HITCHHIKING

I want to see this movie,

'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' has promise

Translating the original novel to a film is akin to writing an essay dictated to you by a dog. Adams was not particularly great at coherent plots with his books meandering like a hitchhiker would. Adams was also a vivid technophile, obsessed with the emerging digital age, and wanted any movie based on his book to be able to withstand the vastness of his imagination.

WHAT A CHARACTER

The Project

Ok. One reason I started this was to have a practise place for my project. I am one of four guest bloggers at Melanie's Just a Bump...blog. This is quite a challenge but also a great opportunity to learn and grow. Like today, I just had trouble trying to figure out html codes to make my post "look right". Thanks to fellow guest blogger RT for pointing me in the right direction.

HTML for dummies

OK, Wayne. Here’s a test of your budding HTML coding skills. Post up using these tags:

Bold
Italics
linked text

Cool.

I found a link to this column over @ Angry Bear, one of my favorite econo-blogs. The Mighty Quinn has some choice words for the Cato Institute crowd on Social Security and private accounts. Check it out.

Bloggered

I was trying to post but Blogger is messing with me just now. I wanted to practice my html but it won't let me view the blog. I will post this up just to see what happens.

Update: after a few fits & starts all is currently well.

A sense of place...

Pearce’s Paradise is a real place - though you might not find it on any map. It’s one of a set of small dredge islands somewhere in Tampa Bay. My dad, Fred Pearce, used to drive his boat out there with a cooler full of beer and a pretty girl (later my mom) to...um...watch the sunset. I’m going to find my own way there someday soon.

And so we begin...

I am creating this blog as an experiment in recreational therapy. We'll see how it goes. You're welcome to come and visit anytime.
