Arthur Murray look out

I like to change my computer wallpaper every few weeks and this is the latest. I thought the pictures of my young cousin Michael charming a guest at a recent family wedding were adorable.

Woot contest

I love the weekly picture contest on www.woot.com. Every Friday they pick a theme and then you have the weekend to work on a suitable picture and enter it. This week's theme was based on one of this week's woot products, a tool box vacuum cleaner. The suposition is "What if the old saying, 'Nature abhors a vacuum' was literal"? You are supposed to come up with an illustration of what it might look like if Mother Nature REALLY did hate this vacuum cleaner. Ok, weak premise, but some fun entries. I entered twice, but neither was as strong as I'd like, the first is Mother Nature dreaming about things she'd like to do to the hated vacuum, and the other is some of "Nature's" giants going after the doomed vac.


Yes, I occasionally have too much time on my hands.

Home Sweet Home

Had a great time out in California this past weekend! But I did go through hi-tech withdrawal as there was no cellphone coverage, wi-fi hotspot or dialup access where I was. I did finally stumble across a local wi-fi spot and got my "fix". Just a few years ago we didn't have cellphones, computers, ATM's, digital cameras, etc., however did we manage. . . . Do you start twitching and breaking out in a rash when you're away from your electronic toys for too long?

Hot enough to fry eggs

Well, almost. It was so hot today that a reporter at the local news radio station tried to cook dinner on his car dashboard - bacon, brocoli, a cheese sandwich, and chocolate chip cookies. Still looks a little underdone to me....

How'd they do this?...

Ok, alot of times the trick is easy to figure out, but I guess there must be some mathematical rule at work here that I don't know about (of course that could include quite a few rules of math given my ancient grades in that area) ... give it a try! http://digicc.com/fido/

Redecorating

Got bored so redecorated my blog. It's cheaper than redecorating my office and I did that a while back anyway (I love IKEA....and it's just down the road...sigh.)
