The right balance

Much of what I do is centered around my passion for art and I am not talking about traditional. Art comes in all flavor’s and surrounds us in so many ways we tend to not notice the obvious.

I recently upgraded my cell phone. Actually I swapped back from Nextel to Sprint even though they are through the same company. Anyway one of the big issues with cell phones is centered around reception. Unless you live within 3 miles of the nearest cell tower you are lucky to be able to receive calls inside your home or office. And if you work in a high rise your chances of good reception diminish in direct proportion to the amount of steel that is buried within the structure of the building.

The topic of death is something that I rarely think about. Life can be so full and rewarding but like all things there is a start and a end. So when I read the article in the Los Angeles Times titled “Funerary urns as modern ar t” I had to take a step back and contemplate my mortality.

What went through my head was my father. He died fairly young at the age of 63. Strong as an Ox and rarely sick he was my mother's care giver to the end of his life. When my mom had her aneurysm in her late forties everyone in the family was prepared for the worst. We did not think about funerals we thought about losing our mother. You see my father and mother were true soul mates. They did everything together!

We continues our series on the 960 Grid system. Quietly today we have upgraded Xanluna! to yet another new theme that was introduced in December 2009. This theme is called “Reaction” and it was the first commercial 960 grid based theme from Rocket Theme. To date there have been 3 released and we chose “Reaction” because of its ability to be very minimal in design. This theme similar to the new Free GPL based theme we started with and is clean and void of distractions.

Have you ever stopped to get gas and sat your wallet, purse, cell phone or coffee on top of the car while you attended the pump? Then drove off? I have! And it is no fun when you get to your destination and find you wallet is missing.

Besides happening to me, I have seen this actually happen to people when I was at the gas station and cell phones do fare to well either! :)

Every once in a while I get an email from one of my friends that has something interesting I think should be shared.
When I received this a few days ago I thought Hmmm. I have used some of these tricks before to secure my identity.
