Just plain fun, and original by Alan Becker, posted on DeviantArt- Animator vs Animation: An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can […]
Sigh, back to the seven levels of technical hell. Nope, I have advanced beyond a code ID 10T. Just 10 minutes ago, I am talking on my telephone, watching the screen of my laptop, and it blinks/flashes twice, and the screen goes dim again, Crikie! I did a PMU reset, and on the start the […]

So I was reading Gardner Campbell describe In My Life, where he shares the moments of his transition from University of Mary […]

Sigh, I am resigning myself that my MacBookPro may be a fruit more in the citrus family. Three days after a 12 day stint to the Apple Repair Facility in Somewhereville, the backlit screen is no longer lit, so off it goes again. “It will be a priority, but expect it to be a week”. […]
