Mostly about the Sun System Handbook

your brain is very complex
you simply must see this:
famous optical illusion
This reminds me that on our recent vacation to see my family in Winthrop, Massachusetts, my family went crazy over this trick Greg taught me.
For righties: Cross your right knee over your left.
rotate your right ankle to circle your foot CLOCKWISE.
Now draw a big 6 in the air with your right hand.
Can you do it? Is your foot still circling clockwise? It isn't.

Georgia O'Keefe
So many people have admired this picture taken by my step daughter Sadie.
I thought I would post it here and just remark on her Georgia O'Keefe style.
Her brother Isaac has a Bierstadt style.
And big Daddy Tom has this one recent photo that he doctored with Photo Impressions that is postively Van Gogh.
It's nice to see Tom developing a photography style. Especially in portraits.
I can tell Tom took the picture. Actually, I think it is a mild distortion or possibly a lighting feature.
And it might even be my stigmatism becoming more acute. does that happen?
His people portraits are getting really nice - almost as nice as his bug portraits. Enjoy! Sadie O'Keefe
I just realized that Sudha likes this picture a lot and it's pink!

My mini iPod is pink
I so love my mini iPod.
I had it inscribed. It says 'Je m'appelle Christine et j'aime Tommy'.

Then Sudha ruined it for me by calling it a Barbie toy.
Probably because it's pink.
It's NOT a Barbie toy. It's a mini iPod. So what if it's pink?

I realize now she is just jealous.
I do so love my mini iPod.

Anyway another nice thing about my Sun Ray is the easy use keyboard audio controls.
Another nice thing about my new office is I can listen to music without having to
use my head phones. Yes, I tested it. My neighbors cannot hear. I mean my
music is not bothering my neigbors.
