I was turned on to another good site offering skills and tutorials for making the websites look spectre.  I advise that you give them a peek, I think you’ll find something of interest.

Cool, no?

More accurately I am referring to life here in Portland, Oregon.  Having spent the last three days battling the flu I can tell you that I’d rather be hit by a truck, less pain involved.  My activities have been limited to what I can accomplish while sitting at my desk, although I did manage to inflate the tires on my bicycle in hopes that I will be well enough to ride to work in the morning.

Also, kudos to Netflix.  I found out quite by accident that Netflix now allows multiple devices to stream instant viewing from a single account.  I do not recall getting a single message from Netflix announcing this new feature and I assume it was a quiet rollout to keep a handle on bandwidth.  But regardless, it works quite well and brings tremendous value to me as a Netflix customer.  At any given time there are at least three PC’s streaming video or music or gaming over our home network and now we do not have to have a schedule set up when someone wants to watch a movie or TV show.  Nice job Netflix!

Another fun but pointless little project that I have been playing around with has been using my old webcam to create time lapse videos.  Nothing award winning so far, just doing it to pass the time.

Not motivated.  About anything.  And yes, I am feeling melancholy.  I may attempt a charcoal drawing in a bit.  I tend to get upbeat whenever I complete an art project even if the final piece is not that great.  But at the moment, it feels like a tremendous chore just tapping out these few words.
