10.12.07Protecting your children onlineAs a mother of a soon to be teenage girl, I worry that she may get herself into something not so comfortable or dangerous online. She is a smart girl. Yet, I remember what it was like to be a teenager. Somehow, teenagers think they are indestructible and parents are annoyingly overprotective. Parents don't get it. Today, I found this website, SocialSafety.org, which has a lot of great information about online safety. The website offers a free safety package available for download or by mail (US residents only). Another online resource is WiredSafety. Here is an online Teen Chat Decoder. Helping ...

10.08.07Faces in PlacesEver since I found Mr. Happy Coffee Face smiling back at me from the bottom of my coffee cup I try to take pics of faces that I see in the most unexpected places. Above is the handle of a garage door I pass almost daily. I have wanted to photograph it since I first saw it. Yesterday, I did. There is even a Faces in Places flickr group which has a blog.

10.05.07Go Pink for OctoberI have changed my website's theme in support of Go Pink for October. My mom told me my blog has been running a little slow lately. I think it is because I have been posting several pictures in my posts. I use flickr to host the photos which means each photo must load pulling from flickr which can slow the page down. I am not a fan of having to click a link to read the full post but this is a way around the loading problem. Let me know if the theme is loading bad or if you ...

10.05.07Keyboard is making up new languageOur keyboard is giving us some headaches. Each time I hit the key to make a period it makes this µ. The period is there it just has a µ before it. The µ pops up during my typing even when I am not using a period. It is playing hide and seek with me. Saturday, Vilay and I are going to go to the city to buy a new keyboard. I am happy it is that simple since not too long ago we were having issues with the computer booting up. I think I ...

10.01.07Two years of bloggingI forgot all about my blog anniversary on September 14th. I started this blog in 2005 not really thinking about what it would become. It has grown a little since then ;) and I have fabulous readers from around the world. I grabbed the Blogoversary badge above from blogoversary.com. It is a great idea to remind yourself of your blog's birthday. I know I have a problem remembering to remember mine. Since my blog is such a big part of my life it is only fair that I should think about it's creation each year and why I ...

09.14.07Leave Britney alone = Britney leave me aloneWhen I first watched this video with Vilay we laughed too hard for our own good. I can't think that this guy is serious in the video because if he is that is just way to scary. The end is the best when he says "she's not well right now"! Oh...And, he is? The most amazing part of all of these youtube videos are the video responses. I can't believe the people that took the time to make a serious response to the Leave Britney alone video. I wasn't surprised by the videos making fun, but ...

09.11.07Dance like no one is watchingYou have to click on over to dancelikenooneiswatching.com and watch the ferry time-lapse photos. Click here. It is well done. I promise you will enjoy it. Krigh Bachmann lives in Toronto, Canada. He has a professional website as well as his photoblog. I see more and more people connecting their professional lives to their personal lives online. It's like passing out your business card at a dinner party with friends or acquaintances. It is funny because when I first started blogging I thought it was kinda like dancing with no one watching. I very ...

09.09.07Blog Action Day - October 15th, 2007Blog Action Day is one day of united voices speaking out about the environment. Whether you think the world is going to be covered with water from melted ice or simply think we could be kinder to our environment...I think we would all agree that the environment is an important issue and deserves a day of action. Actually, it deserves 365 days of action. Wonder if there isn't a flickr group for that? :) So, you have a blog. What can you do? The best way to participate is to post on your blog something that relates ...

09.08.07My Celebrity Look-alikesWow...pretty mixed bunch I think. I think it's the eyebrows. :) Here is another one just for comparison! I tried one last time to see if I would get at least one celebrity a second time. Didn't happen. And, Woody Harrelson!!! I know he grew up in Ohio like me but seriously that gives me goosebumps.
