Park. I love how the words reflect the sky. Colors are brilliant and vivid. Makes me feel rich.Dodge. Perfect balance between the pink and blue. Pink and Blue are the new black. You see them prominently in clothes these days. I’ve been on something of a blue theme lately, shifting from a dominance of green and orange in my clothes and website.Tree Blossoms. The shade of blue feels fresh. It has the joy of Spring within its borders.Regan. Shutterbug has an intimate style that I quickly grown to appreciate. Its similar to many of the portraits done by Infrangible, but…
I’m a sucker for cute couples.Not much of note today. Perhaps tomorrow. :)
I wrote these a long time ago, under a psuedonym. A plan to help spur me to write that mostly failed, as well as offer me a chance to experiment with the blogger tool. Oh well, I didn’t have time, and quickly lost interest. I remembered it some time ago and decided it was about time to move the poems over here for good keeping.
I’ve decided its time to start noting favorite compositions by the photoblog crowd again. So here they are:Delicate Yellow Slipper. I love green.University of Oregon Museum of Art. Chromogenic has the best grainy black and white photos. lately, I’ve been thinking how to duplicate that special kind of grainy feel in digital photos.Men, Sarevo, Bosnia. Jocund has a great street shot, perfectly capturing the moment between these old men.Asparagus or bamboo, I’m not sure which. But its green, and I’m digging the verdant landscape right now.Mountain Landscape by Rannie from photojunkie.com, guest appearing on Top Left Pixel. I favored this…
I get asked how I am doing by friends and aquaintences, as I go about the daily practice of living. I am often caught unprepared, not having anything relevant to say immediately, and upon further reflection, finding that so much and so little have happened there isn’t any good way to get started.The inevitable reply is of course, "good". :) But that does little alleviate the need to tell somebody what is going on.I like to talk about myself. I think this is one reason why I find blogging attractive. I can spend hourse talking without worrying about stealing the…
Megan and Allen are good friends of mine. Megan’s mother is currently fighting leukemia, and the prognosis doesn’t look good. We would all appreciate your prayers for Mrs. Bounds and the family.
Words spoken by Lynn Faulkner, the father of a girl who lost her mother in the WTC on 9/11. The President had been working the line, shaking hands with people on Tuesday at the Golden Lamb Inn in Lebanon, when someone mentioned that the girl had lost her mom. The President stopped to ask her how she was doing, and then gave her a hug. (ref: Cincinatti Inquirer
I tend to harp. I know, and I’m sorry, but its not my fault. MrSirio does such a good job, and he’s consistent about it. See his latest.Chromogenic’s photo of Florence Beach is minimalistic, and has a certain intense beauty about it. Justin Ouellette also does a consistent job of delivered evocotive shots with a variety of camera sources.
If you are scripting with the DOM in mozilla browsers, and probably with IE browsers as well, you should never name your elements the same as your id. example:Bad:<input name="key" id="key" />Good:<input name="key1" id="key2" />If you gvie the elements name attribute and id attribute the same value, then the DOM gets confused and returns nothing. And now you know!
In the most recent edition of Touchstone Magazine, S. M. Hutchins speaks in his article Please Me, O Lord about the roots of Romantic Worship. Very well done. To note, I covered this issue with less aplomb in a post on A Blog Apart called, Rampant Addiction to Emotionalism Discovered in Much of the Western World!
Talk about making your point.Acts of terrorism are down, according to a report by the state department.Google is doing its best to not be evil. :) The best part of the story is on page 2, where you will find out that Google’s offering of 2,718,281,828 stocks is the same as e which is the natural log.

Since I’ve been away, and you might be curious, I thought I would spend some time explaining what I’ve been doing with Walljm.com for the past couple months.Walljm.com is home grown, hand coded and a grand experiment in evolutionary software development. I don’t have the advantage of using a CMS being continually improved by some group of talented people. Walljm.com was, in the begining, an excercise in code, a chance to prove to myself I could do it, and also to teach myself the skills I needed to compete in this industry.But the problem was, walljm.com grew into somethign more…
Walljm.com is undergoing a massive restructuring internally. You won’t notice much, but trust me, the foundations are moving beneath your feet. :)Posting will likely not occur for several weeks while things gets fixed and changed. Like Paulo before me, I’ll be off the air. Also, things may or may not work sporadically, and commenting will be turned off as well, as there are migration issues, and I don’t want stuff getting lost while in transition. You can email me if you have questions, and the contact form will still work as usual. Sorry for the inconvenience. Do take a look…
Jon is my roomate. He’s cool, so you should buy him stuff.
