Friday was pretty nice, so I painted. I’m working on the bathroom, trying to get a little paint to drag me out of the winter doldrums. The Wings won, life was good. Saturday came, and Papa and I went to the home improvement big box store. We didn’t find what we wanted, but bought a [...]

There are a bunch of options for bluegrass in the D this weekend. After careful consideration, Papa and I have decieded to head down to the Huron Valley Eagles and see B0 and John and ‘em. We’ve seen Bo sing quite a bit, but this will be the first time we’ve seen this group. Bo [...]

I read a few tech columns and blogs, but not enough so you would mistake me for a technology wiz, or even someone with more than basic knowledge of “How stuff works”. Today, however, a headine in my reader caught my eye, and I didn’t mark the item as “read”, I actually read the darn [...]

That I sometimes wander. Not just my mind, but my entire universe? “Off on a tangent,” my Mother used to say about my personality quirk. I actually looked that little word up the other day, after I went on one. I sometimes wonder how these side trips happen to me, but not for very long. [...]

Papa and I had a wonderful time at M-in-L’s home “up North” over the weekend. We ate a little cake, and visited. We had a brief visit with S-Dad, and continued on toward home. Since we were in the neighborhood, and hungry, we ate at Zenders something we rarely do. It was nice to sit [...]

Here’s another of Common Craft’s wonderful Videos. This one, Social Media in Plain English, is a pretty good take on something that can be very hard to explain. Those who have been using the web in this way for a while came to understand this without an explanation. The rest of you can watch and [...]

Remember Common Craft? Here’s another of there wonderful films; this time about blogs. I guess those of us that have internet, and poke around a little had this canned.

I ran across a cool website a couple of months ago. It belongs to a company which makes training videos for clients, some of whom are in high tech industries.
