The Quiet One

Dodge a big snow bullet!

Dodge one major snow bullet today. Carol who lives south of me by Harrisburg, is dealing with about two feet of snow. My aunt Jean who lives in Virgina, also got about two feet of snow. Me what did I get out this storm?

Nothing !!!

Not a single flake,best to my knowledge, fell. I was looking forward to at least 1-2 inches of snow. Just to make everything look pretty.  As you can see, later on in the day, got some sun and blue sky.

However, looks like on Tuesday night into Wednesday snow will be coming down. And I don't think we'll be missing this one.

Now going watch the ARCA race. Danica Patrick do everybody a big favor. go to the back of the pack and stay there!!

Oh yes, this makes me happy!

Ah yes, this does make me very happy. Today I got stitches out my mouth!! In the end they were driving me crazy & causing some pain in one area. So next week I’ll go back to the  main dentist and see about getting  kind of timetable put together.

And no, I’m still not missing work.  Yea, I’m bad and not regretting it. 

Woke up to a little snow today. Made everything look fairy tale like. On the way back from dentist and shopping. The sun started to peek out, so I figure, if it clear up, I could go for a walk. Hahaha. Instead it remain cloudy, at times looking like a snow squall was about roar through the area. The sun did venture the slits in the clouds but that’s about it. For the weekend, depending on what forecast you see. it will either be a dump aka a foot of snow or just snow showers. I’ll just take 4 inches this time.

Well at least for this weekend, I finally have my auto racing to watch again. I’m hoping for a better year of racing. I’m looking forward to this Saturday ARCA race. If all goes well, it will be Danica Patrick’s first race in a Nascar type car. My gut feeling is, she going cause a wreck. Truthfully, she not that great of a driver.  

As you can see above, that's the 2nd Art Journal Caravan challenge. We were to recreate this person personal art journal. It was fun. I used some my digital scrapbooking stuff to create some the pieces and rest are Photoshop brushes I have gotten. I think most the scrapbooking items are from Tangie. I wrote it down but I can't find the paper.

Was going post it at the gallery where the challenge is taken place. But I decides not to later on. There's a few things that I'm having a problem with over there. So I'll just keep the pages here. Still working on this week's challenge. One idea was plan but I think I'll do the other challenge instead.

Superbowl this week!! Rooting for the Colts. The only thing I'm going miss this Superbowl is my bag of Doritos. There's no way I can eat them now. 

Was going post a photo -

Was going post a photo of a sow squall that came through last Thursday. But you know me, just simple had to play around with the photo. Have to admit, that's better than another shot of snow. Has such an ereie look to it.

Right now, I'm doing good, some the stitches are falling out. Including the two that were driving crazy this weekend. Looking forward to rest to come on Wednesday.

Can't belive some the stuff that being said about the iPad. Enough already, give it a chance first.  In the end, might ruin the chance of getting a tablet computer from Apple. I'm sure in the end, Apple & Adobe will come to some kind of agreement about flash. Or better yet, Apple make their own flash.  I agree with some people, the flash is overkill on a lot of site.   

Tomorrow, I'll play catch with the Art Journal Caravan stuff, have been keeping that up.

iPad !!!!!!!!! on my wishlist already!!

(Note- this was suppose be publish last night 1/27 but I lose my internet connection when I hit the publish button)

 Oh yea, it was worth the wait!!!

iPad is here! Oh Yes!! it rocks in my opinion. 

First thing, I did go to court and the bad patron got smart and pleaded guilty. So didn't have to testified either. So when I got home, headed straight for the computer -

and found out my internet was down. LOL!!!

I guess there was a problem or too many people was trying to see the new iPad. I landed up turning on the news on the Tv to see it. I did let out a big sigh when I saw the prices of it. All under a $1,000   Glad to see there will be iPad version of Pages. That was the first one thing I was hoping for.  The other thing was a ebook reader.  Forget about the B&N.com Nook, this one will probably better in the end. Due to the fact you can do more than just read with it. Another plus for me.

Unlike some people, who I read their comments the Macrumor.com. I don't see the limitations of the iPad, I see the potential of it. Yes it doesn't have a camera for taking picture or doing video. Nor does it have a few other things they were wishing for. But who to say that the next one won't have a camera. Maybe there was a problem with the camera they wanted to use. It's a first of it's kind, give it a chance!! Let the software developers have chance to create programs for it. I think some people expectation were a little too high for this one.  Some were hoping for more a computer like device but a touchscreen iMac is being created.

This need to be successful, because only then can we truely get a tablet computer later on. Then again, knowing Apple, they are working on that too. However, I'm sure once people really get hold of this iPad and start telling everybody how wonderful it is. More people will stop complaining about it.

Now will I buy one later on this year. Yes, unlike some people it does fit my need. It's a safe bet by the time I buy mine, there will a lot more programs to run on it. Who knows maybe a lite photoshop to use. Plus any oops will fix too. Maybe this spring I'll start rolling that shoe box of loose change. Might at least have $200  

Yea, I survived

Yes I survived my ordeal. Now have a mouth full of stitches, the pain is pretty gone. Except now and then the bottom teeth bites to hard on the top gum. Oh course, yesterday I developed one my famous all day headaches. With that, I pretty much stay in bed.

I was looking so forward to spending Wednesday afternoon in front of the iMac, keeping up with Apple media event. It's a pretty sure bet they'll be annoucing the new tablet. However yesterday I got a subpoena to appear in court because of the very bad library patron. It will be a 50% chance I'll have to testify  against him. Trust me, I hope he pleads guilty!

Anyway, the big question about the new Apple tablet is, what is its name. So far I heard, iSlate, iTablet and iPad. I personally I like iSlate but part of me would like Apple to get anyway from i thingy. This could be a big thing, so why not give it a unique name. it would be great if I could read book like my iPod touch or my favorite rumour, some kind of iWorks is loaded on it. Oh yea that would rock!! Well, that is going to be my biggest highlight for the coming week. Ranks up there with not having to go to work.

Looking forward to taking a walk everyday, with the hopes it staying somewhat decent. This would really give me real chance to test out the Rebel camera.  Some point I got to decide what news lens to get for it and stop being afraid of that part of the camera.
