So I have been researching alternative software lately. Primarily focusing on free, open source applications such as internet browsers, office suites, photo editing, and even operating systems. It has proven to be a fascinating and rewarding endeavor. For starters I explored alternative internet browsers. It is now common knowledge, it seems that Internet Explorer is […]
Learning Lesson #5: Generators
So I made one of these little magazines. What fun. Although, I couldn’t seem to find a place to edit the text of the cover. I’m sure there are ways to do that somewhere. Anyway, it’s highly entertaining. There were also lots of fun, goofy things to play with on the chocolate bar site. I […]
Learning Lesson #4: Flickr
Well, I browsed around the site for quite a while. It was certainly impressing. There are so many talented photographers. Mostly, I just ran a search for “guitar” and found thousands of cool pics of people’s sweet axes as well as some very unique and artistic images featuring this beautiful instrument. I found a few […]
Cool! A reader!
Thanks for the comment Joyce. Anyway, those are good questions. I guess I don’t bother to explain anything because I have begun to think of this as a sort of journal for myself to pass the time. So, I reckon I could clarify a bit. First, the kids are just three or four of my […]
Oh, the good life!
Well, our 4th of July party was a blast (literally). We had quite a number of guests and everyone enjoyed themselves. Great food, lots of pool-time, some intense badmitton and a great fireworks show were all part of this year’s celebration. Yesterday I spent the entire afternoon making another movie with all the little kids. […]
The War Against Boredom
Well, I am doing my best but it is a challenge. Yesterday I had a job interview and was hired at a Meijer gas station so I am now carrying two part-time jobs. I am also getting all kinds of extra hours at the library due to sick and vacationing co-workers. So things are getting […]
Ouch!
So, I guess I’m getting braces. Long story. Complicated. Jeez. Anyway, this morning they put in some separators which are causing me a significant amount of pain. Now, I have a splitting headache which was not helped by me staring at a computer for the last 7 hours. Bla. I am ready to go. I […]
Kung Fu Panda
Turns out we went to see “Kung Fu Panda” instead. It was actually really good. The performance at the library was also great. I really enjoyed that. All the musicians were stellar and the Meijer branch staff did a great job putting together this show. I really hope this becomes a regular event.
Library Thoughts
So…..I pretty much think it is way to nice to be here at work today. I was just outside for my lunch and it is just about the nicest day ever. My opinion is that the library should consider closing on days like this. I mean, who in their right mind would want to be […]
Fun stuff
Well I gave blood for the first time today. That was exciting. Also, while I was waiting in line I got called to see if I could work today. So here I am. Giving blood was neat, but painful. She had some trouble sticking my vein which was not a very pleasant feeling but other […]
Alrighty then….
O.K. so it looks like this blogging thing is going to be a great way to pass the time. Although, not a very productive way since there is no one to read this. Hmmmm…….well, maybe someone will some day. So I guess I could try and start by making it something worth reading. Hmmm (again)….. […]
