Autumn colors

Then I looked out the big bay window, and as the
sun began to slowly set, saw some clouds turning
pretty shades of pink. I picked up the
digital camera that happened to be sitting within
easy reach, and took a photo of those pretty pink
clouds as seen through the large picture windows in
my living room. A few minutes later I walked
over to get a better view, and noticed the sunset
had turned other clouds glorious shades of fiery
orange. I snapped a picture of those too, then took
a moment to enjoy the colorful sunset I was being
treated to. Those two photos are now a reminder to
me, and hopefully all who view them, that sometimes
finding beauty, is as simple as looking out the
window. Read

Real tragedy, and sad irony
23/10/09 13:31 Filed in: Noteworthy
News
While propped up in bed this morning enjoying my
morning tea and enchanting electric flames from my
little faux cast iron stove, I found this story
about the
Somer Thompson murder
much less enchanting, but even more riveting than
those electric flames. Tears came to my eyes as I
read the sad tale of the chubby cheeked 7 year old
who met her fate at the hands of a brutal
killer. As I wiped my eyes and continued
reading the story I was struck by the irony of the
the headline link right above it.

Glenn Close on the stigma of silence concerning mental illness

Glenn Close: Mental Illness: The Stigma of
Silence
- Huffington Post
Ms Close has done an excellent article on the issue of mental illness both from the viewpoint of an actress who has played, and researched the roles of mentally disturbed characters. And more importantly, from the viewpoint of someone who has some family members who suffer from various forms of mental illness. I recommend anyone who suffers from any form of mental illness, or who has family members or friends who do, read this wonderfully written article by a woman I have always greatly admired for her talent, intelligence, and ability to be articulate when discussing or writing about things that interest her. Kudos Ms Close for an exceptionally well written article on a very touchy subject.

A very tricked out browser

I
slid my finger softly across the touch pad,
and placed the cursor over the tiny little
masked fox in the corner of my browser.
I gave the touch pad a gentle touch, and as
the sound of my nail tapping against it died
away, began to put the new
Personas
add-on I had just downloaded through its
paces. Read More...
It's All About The Add-Ons
18/10/09 17:40 Filed in: Computing
I have been giving some
Firefox
add-ons like
ScribeFire
a really good test run the past couple of weeks as
I have gone about revamping my
website.
ScribeFire
is a
Firefox
browser add-on that allows you to create, edit,
and, if you have the right blog settings, upload
blog entries. Read

It's Cyber Magick
12/10/09 10:24 Filed in: Computing
After finally getting the page organized the way I
want it, and the comments section working in the
blog, I have decided I may be a nerd at heart. Or
at least some part of me is. The reason I've come
to this conclusion is this past week I have spent
damn nearly every waking moment getting the page
redone the way I want it, including that damn
comments section. At least I hope I have it going
right. By the time I did get it going, I knew it
had been way too long since I fooled around with
java scripts. Read

Another Total Revamping
07/10/09 20:03 Filed in: Page Updates
Well, what a tiring but very productive time the
last few days have been. But the end result is a
once more revamped site that will hopefully inspire
me to write something really great once I get over
being so damned tired after getting it revamped. As
those of you who are paying me a visit will see I
now have yet another blog. Hopefully, this is going
to be the final blog I start. The Word Press blog
was great, but I wanted my blog to be fully
integrated with my main site, and built by
RapidWeaver, instead of being something separate
from it. I even forked out 12 bucks to Holoscan so
I can have a moderated comment section on this
blog. Read More...
