Ovation and a "Genius in Photography" Saturday
The Ovation network had hour after hour after hour of its Genius in Photography series this weekend. I ended up riveted to the screen from 7 to 11 p.m. this evening, eventually fading in and out of sleep. This was after attacking our household chores that I've neglected for years -- sorting out...

Name Change Considerations
I am thinking about changing my handle again. This time because I have done a basic change in my purpose. I am no longer decoding Shakespeare, so the name "Decshak" doesn't seem as appropriate as it did when I started at Blogit back in May of 2003. I suppose since I am changing to alternative energy...

Hawk Attack
In less than 2 seconds the Hawk strafed our feeders, attempting to hit a male Red-bellied Woodpecker. The Hawk must have been lurking on the other side of some nearby trees because none of the feeding birds seemed to be aware of its presence. It came in on a horizontal flight path. Before this...

Stock Research
I read an unsolicited advertisement for a stock yesterday -- such things as I usually simply toss in the trash -- and so far I like what I am reading. Mind you (and me) that I haven't double-checked any of the claims for Susta -- a natural alternative sweetener -- other than actually trying the...

T.G.I.F.
Correction: We have James Bond movies on SYFY today. Advertised was "A Midseason Finale" of Stargate Universe (SGU) I wonder what a midseason finale means? Does this mean we'll get more SGU in January? But isn't January the start of a new season? Later Note: I see Caprica comes in Jan. Oh well. It...

Two Days Hard Labor
Trying to get a primer coat of paint onto two walls of the outside of our house before Thanksgiving and cold weather setting in turned out to be more than a major chore, but I did it. I thought I wouldn't be able to lift my arms again today, after straining many muscles yesterday, but once I got...

Forgotten Connection
As I was "dreaming" of how to write my final paper I made a connection between Isabel and China Astor through their belief in dreams as prophetic, but both also dreamed of angels. China Astor was a story inside of Melville's The Confidence-Man His Masquerade, and Isabel was thought to be Pierre's...

Thumb Twiddling 2
The gold is metallic ink, and so are the pink and the silver. I have added a lot of lines that don't exist in the MindWare original outline. Sorry it isn't focused in parts of it.

Thumb Twiddling
Copyright © 2009 by Decshak No house-painting got done today, but I ran into a set of metallic gel-roller pens and got the idea to do a little bit of Mindware coloring book art. One thing led to another and voila. The center, of course, is supposed to be the sun. I probably did this picture in the...
