Where Are You Heading?
2007-04-12 01:37:00
Father of Taoism, Lao Tzu said: "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you're heading." Where are you heading right now? What direction are your habits taking you in?

The Worst That Can Happen?

My Visit to Conwy
2007-04-17 21:03:00
A couple of weekends ago, I spent my time visiting Conwy in North Wales - and today, I'd like to share a few of my pictures. Conwy is a fantastic walled town in Caernarfonshire, in the upper parts of Wales. One of it's big attractions is Conwy Castle itself, built by Edward I back in the 1200's. But more interesting to me is the fact that Conwy is a walled town, meaning it's entirely enclosed

What's Your Filter?
2007-04-19 01:44:00
Last week, I headed out into a nearby city to have dinner with friends. During the evening, I bumped into an old associate. I won't give his name, but let's just say he's one of the "street cred" guys that I don't normally get along with too well. One of those people I view as a bit vain, a bit too much hard work, someone to whom image is everything. The guy came up to me during the evening

2007-06-20 04:20:00

Charles Perrault, who wrote the version of Cinderella we're all so familiar with,

Welcome to another exciting Friday Factoid ! And today, I'm asking... "What animal are the Canary Islands named after?" The answer is DOGS. Of course.

2007-05-04 03:41:00
Welcome to another weird and wacky Friday Factoid ! Today, I'm asking... "What did Atlas carry on his shoulders?" And by Atlas, of course, I'm referring to the Titan of Greek mythology. You've seen his statue, no doubt. Most people would answer the question simply. He's holding the earth, fool! But he's not. That famed image of Atlas actually depicts him holding not the earth... But the
