At the moment I am in the process of creating a personal site. I have not chosen whether or not to use Flash or HTML. The biggest problem I see with Flash sites is they can be difficult to navigate, where HTML sites are straight forward. Other than that, the interface of Flash sites are more creative and pleasing to the eye. If you had to choose which one would you pick?
I bought “Web Design: Flash Sites” written by Taschen today and found these creative sites: (more…)

Wouldn’t that be a nice concept? I think it would.
The whole point of creating this entry was to share something I found the other day about a possible fully sponsored mission to space. Go to MissiontoSpace.org to find out more.
I remember being fascinated by space and the thought of traveling into space since I was little. I would wonder what was out there. My parents bought a program where you could enter your location and see the stars as you could see them outside. You could find the constellations you could see that time of the year. We use to use the program and figure out where we could see the constellations outside, and try to find them. I remember seeing the extraordinary pictures from the Eagle Nebula and Swan Nebula that were sent back to us from the Hubble Telescope (see below for images). After watching the movie Contact, staring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey, I pondered if I had the chance to go into space would I take it. The answer was: of course, I think it would be the most amazing experience! I hope that Sameer Sugwekar will find a way to make this possible and I could be a possible candidate to be on the trip. Visit the site and join the groups to help this be a success!
I thought I would share. They were all taken about a year ago, but still each of them holds special meanings and memories.
I’m already on my second iPhone, wasn’t it enough pain to have to anticipate the arrival and then having to wait to actually be able to go get it?
The reason I’m on my second is actually my fault. It must have slipped off something because the volume button was pressed into my phone. During a phone call or while listening to music the volume would just random go down. I took it to the nearest Apple Store, and I was dreading having to either pay the whole amount over again or having to wait weeks to get a new phone. Well, boom! It’s okay, I’ll give you a new phone this time. The first time I haven’t had a problem replacing a broken phone! Then I was worried about loosing all of my information, my photos, text messages, you name it. I knew most of it would be on my computer when I got home because I had synced it before I left. I was under the impression that I would loose all of the “normal stuff”, like text messages, my internet history and bookmarks, and my saved map locations. I got home and hooked the new one up to my computer and everything was synced back on this phone! What a relief!
Now, I’ve had this second phone for 2 weeks and I’ve already dropped it. I know, probably not a good idea. They’re supposed to be durable, right? (Unless they take a spill straight on to the volume buttons) I thought I had broken my phone (more…)
Yuck! That’s all I can think right now about this time of the year with the days getting shorter and the nights longer. I mean who wants to go outside and freeze to death if there is no good reason to? I know I don’t. Cold weather and I do not mix unless it’s snowing and the chances of it actually snowing are slim where I am. It’s mostly sleet or freezing rain. Besides the weather, everyone starts hibernating around me, including myself. A slight hint of depression and stress is in the air. All around YUCK!
When I’m thinking positive about it, sledding, building snowmen, making snow angels, sitting by a fire, roasting marshmallows, and snuggling all come to mind. Wonderful things, but all the negatives come to mind first.
Plain and simple: I know I would rather be somewhere warm.
What a wonderful man. He knew how to make you laugh even if tears were running down your face. He knew how to calm you down no matter what was going on. He was a genius. He cared more about his family and their happiness than anything in the world. He taught me how to dream since I was young. I’m speaking of my grandfather who passed away 8 years ago today. Oh how I miss him!
You know how some grandparents pick what they want you to call them? Well, he wasn’t like that. He wanted me to choose what I called him. As a baby it started at Deedeedee. Then as I grew older it was shortened to Didi. I remember how he use to take me to tea parties when I was a small child. I would go pick out a dress a Rolly’s (a children’s fine retail store) and he would come pick me up and we would go have real tea parties. We would ride around playing “airplane”, where he was the captain and I was the second in command. I would pull the glove-box down and “control the airplane” or at least pretend to control the car. There are so many memories of him that I will cherish forever.
I was getting my car worked on the other day, and the woman who was helping me asked if he was my grandfather. Proudly I said “yes he was”. She then acknowledged what a wonderful person he was. I am biased, but many people loved him and who he was.
I look around at all the father figures that surround me today and none of them compare to him. He cared about his family so much, and made sure they were happy no matter what. Of course there were the small quarrels but in the end everything went back to normal.
If only he was here today, that’s what I keep thinking. Everything that is wrong would go away because he would know how to comfort me and those around me.
Who knew starting an online business would be so strenuous, but not at the same time? A friend of mine approached me with the idea of helping him start an online business to sell car audio equipment. I’ve been doing a little bit of research and it’s easier than I thought to get all of the paper work to start the business. The hard part is going to be organizing the website, which I would be putting together and advertising. Does anyone have any advice?
