    • My Wife, the Genealogist — "When we bought our G5 PowerMac, I imagined that my wife would start designing websites and publishing a local newspaper. I fantasized about the money she would make from these new endeavors, thinking that I might even be able to retire early. Then she purchased the Reunion8 genealogy software and became hooked on tracing the lineages of our ancestors."  (Nerac Blog , written by scientists and engineers, focuses on scientific topics, often with a political spin)
