Opening Your Creative Eye
Shameless cross-post here. I've started a series on nurturing your own creativity over on my other blog, Tactile Arts Play Group.

The Computer Is A Great Time-Wasting Device
Seriously. I love my computer; it helps me do all kinds of things, but it also helps me waste huge amounts of time (as if I needed the help, right?). For example, yesterday, I spent several hours doing puzzles at JigZone. I've always loved puzzles, and they have a lot of good ones at this site. Choose your picture and choose how many and what kind of pieces you want, and have at it.

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything here, but I saw this article and had to share it.

Leaf Blowers
I hate leaf blowers. They're noisy and smelly, and not really very good at moving leaves from where they are to where you want them to be. Not to mention spending all that gas.
For doing the job, I think a rake (or on pavement, a broom) is much more effective. You can push the leaves exactly where you want them to go - first time, every time - instead of having to chase them hither and yon as with a leaf blower. A rake or broom is also much quieter, doesn't require gas or produce pollution. What more could you ask for?
So here's the question:
Given a choice between (a) a tool that is effective, efficient, and eco-friendly, and (b) a tool that is inefficient, both in terms of performing the task and its use of resources, which would you choose?
Obviously, the logical answer is (a). So why is (b) the most common answer?

It's Been Awhile...
Boy, it's been quite awhile since the last time I posted here. Sorry aout that. I've been busy, and a little down. I felt as if I had nothing to say, so why post?
I suppose the biggest news is that i joined WeightWatchers in late September. As of last Saturday's weigh in, I've lost just over 20 pounds. I've got quite a bit more to lose, but I'm well on the way. At first, I was just doing it online, but last month I started going to meetings as well; I figured I could use the extra help, especially during the holidays.
