More Flickr Fun
Flickr is very addictive. Two of my photos made it to Flickr’s Explorer (top 500 highest interestingness) according to Scout and the one below just got blogged on the We Are the Cat site by Terry Bain. Thanks Terry.
A Game of Cat and Mouse
You might notice I have added a flickr badge in the header of my blog (which wasn’t easy). I just got into using flickr yesterday and I am proud to announce I already have a photo that has been viewed over 1000 times and favorited fifteen times and its not even noon yet. This is […]
Google Notebook Status Bar Hog

Basically, assuming vampires started several hundred years ago, and that a vampire bites someone every month which creates a new vampire, the spread of vampires would grow exponentially and there would be no living humans left to feed on by now. That of […]
Spider Web Desktops
Here are a few more desktop wallpapers from photos I took that can be used for Halloween. They were taken early on a really foggy the morning last November when the spider webs were full of dew. My favorite is the one you can see the reflection of the tree upside down in the large […]
Halloween Desktops
I have talked a lot about digital cameras on this blog. Well, here are some shots taken with my Cannon PowerShot S2 IS that I think make great Halloween desktops. I have been using them. They are golden silk (banana) spiders taken in Louisiana. Maybe not the scariest spiders if you are familiar with them, […]
What is in Your Halloween Candy?
Believe me, you don’t want to know. Bugs, and not how you might imagine. Details here. Not that bad I guess since I have been eating the stuff for years, but I wish I didn’t find out.
