sketches of the mind

I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue….. clouds of white
Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin……i love you.

I just received an email from a friend pointing me to this article regarding a possible international move to try and counter internet piracy by having customs check for people with pirated music on their MP3 players.

This has got to be one of the dumbest plans I’ve ever heard of. Good luck to whoever is trying to implement it.

So assuming this actually becomes law, they’ll catch people with music on their MP3 players wow. I don’t see it actually reducing piracy much.

This reminds me of the Debate of the Century at Cornell University, April 14, 2005. It’s been over two years, and this is the best that they could come up with?

So what happens when you mix Star Wars with Michael Jackson?

- The Great Flickr Tools Collection. So many tools I don’t know where to begin!
- Flickr Wallpaper which can rotate my wallpaper using a random Flickr image every hour (or daily as configured). This was also featured on PC Advisor’s 8 essential photo-sharing tools.
- Mosaica, a screensaver app using Flickr images. I’ve yet to try it.
