A fellow blogger, Roy Ackerman commented on this post, so I decided to read it. Well it was endorsed by a reputable source 🙂 The post is a response to a challenge, so I am doing it myself and passing it on – 99 Things I love – 1. Photography 2. Poetry 3. Walking 4. Gadgets […]
I use Blogger for my posts. I am not always happy with their quirky twists and turns; but I am also not prepared to move seven years of blogs over to another platform. I can’t believe that I have had this weblog since 2006. OK some years I just posted a few pieces, however, this
I was tossing around an idea in my last post about the word “blog.” I hated the sound of it because it was synonymous with very mundane terms such as, Fred Bloggs. I was hoping to find a more elevated name for the diaries or daily posts of millions of people. I suggested that the
Yesterday, I posted about my favourite word, so I felt that I needed to post about my least favourite word. Even though I post almost daily to my weblog, I hate the word “blog.” It has overtones of Joe Bloggs, Fred Bloggs, Joe Schmoe etc. Wikipedia has an interesting explanation of the use of these

Another example of the power of networks. I was reading a blog posted in the Ultimate blog Challenge today and they mentioned that their post was the result of a prompt from the site, Five Minute Fridays. Here are the rules: We write for five minutes flat. All on the same prompt that I post here
I was reading a blog post today by another author, Jairam Mohan, who got the idea for the post from the site Just Write. They post regular prompts, such as the italicized script below, which you use somewhere in your writing. Here is Jairam’s use of the sentence, Ben and his kite. The dark clouds rolled
Sometimes I have difficulty writing because I don’t have an idea. Today I have too many and I can’t make up my mind. For example: 1. The name, Cox’s Orange Pippin’, popped into my head. I thought, OK, I can write a post on apples. A quick wikipedia search told me that there are over
Today I did more keying into Google of random words to see what would come up. In fact, I actually keyed in the word “random.” Well, this amazing collection of photographs came up from a NY gallery named “rANDOM.” Click on the link for an fabulous slide show of modern photography. Then I found a
