Looking back at some of my digital manipulations, I know I've made some silly errors. Maybe that's what makes this blog, Photoshop Disasters, so dang funny! Be sure to check out Madonna's microcephalic head here. Good stuff! I should add, too, that this is a great site to send to women (or men!) struggling with body image issues. Especially those who think that cover models, celebrities, etc *really* look that way. Take this as an example.Labels: fat stuff, recommendations, web

No, it's not about horror stories from Iraq, but with a little bit of autumnal (read the start of Halloween-season) chill in the air this morning, I did hit upon a fun, albeit ghoulish site: skulladay.comLabels: recommendations, web
I thought I really ought to post about blogs that I read with regularity. There are quite a few so I'll mention 'em at random rather than doing a "blog roll". If you want to see my "blog roll", ask for my favorites file. Here's the first recommendation... Shorpy the 100-Year-old Photo Blog. For the love of old photos! Most photos are 1930's and older. A great time killer and quite entertaining. They started publishing a scant few months ago, but their archive of pages is HUGE. If you have two hours to kill, sit back and start clickin'! I love, too, that they provide large size copies of all of the images so that you can see pretty decent detail. To help provide a "fat" angle, the woman pictured to the side of this post is proof that there were fat/chubby people long before the supposed "epidemic".Labels: recommendations, web
The stats that they project on there are interesting. Most of my visitors have attended college, are in the 18-24 age category and make less than 30K a year. Hopefully, when ya'll get older, that college education will do you some good! Actually, I think the stats are probably pretty bogus since there's no definitive way to quantify such things with web access. For instance, through my work, we all access the internet through one external port. 400 people, of VERY different income levels, ages and educational levels all access the internet via one IP. Unless everyone were to have a "statisitics cookie" in their browser, there's no way to track such things by IP address alone. Ah, well, it's interesting nonetheless.

Putting the site back online is a bit tricky. I keep finding things that were omitted and shouldn't have been. Goddess Garden, being one of them. That's an early, early piece, but shouldn't have been overlooked.
OH, and there's a new Photo Selection of the Week, too. Keeping with tradition, the Photo of the Week feature will be updated on Wednesdays.Labels: web
I moved my site recently to a new host and my blog suffered a bit. Well, not so much suffered as I wasn't able to update, nor did I know I had beautiful comments! Thanks for commenting. Ya'll are beautiful!
During the last week I:
-- mowed more lawns than I really should have. I'm trying to help out with a few of the back 40 duties. Combine the fact that I'm out of shape with hot temps, and you've got one tired girl at the end of a mowin' day. I really need to do it more often, and intend to do so to keep my body movin'!
-- attended some SharePoint Portal classes. We're upgrading to SharePoint at work. A couple of things scare me about Microsoft whenever they get their mits on web design. No, make that one thing -- THEMES. Anyone who's worked with FrontPage probably knows about these beasts. What's really scary is that 8 years(about that anyway) after they came out with their ugly FrontPage themes, they really haven't improved when it comes to SharePoint themes. Butt ugly. Granted, SharePoint doesn't have the ugly "candy" or "road kill" theme, but seriously, their themes are still ugly enough to guarantee that simple web designers like me will continue to have a job.
...more later! Have a good day!

Am I the ~only~ one that thinks that My Space is a giant style vacuum? It’s an ugly, annoying, personalized cross between Yahoo Groups and Geocities sites. So, of course I had to have one. Well, only so I could join a friend of mine’s site. You know give the rah-rah-support-ya-tons in this ugly venture kind of prop. Luckily, I have no idea what the login was. Bottom line, can we delete My Space now? Its 15 minutes has come and gone. Pull the plug!!

I'm stuck in a "webinar" right now. It's one of those presentation type webinars where the first half hour is an advertisement for the company that's hosting. If I were queen of the world, advertising at the beginning of seminars/webinars would be illegal. Luckily it *is* a webinar and I'm able to go off and browse around when the presenters are repetitive, boring and or wearing too much the used-car-salesman cologne.

My blog is worth $2,822.70.
How much is your blog worth?

If so, where the heck are ya? The silence is deafening. Let me know you're there by putting yourself on my map. http://www.frappr.com/catay My friend Bobber sent me info on this a while ago. I wonder if he'll get on the map? Hmmm? Anyway, it's a fun little free program. I hope to see you "out there".Labels: web
