Trying To Link Blog To My Facebook Page
I’m testing out a new plugin that claims to be able to cross-publish to Facebook (and vice versa).? I’ll believe it when I see it.
P and Marty
P went to Liberty with my mom to visit my Grandmother Marty at the end of the summer. She took our camera with her and took a bunch of really cool pictures. I love seeing how P sees the world and what she things of as worthy of recording. Everything from door handles on a rental car to the shadows on Marty’s courtyard. This is not one of her pictures, rather it was taken by my mom.
Listening Party
After a dry spell where I hadn’t heard anything terribly exciting and was doing more reading than listening to music I begin to have some hope that things might someday turn around. Until then, I’ll keep on reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy (recommended by Mr. Barbot) and occasionally listening to the following:
- Bloc Party – Silent Alarm Now also wondering if the new album due in October will be good.
- Beck – Guero “Girl” is the sweetest song I’ve never understood
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Baby 81 Rock is rock and rock and rock and rock is rock.
- Echo & the Bunnymen – Siberia A lost 80s gem…perhaps because it was recorded in 2005?
Late Summer Not The Best Time For Blogging
Do Schools Kill Creativity (TED Talk)
This is a brilliant talk by Ken Robinson about the nature of intelligence, creativity, and what our educational system is doing to kill it.? Do schools kill creativity?? Only if you go to class.
And In Every Home…
I’ve been keeping a sketchbook handy lately and though I’d post some drawings. This one is a bit of a repeating theme that came out better than usual. The first version is felt-tip marker. The second is all shined up in Photoshop.? Special thanks to my close personal friend Elvis Costello for the lyric.
Our New ADHD Blog
J and I have decided to start a new blog about our family and our experiences getting through life (or just the day) as four card-carrying members of the ADHD club. We’re not all medicated and all have different challenges that arise, at least in part, from the ADHD. Also, given that Julie is a super-powered hero of organizational strategies (organizational strategies – mind you – are quite different from actually being organized) it seemed like we might be able to give folks in similar situations some tips.
