Boggled Because I am Not Here?

Tue, 08 Nov 2005 13:08:43 +0000

I have decided to continue on with my TypePad Blog Boggled. You can find it

here.

I am also working on a WordPress install of Boggled on my own server here.

The WordPress Blog is parallel posts of the TypePad Boggled for the day that I have enough expertise to migrate there full time.

Daily del.icio.us links will continue to post here until they don’t.

Cheers,

Rick Cummings

Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida

Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida, originally uploaded by Rick.

Thank You Zenera for choosing to add me to Flickrzen! It is an Honor!

I grew up in the South and had moved out West for several years. I had an opportunity while visiting my parents in Georgia to go visit friends living in Ft Lauderdale for a couple of days. Why not? Free place to stay, free food, an ex girlfriend to revisit, a couple of days in the sun. Worked for me! Go to the beach for the day? Nope. It’s Windy, Cloudy and Cold. Day after day. The day I am leaving I say the heck with it! I gotta go to the beach just to feel the sand, listen to the waves, and to smell the salt air. I show up to a deserted beach and a lone person stretching for their run.

I took this picture the last time I stood on a beach…

24 years ago.

New Apple Video iPod

Fri, 14 Oct 2005 14:10:38 +0000

I just spent the last hour ripping through all the new products announced today by Apple. The new iMac upgrades, the Video iPod, and the Universal Dock and Remote that I absolutely must have. Thank you Steve Jobs for making them compatible with the older iPods. The new Apple Video iPod is absolutely sweet. To bad I just used my rewards up getting a new 30 GB Apple iPod Photo 4 months ago. I am having an extremely hard time justifying my replacing it this soon. Ripping through the new iTunes 6.0 tonight, I noticed a tab for Movies. If you aren’t paying attention, get ready, because sooner or later it is all going to change. Apple has the knack for making things easy and the downloading of movies is probably right behind the ability to download episodes of Lost and Desperate Housewives directly to iTunes and then to your Video iPod. As cool as it is, I still prefer a nano.

National Geographic – WildCam AFRICA

Sat, 08 Oct 2005 04:28:05 +0000

National Geographic Magazine – WildCam AFRICA: National Geographic has a great webcam set up on an African watering hole. It’s great for viewing all kinds of wildlife in the middle of the night from Denver. It’s only up through the end of October because when the rainy season comes the wildlife aren’t forced to the hole. Kind of reminds me of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I expect to hear a voice over from Marlon Perkins, in the safety of a Range Rover, sending Jim into the water to wrestle the crocodiles. The kids love it and it’s great for background viewing and listening. Thanks to Denise for sharing it with Margaret.

Attitude

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 00:28:57 +0000

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”

Charles Swindoll

Success as defined by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 00:27:46 +0000

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
