Inspiration via Website

Talking with a friend on line, named Marcia, I mentioned her having a website. The flounder-syndrome kicked in. When I explained that I could add a folder [...]

The Book

A perceptive overview of the roles of the technological guru and the humble user and the latter’s helpless ignorance in the face of mystical knowledge. Appropriate that the characters are in a “spiritual” setting, aside from the historical situation.

Peeling Potatoes the Easy Way

This video came was an email forward. I’m not fond of forwards but this is so cool. Sometimes I cook. I like potatoes. I don’t like peeling potatoes. And, in this video, you get to see Dawn Wells, Marianne from “Gilligan’s Island,” forty years later. Still cute.

What the heck has happened to got-your-back friends these days? It is more of a frontal assault. In former days, or I should say my former [...]

Sounds Of A Steam Train Whistle

For many of those people, it is the whistle, along with the clack, clack of the wheels that evokes those memories.
