I have my photo gallery over at Pbase.com. I really like being able to just upload a zip file and have the site process my images and create all the thumbnails. One major con though is that the site tends to be slow. But now they are upgrading their hardware, and they've posted photos of their new machines. Yep, that's right, Sun boxes. And I'm not talking about some 1U boxes, but a Sun Fire V890. Very sexy!

Another storm system came through the Bay Area yesterday. The clouds were low and hugging the hilltops by my house, and the occasional break would allow sunbeams to light up sections of the hills. A small cloud was particularly low, and my daughter said "Look daddy a puff of smoke." "Hmmm yeah. That's actually a cloud." I replied. She was fascinated. Earlier she had wanted to go to top of the hills to see the cows. I explained that the hills were too steep and muddy. She then said "if we could go up there we could touch the cloud." "Yep, we sure could" I smiled. She was silent for a moment and kept staring at the cloud. Suddenly she told me "we could ride the moon up to the top of the hill. But it would have to be this shape" and she made a shape with her hands. "Oh does she have to be full?" I asked. She shook her head "no it has to be this shape" and she tried to make a half moon shape. "Oh. Why does it have to be that shape?" "So we can sit on her and not fall off. She would come down and we would sit on her and she would take us to the top of the hill so we could touch the cloud" she patiently explained. "Yep I think that would work" I nodded seriously to her. She nodded in return and went back to staring at the cloud.

I used to always confuse Bread with Blood, Sweat and Tears. I have no idea why - they have totally different sounds. Both of their tapes were highly played though during my 8-track period. I'm pretty sure we wore them out.
Today's selection for Song of the Day is "Baby I'm-A Want You" by Bread. A nice big serving of soft rock coming up ...
"Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me ..."
