"Danger!! Danger, Will Robinson.."

I don't know if you have been following what is going on in Texas concerning the school textbooks, but you ought to be because there is a group of dangerous, holier than thou, folks re-writing history and publishing it in school textbooks.

From what I have read so far, what happens… Read full post »

All About Brain-Spurts, (mine)

This is an example of my newest design idea. One of my main issues I have had, designing websites, was the fact that backgrounds had to be either solid colors, (yawn) or a repeating background graphic of some kind. Although the background graphic can be a cool thing, more times… Read full post »

Afghanistan's My Lai Massacre

This is a disgrace to anything American of any kind. The US Gov did this same kind of crap to the American Indians and now a hundred years later they are still doing it in another part of the world..

We need to find the ones responsible, give them a fair trial… Read full post »

Free Olympic Art..

I know.. the Olympics have been over for like a week, or some thing but I can't control how I find things, so there you are. This is a pretty cool link, tucked inside the Vancouver 2010 website. If you are wanting some nice computer desktop wallpapers to remember the Winter… Read full post »

hello world..

 High drama getting my srvice to stay on. The company has a cold, cruel heart. They just couldn't understand that the pay check only came once a month and that was usually the 5th of every month. They gave us until the 1st.

So sorry..

So any old how.. I… Read full post »

I just wanted to say thank you..

I just want to say, (the obvious.) You folks of this community are some of the finest people in the world. You humble me and make me proud to call you my family.

Thank you for your kindness and caring. Ric and Theresa

That is the theme of this missive of mine, Despite it all. I have been swimming against the current for quite a little time now and slowly, ever so slowly the current has pulled me backwards towards the abyss. I have really swam my old ass off, selling a banner here… Read full post »

Home Town Memories

Home Town Library

This is a graphic I made of my home town library, re-created from a photograph.

This building holds so much history for me. As a kid, I used to scan it's shelfs for books to take home. Later, when I was in High/…

Billboards of Fools..

Okay, it has driven me BONKERS, since day one as a member of OS. The banner width is terrific! The height? ..not so much. It's not easy fitting a nice graphic into a space such as this, (990 px wide by 125 px tall.) 200 px tall would be wonderful.  So.. It has been bothering me and I think about more than I probably should, for over a year now, ... When suddenly, out of the blue, like a lightning bolt shot to the head, I discovered that it made for a pretty cool banner if you were to slice up a regular sized background/desktop sized graphic then animate the slices in the order they appear in the graphic, (looking from bottom to top.)  Kind of a sectional view of the whole picture.  I used one of my apple comet space backgrounds for the current banner.  My banner graphic is stop motion at the moment but I am trying to learn to make it a more fluid so we shall see, as time progresses (if you would like to see the full sized version of the banner graphic to use on your own desktop) **CLICK HERE**

Still Do

I had two brothers yet I grew up wondering what it was like to have brothers who cared about each other. I still do. My parents never divorced yet I grew up wondering what it would be like to have a father love me more than the next drink. I still… Read full post »

About That Earthquake(s) in Haiti

All I have been hearing on the news is about, "the" earthquake in Haiti, so the purpose of this post is to educate you about the earthquakes. See? Old people are funny. Some of us get hobbies. Useless hobbies. Some become experts on the weather or some get a kick out… Read full post »

When I was in school during the Dark Ages, the only dress code we had was you had to wear a button up shirt over your tee-shirt, (you couldn't just wear your tee-shirt alone) the outer shirt had to be buttoned up and tucked in. The girls couldn't wear skirts, one… Read full post »

A Joke and A Recipe..

THE BEAR REMOVER


A man wakes up one morning in Alaska to find a bear on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Bear Removers."

He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes. The bear remover arrives,

A plumber's budget vacation

We all know that Mike Rodgers is a plumber and rakes in the BIG dough.. What most don't know is he is cheap, always looking to go the budget plan, whenever possible.

Take for instance his most recent vacation, "Safari R Us." He quickly found out why his elephant was named,Read full post »

Some People Just Need Killing...

I just don't care what people might think of my opinion because some people just need to be killed. Like in some old west movie, "we'll give him a fair trial then we'll hang him..." This guy, a children's doctor no less needs just that kind of a trial. He video… Read full post »
