Slowly but Surely...

... I am recovering from my vacation. I joked for the last few days of my vacation to London and Spain that I would need a holiday from my holiday. Luckily for Mom and I the last few days of our trip to Spain Megan and Murray invited us to join them outside of Barcelona at the artist residency, Can Serrat, was so lovely and peaceful that it did my body, heart, and mind a whole lotta good. But I still needed down time after 13 days of waking up, touring, lunching, touring, visiting, talking, and then sleeping.

Now I am relatively rested, only to start up this week with the Trinity MSCMM's summer project, which is 50% of our whole master's course grade/marks and will last three months. Simon, Jasper, and I will be doing a mobile blogging project (what else?) around Ireland, links coming to a browser near you soon.

My Mom departed yesterday and today I worked on my resume (a lovely internet job needed in Calif. in Oct. upon my masters degree completion) and adding titles to the MMS moblogged vacation photos here. Hopefully, I will get up the other London and Spain photos I took as photo essays before the next century.

I have lots of thoughts swirling around my head that I would like to blog here, but I am a bit crazy with finishing the redesign of this site, my resume, and starting the design of the summer project site, that if I am a bit quiet here, please forgive me.

I hope all is well in your world.

Tidbits

  • LAtimes.com on St. Cecila's : Priest gives responsibility of running church to congregation & church life revives.  
  • Preach it, brother! - "I don't do much of anything that elicits the response: 'I never saw a white man do that. Good for you. Your people must be so proud.'" - Milton on white man's burden.

    Unique bird of the day: Saw a crow pulling a part a small hawk on top of a rusted metal oil pump/rig in Long Beach today.  Was wondering if the hawk was dead or alive when the crow got it? Due to driving by at 45 mph, did not take a photo.
  • Understanding Art for Geeks: ROTFL!!! via @WordRidden & @AndyBudd

    Thomas Hawk on PhotoWalking: I may not agree with TH on all his points, but here is very good guide on how to take daily photos everywhere you go.  The main point is to take a camera with you at all times, big or small, and take photos.

    The SixtyOne:  The Music version of Digg. Have you used it? Added songs or got inspired by SixtyOne?

    SVN: While I hate SubVersion with a passion, C. Michael Pilato has been kind enough to put up a pdf version of his O'Reilly book online.  I will try to reconcile myself with SVN.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Darn it all, I like FTP!
  • How Windows Users are Conditioned: Tom Negrino sums up: "It was like a tire puncture or something; just one of those things that happen. And that's what I find so pernicious about Windows. It's conditioned tens of millions of people to the idea that computers are unreliable and a huge pain in the ass. And that things that go wrong just can't be helped."

    Ernie & Royce on Working From Home
  • Ben Brown on why he quit Facebook: "I don’t want the Internet to be the bastard child of basic cable and Walmart. I want the Internet to be something better, where control of the media really is democratized and where I can truly find content and services that are crafted with me and people like me in mind."  (Ms. Jen says - Preach it, brother!)
