Enjoying them while I can

White Tulips

DSC01752 copy

I was out doing my garden rounds on Friday, camera in hand, and I came across these lovely white tulips. I thought that they looks so pretty against the backdrop of our old wooden fence. The petals are so delicate and almost feather like when you look at them closely.

On Monday our weather is set to become much warmer. I believe we’ll start hitting the 70’s or higher consistently, so I must enjoy my spring flowers as much as possible because once it really warms up they will disappear quickly.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

This weeks Theme is Childhood

This weeks theme is Childhood but no one said that it had to be about human childhood. I found this photo and thought it was absolutely adorable. Actually I feel more than a little sorry for the poor fawn. It looks cold and lonely doesn’t it?

My mother actually had a pet deer when she was growing up.

This was back in the days when people truly hunted for food. I think her father or one of her brothers had killed her fawns mother and they brought the baby back to the farm where my mother quickly adopted the baby deer. If I remember right that story doesn’t have a happy ending because when the deer got older an other hunter, perhaps from a neighboring farm mistakenly shot the pet deer.

BackgammonMasters to auction Boxer Roman Greenberg’s shorts

May 5, 2007 by Tricia

Did you know that the popular backgammon online site BackgammonMasters.com will be auctioning off heavyweight boxer, Roman Greenbergs famous boxing shorts for $100,000?

Backgammon Masters has been a long time supporter of this 24 year old boxer. He’s one of the youngest heavyweight boxers ever to compete at this level. He has an undefeated record of 25 – 0. There’s no reason why he shouldn’t become a heavyweight champ.

BackgammonMasters.com bought Greenberg’s shorts for a large sum of money in an effort to help the young boxer make it to the top of the professional ranks. The money will help with his training. There are big hopes that Greenberg will take on one of the top 5 boxers in the WBO this year.

Shortly after the big fight backgammonMasters.com will auction of the famous shorts. Online backgammon tournament bidding will start at $100,000. All proceeds of the auction will go to charity to help Arab and Jewish youths in distress.

Backgammon is known as Tavla in Arab Countries, and it’s BackgammonMasters hope that by donating to this charity, and through a popular game such as backgammon that peace may eventually be realized for these two middle eastern groups.

If you enjoy playing backgammon please do visit the Backgammonmasters site. You’ll find online tournaments and you can even win real money by using their downloadable game software. You might also try an online version of the Spanish dice game Perudo or Poker. Check it out.

Do you email your spouse?

May 5, 2007 by Tricia

Do you think it’s strange that I send my husband email, or is it just a sign of the times?

We do spend a lot of time together, but still, when he’s at work or perhaps busy working on the other computer I’ve often sent him an email with a link to a site that I think he might be interested in. When he eventually gets around to checking his mail he often gets a new message from me telling him about a cool music or guitar site that I came across that he should check out.

Do you think that’s strange?

BTW I don’t email him at work. I only send cool stuff to his personal email addy.

iGliss – organize your media and all the websites you enjoy in one place!

May 5, 2007 by Tricia

I just spent some time visiting a new site where members can Mix, sync, and share your media from the Web and PCs. This new site is called iGliss.

The site was created in order to make it easier for you to both collect, mix, synchronize various types of media, and then share it with your friends or with the world. Once you register you can begin using the site to share your favorite photos, videos, audio recordings or even blogs from the web.

There are so many interesting features it’s hard to know where to begin. You can use iGliss in so many ways. As I mentioned above you can simply use it to share your pictures and videos with friends and family, or you can use the site to keep track of cool photos that your friends and acquaintance’s have recently posted on Flickr.

You can watch the latest videos from sites like YouTube and Grouper, or listen to internet talk shows and news podcasts. You can even use it to read new posts from from favorite blogs.

I really like some of the features. I mean, I run several websites, yet I want to stay in touch with what’s happening on the web and read my ever growing list of favorite blogs but it can be hard to keep up with it all. I spend an hour on a forum, an hour or two reading RSS feeds or visiting site after site, then to relax or get ideas for posts I might sometimes stop in at Youtube to see if there’s any good videos that I can use. Now, with iGliss it seems like I can do much of that right from the iGliss site. That’s amazing. For me that would be a real time saver!

You don’t have to upload anything to the site. All you need to do once you become a free member is start selecting websites, RSS feeds and any other media that you’d like to list in your account and iGliss will automatically synchronize the media content that you’ve selected and keep track of it all for you.

I’m in. I just signed up for a membership. I think I’ll be exploring the site for a while! See you there I hope!
