More Long Lost Photo

January 6th, 2009

Hope people don’t mind me posting this amazing photo of the Three Girls, along with Charles, Paige, and Ann Maria. It’s much lightened and retouched from the original negative, which I just scanned in. These are much harder than slides, so there will be very few coming. But fun, nonetheless.

Nerd Speak

When you send me or any Mac user a Word document from MS Outlook, my Apple Mail cannot process it, because it’s in a proprietary RTF format instead of standard. So it comes across as Winmail.dat. I finally found the way around this, to have the document sent to my Gmail account, which I can then download to my Mac and open it normally.

Now someone tell me why Apple can’t do this.

I was just thinking…

If there were no such animal as the giraffe, and some creative artistic person invented the giraffe as a whimsy, he would not be believed. How could such a goofy, disproportionate animal exist?

Maybe I’ll start a new blog, called, “I was just thinking…”

Dutch Art

December 8th, 2008

This website is about a Dutch artist Hennie Schrijver whose work is beautiful. I just saw a couple of examples, and I like it a lot. I wrote to him for permission to link to his site. We’ll see.
P.S. Just reading the Dutch language is interesting, but I also used Google to translate the page so I could understand it more. However, his last name translates to “Writer” but he is an artist. Irony in there somewhere.
