The title to this post is a serious question and not just rhetorical. Can we do serious work on a mobile device or are we doomed to trivia and tweets? Part of the answer depends, of course, on the definition of mobile device. To some extent, the answer...

The Salt River Valley seems to have a lot of plants imported from elsewhere. These bushes from Australia are a good example. Over the years, I have noticed that there is a definite shift in plant preferences. When I was young, Eucalyptus trees were all...

It has been a while since I reviewed the genealogical resources on the Brigham Young University (BYU) website. BYU Has one of the very few degree programs in genealogy in the United States. They always seem to have a number of projects going on with a...
Nothing transforms the desert quite as much as a bountiful carpet of Spring wildflowers. Normally, grey and brown, the ground is transformed into a display of yellow so bright and cheerful. If you were going to try to see this kind of flower show, you...
