random meme observation

This morning, before I went swimming, I wrote out a meme for this site (Take5 Tuesday).  There were many reasons I chose to do this…  First of all, I had no idea what to write, and writing a meme is (fairly) easy.  Second of all, I was very tired and could barely string a sentence [...]

gimp and chick fil a

I spent the evening wrestling with GIMP and my personal lack of artistic talent.  Seriously, in my family, my sister got all the visual artistic talent.  She has a bachelors degree in art, and she now works as a professional graphic designer.  I’m the writer in the family, believe it or not.
Actually, my dad and [...]

audio books

My sister introduced our family to audio books.  She has made many solo cross-country drives, and during those drives, she discovered how much she loves a good audio book.  It kept her awake and helped her to pay attention to the road.
When we made the next family trip (parents, sister, and me), all of us [...]

krazy glue and our litigious society

Update: Sorry about the light/dark and small/large text.  I can’t figure out how to fix that!
I am not a litigious type of person.
I have never filed a lawsuit before and I hope I never have to.  But rest assured that I will only ever file a lawsuit if I have a clear cut justifiable reason.  [...]

peta’s latest “gimme a break!”

PETA asks Ben & Jerry’s to use breast milk.
As in, human breast milk.
I find this article so stunning that I can’t even find words for it.
I am an absolute believer in kindness to animals.  Animal cruelty is WRONG, no two ways about it!  But I also believe that animals were given to us to nourish [...]

randoms, 9-27-08

It occured to me that I should write SOMETHING today.
It’s been a very quiet day.  I’ve done quite a bit of website work… practicing my coding and so forth.
I’ve also been working on some graphics.  Again, practicing and learning.
I spent some time organizing all my photos earlier.  That was kinda fun.
I ordered a new mouse [...]

light bulbs

So, I have a question for all of you, my wonderful readers.
What kind of light bulbs do you use?  Do you use those new(ish) CFL light bulbs or old(er), traditional bulbs?  Do you use incadescent bulbs to provide lighting in your house?  Which one do you use, and why?
In my house, to be honest, we [...]
