Snakes in the Garden

It has been a couple sevendays now since the babes were born and currently they are either sleeping or being tended to by the healers. Madri has stolen a rare moment for herself in all the chaos of newfound motherhood to read up on the copious reports streaming her way from R'ish and the others. Located at the far end of the garden, under that fateful tree is where she's curled up and munching on a simple redfruit. Waaaaaaay in the back, behind the tuber plants and rows of long tallish frond... read more

This week’s lecture was about   walled gardens and creative commons, two completely opposite ideas. Walled gardens being areas where content is restricted, and creative commons being a concept that allows free use of content. I read the recommended reading article and to tell you the truth, it really scares me. Luckily I found an article stating that the wall around AOL is being knocked down so that makes me feel a little better. After years of roaming the wide open spaces of the World...

Sorry about my last post being so odd for most of you - I meant to post it to damnportlanders ... ah well. No harm done I guess. Finally got the results back on the barium swallow - all normal. Again, good news. But alas, still don't know what's wrong. I'm just pleased that the pro-biotics are making me feel more normal and I'm slowly climbing out of the bad heath situation. Today was the first day I didn't have ANY toast. There is a God. Still not ready to give up the yogurt though. Speaking...

As I was driving home - or rather, balancing my car on the clutch in the stop-start that is friday night traffic on the A34 - listening to Chris Zico yowling away over the stereo, I realised that I had three dilemmas.

Do I chance everything on the impression I have of a young man? Do I, in short, trust...

I was in a huge place that had the feel of a garden center, but wasn't. There were huge square, low ponds that stood about 1.5 feet off the ground and they were laid out in a grid. the place had a concrete floor and the ceiling was just black mesh garden-fabric that loosely hung high above and blew in the wind. at first, we were just looking for the snakes. it was a beautiful morning in the cool shade of the place, it really was. there was a snake in every corner of each of these ponds (the ponds...

Things are pretty nice right now. I've been having way too much fun with Yahoo Avatars . And thankfully the screen-shot function on MGI PhotoSuite allows me to take a picture of the avatar while it's still in the editing window. Trust me, when you try to download it/save it to your computer it's horribly blurry and the resolution is absolute hell, so thank the Goddess for the screen-shot function! And so, I'm going to upload all of them to LJ so I can use the Img tag to add them to different...
