Serenity… a life's expedition

I’ve not had much time to do much writing or thinking about writing today so, when the time came to fill the pages my mind was blank – and I thought, “wouldn’t it be nice if there were blog post starters?”. And, lo and behold, of course there are. Lots of them – which leads [...]

Despite my crabbing about quotations, I quite like them sometimes.  Some, in my view, are insipid and unimaginative but what does that matter? If others find joy or inspiration or humor in them, then it’s all good. It’s not really what the words say but what application they may have to your life at that [...]

It’s been a very hot, tiring day and I find that I just don’t feel like writing anything this evening, so I won’t. Except, you know,  I just caught sight of something in the test pattern photo – namely, the Native American chief image there, right at the top. I’ve never noticed that before. Or, [...]

I’ve been looking at quotations. Phrases and thoughts disconnected from their original settings and placed in isolation – or rather, a sea of isolation as they space with thousands and thousands of other fragments of related, but not connecting, phrases. How do they decide what goes in, I wonder. Most sources quoted are, of course, [...]

I am finding this promise to write something (for posting) every day for a month a bit onerous, but it’s almost over. I know I’ll feel better for having accomplished my aim and kept my promise to myself, but I don’t think I will carry it over in the next month. Or maybe I will. [...]

That’s just… weird. Sad, too, of course – my heart goes out to their family and friends. But still… I practically grew up with MJ. Oh, I didn’t know him (unless you believe the rumor that was going around my jr high school at the time that that was him spending a semester there), but [...]

I am not so interested in dictating to others how they should remember their past. Let the Lost Cause find itself, our search lies within. And when it’s over, we will put Ida Wells up against Nathan Forrest, on any day of the week, and leave the generations to judge. Sooner or later, in the [...]

The hardest part (besides just making myself do it) is going to be to find optimum time to work on this, relatively free of distractions. Okay, well I know there is little hope for the last, so will just have to figure out a way to ignore or work around the distractions. Focus! etcetera. Darn. [...]

NOW had an election. Who knew they even had elections? My thoughts are still with the people of Iran. What a mess – it certainly seems incontrovertible that election was very flawed, but there is more to it, of course, and hopefully something good will come out of all this tragedy. I hold no brief [...]

The ones named CSS and PHP, that is. Oh, we’ll toss in HTML and DHTML as well, but even now I’ll have nothing to do with MySQL. (Let us just hope my database is not struck dead out of pique.) I have a lot of plans for Human Beams but I’ve realized that one holdup [...]
