Rest in Peace Demonoid

I wanted to give a quick shout out to Demonoid.com that was shut down this week. This site was like a Google of safe bittorrents for folks who wanted to sample music, movies, or software before they purchased them. It didn't have links to any porn sites or anything illegal and most of it's links were safe from viruses. 

Sadly, it was threatened with lawsuits and shuttered. Goodbye demonoid. I'm sure someone will pick up your slack, hopefully without the porn banners.

TRAPPED!

I don't ever remember this happening in California, maybe because I usually lived in apartments. But in Kansas City, when winter comes, mice start seeking food and shelter in your house. When we got our first mice a couple years ago, I looked into mouse traps and asked around. Most mouse traps are pretty awful things. Lots of people have stories of finding half-alive squealing mice with their faces glued to the glue trap. Then you have to throw it away and/or kill it. Sad!

So first I tried to build my own live trap. That did not work.

Then I found a live trap for sale online. It works perfectly! You open the door, put some food in, they walk in, it shuts (usually). So I whole-heartedly endorse live traps for mice. Here's a picture of the little guy I caught last night.


Then you just take them to a park, open the door, and off they run! Although I admit one time I didn't check the trap for a few days, and a mouse had been in the trap long enough that he died :-(
