My dog has quite the sitcom kind of life. Months ago, a blog I frequent (I come for the politics, I stay for the pet pictures) said they were running low on pet rescue stories, so I sent them my dog’s story. Today it was the “early morning open thread.” Then when I get home, I see . . . → Read More: Famous to infamous, all in one day I’ll take any small shred of good news to come out of the three-disaster pile-up in Japan, and this definitely qualifies in my book: not only is the start of the baseball season going to be delayed, but they are going to forego night games for the first part of the season. This latter concession is . . . → Read More: File this under “silver linings” You're gonna need a bigger purse. I just found a New York Times article (hurry before the paywall goes up!) that confirms something I’ve thought for a long time — phones are just rude. A necessary evil. I just knew I couldn’t be the only person who hated that feeling that I had to drop whatever . . . → Read More: Well *that’s* a relief! …and he will predict the weather for you! Yes, it’s Groundhog Day, and Phil was dragged out of bed, offered what looked like a Pepperidge Farm Milano cookie, and predicted an early spring. Though from the crowd reaction, he might have also predicted a Steelers win on Sunday — check out them Terrible Towels a-flyin’! . . . → Read More: Offer a whistlepig a cookie… I’m trying out a new site — Pinterest (thanks, RT)! As averse as I am to online social sites, this one is different; it doesn’t care what I had for dinner and people can’t ‘poke’ me. Instead you build visual collections, and as a designer it’s a throwback to the paper tickler files I used to . . . → Read More: Anything pinteresting going on? Of what, I’m not quite sure. I didn’t think the rental housing market was quite . . . → Read More: It’s a sign! Yep, the holiday train is bearing down on all of us (which makes me think of this song — this version is from a Rock Hall induction), and I’m having two jewelry shows! It’s been a couple of years since my last one, and while I’d probably keep making jewelry no matter what, I really like . . . → Read More: Train keeps a-rollin’ Following up on the previous post, I did settle down and actually fabricate a finished piece while I had some time off, but I’m only now getting around to posting an image. It’s a lampworked glass ring mounted in a setting of stamped copper strips riveted together. Although I have some soldering capability, I’ve been wanting . . . → Read More: Celtic? Scandinavian? That’s what I’m hoping for — for myself! I am trying to develop some new jewelry ideas that have been germinating for almost a year, but the time and resources to gain and practice the necessary skills has just not been there. I have some vacation time coming up, and maybe by committing this to pixels . . . → Read More: Accountability, by God! An admitted “famewhore” who I will not name (kind of like how Yoko Ono asked that no one speak the name of the guy who killed John Lennon, why give him even more undeserved attention) recently decided that his next attempt at notoriety will come at the expense of the visual arts. Here’s the famewhore, explaining . . . → Read More: Quote for the day |
