In an earlier post I talked about Kickstarter.com and mentioned a project that a designer, I know, is hoping to get off the ground. Today, I decided to take a look at some of the other projects on the site. I hadn’t gone very far when I saw FlyKly. Just to put things in perspective, my […]
Have you heard of Kickstarter.com? I hadn’t until yesterday. It is a site that garners funding for art and other creative projects. I found out about it because a knitting designer that I have known for years wanted to publish her video on stranded knitting, however, she didn’t have the funds to do it. Enter
This post was the result of a conversation at dinner last night. Somehow, we got to talking about Yogi Berra. We mentioned a few of his more famous quotations and I said, that I bet, if I looked up some more, I could write a post on them. Well here goes… 1. “It ain’t over,

The other members included: George Harrison – I liked the Beatles, but didn’t
I was skimming through the paper today, when I came across an article that actually mentioned my street. This is rare. The article was about the tricky business of street parking. We live in the inner city, in an area that was probably developed in the late 1920’s or early 30’s. This means that they
OK it is a little dramatic, but I am always amazed by the time and effort that some people put into celebrating Hallowe’en. The most avid start early, some as early as the end of September. Although there are pumpkins available in the stores before October, it’s really too early to put them out, because
The other day I posted that I needed to connect to a few more twitter platforms. I like, but don’t need, the app by which my plants can remind me to water them. I just have to take one look at their drooping leaves. This is not rocket science!! No, the connection that I really
Just when you think that you have seen everything, along comes a concept that reminds you that you have only just scratched the surface.
