Moon Gadget

Last week Pliny changed his home page from Google to iGoogle. This was because he wanted to use the iGoogle Translator to translate something from English into Greek. But the Translator didn't want to know. Pliny was about to switch back to Google when he saw the Moon Gadget.



Now Pliny is hooked on iGoogle. He chose a beautiful theme by Akira Ishigawa to decorate his home page. The theme is red, black and cream flowers that subtly change throughout the day. So subtly do they change that it was 3 days before Pliny noticed that they weren't always the same.



That was because his attention was focused rapturously on his Moon Gadget. The Moon Gadget tells Pliny exactly what phase the moon is in. For example today the moon is 100% of full. Yesterday it was 99% of full.



All Pliny has to do to see if this is true is wait till night time and go outside and look.
