I just got this in my email and thought it was great! It’s an an open letter from Ireland to their brethren in the States. It’s an enjoyable read regardless of your political affiliation.
We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the [...]
My great-great-great-grandfather, William Schreckengost, was a gunsmith in the mid-1800s. He raised a family in Western Pennsylvania and made distinctive long-rifles designed to shoot from the forearm (for accuracy) and sometimes outfitted with dual, over-under barrels. One of these beauties is still in the family after all these years, being passed down through [...]
Gerard Baker of the London Times just put out a brilliant, hilarious, and scarily portentous piece titled He ventured forth to bring light to the world parodying Barack Hussein Obama’s recent European glory-tour. The writing is filled with Biblical references so if you’re a heathen you may not “get” some of it… but it’s [...]
I have been playing with my photography a bunch lately. Both taking shots with our new Canon G9, and then post-processing them in several of Adobe’s sweet tools, like Lightroom and Photoshop. I am amazed at how much work goes into the professional photographs we see in print media every day to get [...]
We spent the Fourth of July out at my folks’ in Olean, NY. I got some delicious homemade German Chocolate Cake for my birthday, and we enjoyed fireworks from about a mile away. I experimented with the Canon G9 by snapping some fireworks at full zoom while the camera was “attached” to a [...]
I begged them to implement the WordPress.COM avatar-generation option for the WordPress.ORG software… and in THIS version they did! That means that if a commenter doesn’t have a Gravatar (although everyone SHOULD!) I can instead have their supplied email address generate an avatar for them – like a special geometric pattern (identicon) or a [...]
Supports Wordpress 2.6+
This is a snazzy dark grey theme with splashes of greenery (hence the name). The original template is an open-source design by Pat Heard from FullAhead.org.
I have included, as of Version 2.0, an Adobe Photoshop template file that allows the painless creation of custom theme “middle-space” images (hint: the “middle-space” is the large [...]
Supports Wordpress 2.6+
This is a clean, snappy theme that is a conversion of the public domain template by the same name designed by the folks at SixShooterMedia. I really liked the style and class of this template so I converted it just for fun. I intend on periodicaly updating it with small tweaks [...]
Supports Wordpress 2.6+
Clean, classy, and crimson… that’s the best way to describe this theme. It supports widgets and discriminating tastes, and as you can see it’s fairly light with a fine classy polish. The navigation tabs add some transparent wow, and the look and feel is easy to sink into. This latest version of the [...]
I’m swamped with to-do’s. I won’t even start listing them… but one is to get our new Watkins Glen pictures up on my gallery (and by extension, Flickr… or vice versa). I also need to “discover” craigslist and put a bunch of furniture on there. Oh yeah, and upgrade WordPress to 2.6 [...]
I like it! thanks…..:))
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
