It’s been about a month since I debuted the ‘New’ Keacher.com, and in celebration, I’ve decided to post my resume. If you’re looking to hire a bright, computer-guru Electrical Engineering student, I’m your best choice. I will make a valuable addition to you company’s team.

Nature seems to have found its way into my room at the Fraternity House. A small black bird somehow appeared in the room while I was in class. Apparently, Minufo is deathly afraid of birds, and was rolled in a little ball panicking while Dave shooed the feathered beast outside. That happened Monday. Today, I came back from class, opened my door, and was greeted by a black avis [see below] darting over the couch. I was able to snap a photo before it darted away. If you can identify it, I would be greatly appreciative.

Regarding the word ‘avis’: there is disagreement about its meaning in the online dictionary world. I got the word from the MS-Word thesaurus but decided to check the meaning on Dictionary.com. I was a bit surprised to find a definition of ‘Advice; opinion; deliberation.’ when I was expecting something related to winged flying things. Now unsure of myself, I checked the Encarta online dictionary. A search for ‘avis‘ returned no results, so I tried ‘aves.’ Once again, no definition, but to my surprise, one of the suggested alternate words was ‘avis.’ Now thouroughly confused, I made a stop at Merriam-Webster. To my delight, a search for avis returned an entry for rara avis, with a given meaning of ‘rare bird.’ Confident that ‘avis’ is a synonym for ‘bird,’ I proceded to finish writing this entry. Moral of the story: sometimes even dictionaries should eat crow.
