apart almost the whole bike with out a single tool. I went with a Redline monocog. It is a no-frills single speed tank. This has a durable full Chromoly frame. Indianapolis is flat as flat can be. I don't need more than one speed. This will mean less headaches, less maintenance, and worry free riding. I rode it to work today!
Triops Day 4
Hello everyone! The triops have hatched!!! They are real hard to see, but look for the little white specs moving around. I fed them for the first time today.

Triops day three
It is day three, and I am suppose to see some hatched eggs, nothing yet. The water is 76 right now. It should be between 74 and 84. I might have to work Saturday :( so I'll check in on the Sea Creatures.

Triops, day two video
Have you heard of Triops? The order Notostraca (colloquially referred to as notostracans, called Triops, tadpole shrimp or shield shrimp) are small crustaceans in the class Branchiopoda. Triops have two internal compound eyes and one naupliar eye in-between, a flattened carapace covering its head and leg-bearing segments of the body. The order contains a single family, with only two extant genera. Their external morphology has apparently not changed since the Triassic appearance of Triops cancriformis around 220 million years ago. Triops cancriformis may therefore be the "oldest living animal species on earth" [1]
I thought I would try to keep some Triops in my cube and let you watch as the grow. I'm on day 2 and I just added the eggs, when you watch the video, you can see me point out the eggs. They should be hatched by tomorrow! Stay tuned for updates!
You can purchase the Triops Deluxe Kit from ThinkGeek.
