Random Stuff

I realize my postings recently really haven't been about anything very far into the internal parts of me. Give me time. For now, I'm just feeling like posting when I come across a quirky something that makes me laugh or makes me go "hmmmm." Also please take note that since changing to a MACBOOK from a DELL PC, my Blog posting template is missing the "link" icon...it has the "checkmark ABC" for checking spelling and the "picture" link , but no access to creating a web site link. So...does anyone know what has happened? And...all my links are going to have to be written out as I don't care to figure out the HTML code within the template. Ok, enough techno babble. Here are some interesting things from today's readings on the internet:

I chuckled at these knuckles.
Are you street material? Just get woozie under the needle of a tatoo artist? Consider knitting needles! You too can be a knitting thug! Here's the web site you need to go to for a pattern and more pictures of some creative messages for your knuckles: http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTknucks.html

Ok...next item.
I don't have kids to entertain on long drives across the country...but if I did, I think an etch-a -sketch could solve alot of car travel boredom issues. And it might just inspire the latent artist in your kid! That's the story of this young man's art. Check it out! http://www.gvetchedintime.com/# He began at 10 years old etch-a-sketching the US Capital Dome. When I was 10, I was showing off my "box within a box" to the captive audience in my family's stationwagon. I could never get rid of that connecting line or perfect the circle. And any little unexpected bump....grrrr. Kudos out to this artist extrordinaire!

I saved the what I found as the most humorous to the last. I've heard my share of cell-phone bashing jokes, but the journalist who penned the "10 Commandments Of Cell Phone Etiquette" has nailed it. I encourage you to take your time and read each commandment in full, as his sharp wit crescendoes throughout the writing. It is a carthatic reading. Enjoy! http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/00/05/26/000526opwireless.html
