I found this image on TeVA in the William Strickland Sketchbook section... it is interesting how perfect the lines are when he used pen & ink. It's cool that you can select a small portion of any image and it will zoom in really close in another window.

LPLS database madness

I have been looking on the Smithsonian Global Sound database. I searched for hardanger (fiddle) music and there were 4 tracks! wow, so cool! Also I browsed through the folk songs from Norway region. I am half Norwegian so I figure I should hear some of the old songs from there heehee! I reckon I'd recommend this site to a patron when they're wanting to learn about their ancestry or customs of different places, esp. old customs.
Hail Odin!

RSS feeds

It makes me happy that we can subscribe to scientific journals and the cutting edge research going on in the labs! My aunt has an article posted somewhere about her research on lung cells, but I haven't found it in blog form yet. Technorati seems to work well if you know what to look for.

Flickr Retrievr

The sketch application on Flickr is neato... It could be used to telepathically know what some one is thinking or to answer some sort of question in the sketcher's mind. Otherwise, it is a very off-the-wall way of searching for images. oh, I guess if one is making a collage it is extremely useful.

7.5 Habits...

The most difficult is setting goals. It has always irritated me to put that sort of pressure on myself. I get enough stress from external sources! hehehe! Everything else on the list is easy to do- the most easy being the 7.5th= play... haha

test#2 picture posting... looks like it worked.

These are Daguerreotypes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daguerreotype In the mid 19th century to early 20th century, it was common for families to have these made in memorium of their deceased loved ones. The portraits were usually of the corpse.
