Last Sunday, I shared the story of a mouse that ate my breakfast and readers provided a myriad of helpful tips on catching our rodent residents in comments, blogs, and over email. I did some research based on your suggestions and ordered The Smart House--yes, it's actually shaped like a little green house.
And would you know it, Gus moved right in:
He has subsequently relocated to a lovely park several miles away after I gave warning to stay away from cats. We both hope that Jaq will be joining him soon. Thanks to everyone for your help confronting our unwanted guests.
And with that, ScienceBlogs returns in full force since we went down for maintenance Friday...

What with the recent blogospheric developments, I thought it would be a great idea to reprint a post from a couple of years ago where I turned the tables on Bora and interviewed him about science blogging, science and ScienceOnline. The original post is from March 13, 2008. I'd also like to point…

As I'm transitioning away from an academic/personal life of long-distance commuting, I thought this would be a good time (or perhaps the last good time?) to share some of my tips for how to help one's marriage/partnership survive two academic careers in two cities.
Of course, I only have this last…
I'm glad to know that gus has a nice green home...outside.
Congratulations for encouraging someone else to buy The Smart House! ;)
Glad to read that Gus is 'free' in a miles away park.
Hope that Jaq soon joins him.
you shoulda also warned him to stay away from owls!! 8-/
Cute little critter.
Be sure to seal up your home inside and out so this doesn't become a regular thing. Mice can fit through surprising small holes so the house should end up pretty close to air tight. On the up side sealing the house against mice also helps keep ants and other insects out and lowers the energy bills. All to the good.
Just caught another... The Smart House gets The Intersection seal of approval!
