The Postcard that Started it All

Got this postcard and mostly ignored it until I talked to my account. He said that it was time to buy. That got me started looking. Alas, when I went to the development advertised in the postcard there was the model building and then one small group of homes on the opposite end of the development with a giant section in the middle with paved streets and graded lots but no homes. This appeared to be a clear sign that this development began before the economy stalled and then ran out of money. There was a huge difference between what they were describing on the website and what I found at the development. I drove on without talking to anyone. Oh yeah, all the creases and folds in the postcard come for the weeks that it was in my pocket. Ack.

Sitting in my dining area I want more screen real-estate and want to control my iTunes playing on the Mac Mini in the bedroom. Teleport and Mac OS X share-screen function to the rescue. Teleport, possibly a descendant of the much loved synergy, was recommended by iJustine on MBW #133.

I was bitching last week about feeling like the only one I knew using the ‘Net to connect with family, so my sister surprised me this morning with this amazing photo of my nephew, Danny, on stage playing with his band. It’s a friggin’ awesome photo. Now that’s what I’m talking about, as far as using the web to share stuff. Kat & flickr (& Danny) FTW! jbb

Thank God for my handy blue-light LED flashlight. It was really really dark when all the lights went out after a lightning strike somewhere in the area. We were in the dark for over an hour. It was getting toasty in the apartment but the time the power came back on. ick. Can’t imagine what the folks who’ve gone days or weeks without must feel like (& i hope I never have to). jbb

Will the disgrace never cease?! The tranquility of this peaceful place has now been replaced by a bold pirate marking his spot in the sand… [sadness]. jbb

It’s been raining NONSTOP since before 5pm yesterday. The rain isn’t coming down in buckets, but combined with how long it’s been raining and the wind… this storm can move on now… jbb

Ir’s taken nearly a month, but I’ve finally gotten my copy of Final Cut Studio, a perk of being on-staff @ Full Sail University. If you’re not so sure whether this is a perk, just check out the retail price for FCP. All I can say is “Happy Boy.” BTW, with all of the instruction books and heavy shipping box this “package” had to weigh over 10 pounds. jbb

You know you’re way too into your phone when you move your furniture to accommodate the coverage, or lack thereof. I just wanna be done with that cluttered in the corner/empty spaces and walls just moved-in look. jbb
