I’d like to address this to the lovely woman (and her understandably quiet, seemingly embarrassed husband) who took little screaming Junior to Wild Oats in Lexington, Kentucky on Saturday.
Dear Mother -
No, I did NOT roll my eyes at your child. Had I rolled my eyes at anyone, it would have been at you. My sister [...]
Watched this amazing talk this morning, then tweeted it and sent it to a few people on my list. Great stuff. Worth the 19 minutes of your life required to watch it. Take the time.
Or go here to watch it on TED.com.
I have seen the future (today, on YouTube) and the future is now! Go and watch the CBS news segment on the medical clinical trials for regenerating human tissue, organs and even limbs!
It’s really cool, but rather scary. If we can do this, then how long before we reduce/eliminate mortality? Speaking as a middle aged [...]
I just saw this today and had to share it. Interesting find for this morning, since I was up late LATE last night looking at RVs. Just before I did finally go to bed, I determined that it was time to either decide to travel or to decide to stay still on my farm — [...]
I love the quality of this cartoon, created by Blender (blender.org) and distributed under creative commons! It’s not Disney or Pixar, and it’s not for kids (my daughter cringed several times and held her hands over MY eyes once before I fussed at her!), but it is a “just” take on retribution. Occasionally, every “bunny” [...]
I’m loving Pandora. I really am. I like “discovering” new music that comes pre-matched to my musical tastes. It never gets old and there’s always some new artist, style or song to enjoy. If you haven’t tried it yet… go … do it. Now.
I have also found a literary version of the same “database analysis [...]
I love iFrogz cases… love them so much that I’ve purchased them for myself and for other members of my family. My daughter loves her purple metal one. I only wish I’d been able to do so while they were on sale like this!
If you haven’t checked them out, visit iFrogz today for some of [...]
I’ve been in the middle of a redesign over the past two days… and just about the time I got it looking the way I wanted it to look, I learn about CSS Naked Day.
To know more about why styles are disabled on this website visit the Annual CSS Naked Day website for more [...]
Today I received the following email from my mother. You may have already seen this, but I just had to share:
Recent hurricanes and gasoline issues are proof of the existence of a new chemical element. Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one [...]
Right now, as I write this, the Space Ship House on a mountain in Chattanooga, TN is just about to go on the Auction Block. If you want to see inside this interesting house (not a “little” house or a “tiny” house, mind you at 2000 square feet), you can visit the ebay auction page.
So, [...]
I blogged earlier about one of the most disgusting parasites ever, the botfly, right before we went on our cruise to Mexico. I showed the kids YouTube videos detailing the disgustingness of it all.
Today, my son Byron sent me a simple email with a link and the subject line: “I win!”What he won, apparently, was [...]
I love the concept of a roll-up computer the size of a largish dinner napkin. Don’t you?
The design (and it is a design concept only, btw) is like a latex tablet pc that’s uber-thin. Kinda cool.
I saw this little work of art while driving around Danville, Kentucky the other day, and I just had to grab a shot of it.
(It looked particularly interesting cruising the parking lot — with the post-its on the wheels twirling around.)
Best of Craigslist - amusing, but seldom rated “G” — it’s a wonderful place to waste some of your life and get a few chuckles (or nod in silent knowing — depending on your own life experiences.)
Check out this “graphic” view of reality: http://glob.anewyorkthing.com/?p=2334.
I love it!
Yeah, it’s a fortune, but it’s also amazingly cool. I’d love to have a book half this amazing. (And you would too — admit it!)
I’ve rekindled my love of fine books lately and have been drooling over a number of leather-bound editions online, which is how I found out about this.
Want to learn more about [...]
Ironically, after contemplating the cost of my decisions up to this point in my life today… I saw this video of a little guy willing to give anything for his dream.
(Today, my baby turned 10 years old, so I am a bit melancholy and feeling a bit older than usual. It’s one of those “I’m-old-and-I’ve-not-accomplished-enough” [...]
