Christmas is Coming!

I decided that there is more than one way to kill a cat and there has to be more than one way to deal with technology. If you can't bring Mohammad to the mountain, then bring the mountain to Mohammad! I have tried all sorts of things to get this picture in my blog from Flickr and at this time of night I am just about ready to call it quits, but I hate being beaten! so if anyone is at all interested you can click on the link below (hopefully) and see the flower I chose! As if you all have enough time to do that!?!?!

In lots of ways technology has changed my world. I enjoy doing calligraphy - have done classes with top rated calligraphers from Melbourne, but guess what! Not many jobs come our way now as the computers can all design and produce a certificate/invitation/thank you/card etc and make them look very professional. I also now love designing and using the computer for producing all forms of communication and now consider it a type of art form! One thing I learnt from the master is that the white areas of any piece of work are as important as the writing and pictures!

Where would we be without email! I find that some days, I am checking it at every opportunity, just to make sure I haven't missed anything! At least I can communicate at a time when most others are tucked up and snoring. I hate telephones, and acknowledge their usefulness, but email is so unreliant (is that a word?) on the person on the other end being available at the split second that you require to get a message to them!

Advances, advances, advances. New technology today is old hat tomorrow and I wonder how we will ever keep up with or even find the need to keep up with all that is available at any one time!

I was just looking on Jenny's blog and noticed a lot of her blogging has been done near midnight and I thought "You sure have to be keen." But yours was done at before 6am in the morning. Wow! Man, that is almost the middle of my night. I am NEVER awake at that hour, never.

Now I have noticed that when I posted the last blog at 8.28 at night dthat the time was recorded as 3.27am so it looks like the time lies. Not flies, lies.

Surfing the time zones.... Somehow I think our posts are showing with US times attached. Either that or some of us are have a lot of trouble sleeping.....

Seriously - congratulations for presevering, even when at first you don't succeed...

Your flower picture is lovely- too bad it was so trying for you, hopefully it'll get easier as you go along. Keep up the good work!
