Since my museum days, I have always entertained the notion that I have had a little design experience. I did get to work very closely with the designer there and I did a little bit of layout work and exhibit design on my own as well. It was a lot of fun and I probably…

Blog Action Day
I just signed up to participate in Blog Action Day…a single day (October 15) where the blogging community will come together to blog about a single issue as it relates to their blog or the author’s life. From the Blog Action Day Site: Bloggers can participate on Blog Action Day in one of two ways:…
Shutting down the internet so we can make content – what am I doing right now, then?
Much as I love Elton John’s tunes…I find this little rant disturbing. Surely he is getting plenty o’ pennies from iTunes and other online music services. And, this article points out other uses of the web that Sir John has used. The more art there is, the better in my mind. If the internet gives…
What will you be doing on 080808?
Well, I might make 8 lists of 8 things…but exactly one year from today, I will also be watching the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing! yes, I know the air quality will stink (maybe literally). But, it is the OLYMPICS! One of the things that makes the world feel right for about…
Musicovery – Discovery by mood and connections
I was exploring the mood “badges” and other sites that track the collective hive’s mood online. Interesting stuff but I’m just not voyeuristic enough to poke around on these sites for very long. But, this site: Musicovery really caught my eye. It was built by the folks at the Experience Project, which is (from their…
Thinking about 070707
I am timing this to appear at 07:07:07 on 07/07/07. I am just finding this day to be pretty exciting. So, instead of the Friday Fives, I’m going for the Seven Sevens. Seven Lists for this Seven Heaven Day: My Seven Natural Wonders (well, natural places that I love) Top of Looking Glass Rock in…
TED talks
I have to give props to Merlin Mann over at 43 Folders. He must have a cosmic connection to what I need to read and hear because this video is several years old but just showed up in his blog to reach my eyeballs today. I’ve been to the TED talks site a few times…
Farewell Mr. Wizard
My heart is saddened to learn that Mr. Wizard died yesterday. Of course, I grew up watching his show. It was a far cry from the edu-tainment we have today ala Bill Nye the Science Guy and Beakman (I love both of them, too). He was much more serious with his approach but it was…
Email Bankruptcy and other communication changes
I have read a few articles in recent days about folks declaring themselves email bankrupt. The term has been around for a while but it it just know hitting my radar. The email bankrupt among us just cannot and/or will not keep up with the barrage of email and feel overwhelmed and unable to get…
Wow…post #500 to my blog. Who knew???
Just noticed that this is my 500th post here at good old T-F!! I am happy about that. The P365 certainly keeps it in front on my mind but I do enjoy tinkering with it all. Happy Birthday to one of my Japan-nieces!! She is getting so big so fast! Amazing. My post of the…
