Technology Blues (or maybe reds)

Posted in life, technology, tagged , on November 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

A little break from all things Australian.
Last week I lost my cell phone.  I couldn’t find it when it was time to turn the alarm on at bedtime.  Finally, it occurred to me that I had it just before I turned on the washing machine.  Sure enough, it was in my pants pocket.  The pants [...]

The Rebellious Philosopher

Posted in life, tagged , , on September 23, 2009 | 8 Comments »

A post on Red Ravine reminded me of a story that happened many years ago, when I was in high school.  It’s abut rules and following them, or not.  I’ve written about it previously, in fact I thought I had published it on this blog but I can’t find any trace of it.  It mysteriously [...]

Proverb

Posted in family, life on September 9, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I was watching a TV show the other evening and they ended it with a Mexican proverb which I had never heard.  It’s an interesting one.  I haven’t been able to stop thinking of it.   I’ll give it to you below.  See what you make of it.  I’ll probably write a post on it when [...]

School Supplies

Posted in life, tagged , , on September 8, 2009 | 7 Comments »

When my kids were in school, we would get general school supplies before school began each September.  We’d get things like binder paper, ink pens, correction fluid, binders, and backpacks.  However, we always waited until the first day of school to get all the other things because each teacher had specific things they liked their [...]

Yup.
My daughter gave this to me to let me know her news and mine.  End of February…beginning of March.
I’ve actually known for about 5 weeks but she hadn’t told her dad yet so I couldn’t blog about it.

Inconsequential Things

Posted in life on September 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »

1.  I really don’t understand why kids are on Face Book.  I mean kids…like 9 and 10.
2.  Face Book used to be nice.  I could go on and comment on stuff and do a back and forth.  However, now I am getting all these requests to add people to my friends that actually are restricting [...]

How iTunes Defeated Me

Posted in life, tagged , , , , , on August 23, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I usually feel quite comfortable with most technological issues, using them at least.  I’m not a know it all by any means but I’m a quick study and I can pick things up the first time through, okay maybe twice for some things.  I’m usually the one that helps others to figure out both their [...]

I aim here only at revealing myself, who will perhaps be different tomorrow, if I learn something new which changes me.

Assorted Thoughts

Posted in In the news, diabetes, health care, life, travel on August 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »

1.  Tonight I watched Little Women, the 1990’s remake.  I hadn’t seen it before.  I’m glad I watched it.  It reminded me that I should pick up the book once again.  The last time I read it I was in fifth grade!  It has been over forty years.  Definitely time to pick it up again.
2.  [...]

Boy Interrupted

Posted in TV, death, family, life, suicide on August 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’ve been restless for a couple of days.  I’ve also been fighting depression which has been a problem for me in the past ten or so years.  Then tonight I turned to HBO On Demand for a distraction and came across a documentary called Boy Interrupted.  The synopsis told me it was a film made [...]
