Vicarious Thoughts

Bother! My computer crashed tonight and since all I had left to do was write this post, I opted to try using my phone instead. Unfortunately, I was cutting it close to midnight, as I am wont to do and though I got it written, I didn’t get it saved before my session got trashed […]

Was planning on getting some shots of the night sky. However, clouds and marauding insects knocked that idea on it’s head. Speaking of which, anyone got a great product or remedy for taking the sting out of insect bites?

Very tired and have neglected to put the camera to good use today. This is one of the things I’ve been doing this evening. Not bad considering it was well over 2 days worth of podcasts to listen to two days ago. I rather like how the lcd matrix is captured by the camera.

Looks like I’ve been semi-subconsciously been planning to make another attempt at Project 365 which is also item number 72 on my 101 in 1001 list. So here’s today’s photo: The Everlasting Daisy reminds me of staying with my grandmother who grew them and harvest them and mount them on floral wire for craftwork. If […]

Spent today catching up on on a backlog of podcasts. I’ve been trying to find a decent podcast manager in Ubuntu. I found a great application that works for me in Windows called Feedreader (which incidentally is also my preferred RSS feed reader for Windows), and am currently using Rhythmbox in Ubuntu.

I listen to quite a number of podcasts each week. I thought I’d highlight a few that I really enjoy: Quirks and Quarks – A Canadian Radio Broadcast about various science topics each week. Most have some connection to a Canadian but there are topics that are based all over the world and the content […]

Not a lot tonight because I’m tired, have other work to do, and still unsure about presenting the following two items alongside a bunch of home education stuff. Why not change your desktop background for the month to one of these lovely background images featured on Smashing Magazine. They all feature a calendar of March […]

I’ve been trying to do this kind of post “for quite some time now” (sorry, The Matrix is playing in the next room) and try and move away from my content-thin blogposts of late (and early). So without further ado, I bring you my rss feed picks for today! Craft These Goodie Bags look quite […]

So at the end of last year, for the first time ever, I wrote a list of goals for the coming year. I mentioned quite a few of them in this post. I then worked out from those goals what I would attempt to achieve in the first quarter of the year (Jan-Mar) and then […]
