Found my stack of optical disks with LV videos.   Have yet to go through them.

Liking the connection themes of Lima's blog... Blanch saw that one right away as inspiration for a project.

It makes me think what if everyone wrote a different story about a main character, beginning to end... and then the challenge would be all of the writers think of ways to merge the stories or character interactions

Oh wait.... I promised a musical interlude....…

Nature Junkie has the craziest new foster dog. Why are the beautiful ones always crazy? Something to do with breeding I suspect. If you want to see her new addition, go over to her VloggerHeads channel and take a look or if enough of us beg her (with sad puppy-dog eyes) maybe she'll post it here too. Her new dog is so spectacular that it's even got me thinking of moving to a place that accepts animals so I can get one too. NJ, if you're reading this, is your new dog "fixed" ? Can she have a…

Coincidence or Something Else?

Things like that.

I use to have those experiences all the time,  I would be sitting there, with no care to the world and start thinking of a person,…

I was going through a bunch of photographers work on flickr that I am subscribed to and I had this picture in my feed!

It has to be a sign.

Unfortunately, my idol is packed away and I won't be reunited with the little brick until the end of September.  

Seriously, it's a sign people.…

Félix Fénéon was a terrorist and an art critic over a hundred years ago. For a few years he wrote several short news items every day for a French newspaper. They are characterized by humor, detachment, deadpan horror, and mystery. 

I've never read anything else like them.

I tried, at one point, to think of a way to use them in a video collaboration. My general thought was to introduce randomness--you pick your 'novel' out of some kind of virtual hat or someone else picks it for…

This is just early free flow thoughts.... maybe just a poor idea... dunno.

First off, I like to think in terms of positive outcome....

It seems that all of us came together for one major project, we could move mountains.  Tell me what kind of mountains you would like to move.   How would you make this planet a little better?

What kind of stories do you like?

Do some of you remember sometime ago an animated…

Just 'cause it is cool to hear something recentish  from an old friend.

Wee'll collect them here, but off-screen dead ones don't count.

From BlancheNoE:

All videos posted during squirrel-month MUST have a squirrel in them or they will be deleted and the poster will be ban-hammered for LIFE ! ...mmmmWAHHhhhahah....

I OWN THIS MONTH !!!...uh, but I'd be willing to sell it for the right price. I paid a hundred for it but…

I was watching a Scott Murray vlog and decided to comment with an embed. But the little toolbar on top of the comment box (with the embed icon) was missing. I looked at several other videos and it was the same story. However, the comment boxes in the blog column--at least those I looked at--are intact.

I just started using Chrome, if that means anything. But I kinda think I've seen this issue before and there was a very simple fix.

For those that don't get to see my PAD (picture a day) I do on Facebook, I thought I would share my mother's Hydrangeas that are in full bloom right now.  Not trying to do one of those drive by shooting things.  Hope all is well with everyone. I took a new position with a Naval base.  Been working ten hour shifts and some classes, plus Guard reserves part time, so I really don't even have time for me.  I do however, still have time for photography! :D …

Hello mateys,

After having been dogged by many of you to help with the cost for keeping the Ark afloat, I'm gonna finally (and humbly) say YES!!!  You can help!  And thank you!

The cost has been $25 a month.  I figured if we can get 11 first-responders to answer the call,…

Hello all.  What a trip it is going through the old vids.    It almost feels like researching a documentary about those days on  LV.  (what Syd has not made that one yet?  Perhaps she can start that documentary after she writes a novel on the subject. )   Anyhow,  one second I am watching touching vids by Blanche cooing about Syd, or SM1310 thanking several others, or Torigirl thanking and being inspired by others.... And I watched Syd's first vid.  Wow.  Then I just marvelled at the effort…

Not sure everyone knows but I am working every other week   (7 blocks of 10 hour shifts followed by 7 free days of catching p on doing stuff) so  forgive me if I drop off the radar every other week.

There was a rare happening with my favorite cactus this year, and sadly I missed it due to work conflict.  (several blooms went into stall and we had a second bloom night) …

AT the Bottom is a Parody Video which might need explaining to be properly Consumed.

I've been SO pleased to see a relatively obscure singer/songwriter(Sia Furler) become more widely recognized for a few songs which are NOT mainstream sell-outs.  She sang vocals on a few Zero 7 songs. Zero 7 is a fluid group of artists who record with various Vocalists, including Tina Dico.…

Please don't ban me!

I am currently doing a picture a day challenge, where you take a picture everyday for the entire year.  I have been posting my pictures in a group on FB.  Some of them I have shared on flickr, but don't have them titled as PAD.

Took this while I was at the nature science park today,  I was very please with how it came out and wanted to share.

Hope you enjoy it.…

Today I was privileged to see the Sculpture, Rubber Duck by Florentijn Hofman.  

Florentijn Hofman is a 37-year-old Dutch artist known for large-scale urban installations.

Rubber Duck is quite a world traveller, having been seen in Holland, France, Brazil, Japan, New Zealand, Belguim, Australia, China, and Azerbaijan. It made its first…

(okay so a lot of us are not that talkative....)

Collectivesole  has a video page.

It could be a kind of lost and found page for vids if you like.   I know some folks are missing some earlier videos that others of us may have   .Any thoughts?
