Planned trip to Dallas


I have a planned trip to Dallas this weekend and have plans of hitting the new Apple Store in NorthPark. I have no idea where this is, so I will be getting my local guide to get me there. Maybe I will be able to get Jessica, my step-daughter and Chelsea, Clint's wife to do things with Bailey, for a few hours so I can get in some me time.
As a longtime user and advocate of the Mac platform, I have yet to make it to a Apple Store. I look forward to this, though I don't think I will have much cash for anything worthwhile. I might pick a book or two.
I came across a great contest site, cdcovers.cc, for CD Covers. But they do not do music covers, and would also want more than just the Front Cover. They want the booklets too. I do a lot scanning, and this would be annoying and time consuming to do this kind of scanning at the quality they want. 300dpi scan would still take some time to scan, open the image in a graphics editor and then to do any post processing of the image. Still they are giving out some nice prizes.

The contest, launched in August 2007 on YouTube, gave people between the ages of 18 and 30 the chance to submit short videos on the subject of what they expect their lives to be like at age 50. The goal of the U@50 Challenge was to encourage intergenerational dialogue enabling young people to speak their minds and give AARP insight into their views. More than 50 videos were submitted from across the country and from t...

Seaside

Meet me in the waves so we can gently rock upon the sand and fall upon each other within the darkness of the deepest sea and give to the ocean her song of stillness Let us sway with her sea grass like a flag of beauty that she brings to battle For every mountain swallowed within her is but a grain of sand placed in an oyster shell Even the islands will be her gown upon our wedded bliss Her rains will come to the highlands and bear down fruit of many trees Though man will divert the rivers and dam the flows Oh the patience of the water will break down and erode every low place to deep canyons We will pool and calm the lake waters until it is clear like a crystal ball in our hands
