these two weeks in the summer, they still have that wonderfulness. the time from when school ended and the 4th. it was a time that you did NOT A THING. stayed up late, ran around in the yard. just nothing. I still love it. the days are the longest, and there is no imminent thing that has to be done. I sat outside for a bit, and now I am going to go make myself another drink and go back outside. just to sit. maybe bring the ipod out too. yeah, just a lazy hot night. gotta love it

Yesterday (?) I posted that I wanted to hit 100 followers, mainly so that I could possibly follow back and glean info from their tweets. Glean and assimilate. I have one snotty person tweet that I was offering an “award” for the 100th, and that it is better for quality not quantity. jerkass, I guess he did not read what I offering for a REWARD. I said the 100th would get a $25 gift certificate to Kiva.org, and they would match it with their own $25 donation.
So, my 100th follower was Mark Grimes. Founder of Ned.com I was truly impressed. He matched it of course. When I have another $25, I will go and also loan to one of the ones he supported.

He has kicked something in me. Now I have plans for some more giving things. So keep your ear on Twitter for them.
Actually it’s core has been being kicked the past few weeks. I don’t know what it is. Might be the economy. might be the things going on with parents. so many things have “come” to me in the way of words (wish it was money but hey!) over the past few weeks, it feels like an avalanche. Sunday I was listening to a few podcasts from accidentalcreative.com and some things just resonated. then yesterday was the “release” of a manifesto: a brief guide to world domination I read it in bed last night. It along with inspiration from a few other bloggers and social media bloggers, have opened a door in my brain. I have three blog posts almost done, for the BS blog. I am wondering if I should also restart my kidoimages design blog and post there web desing stuff, for end users, not like how BS is for web designers.
So, the road that I am taking in the next few months, it may have a few forks in it that I can’t see right now. But I am pretty damned sure that the changes have started.

Experimental as of now, I’ll move them to tireddog as soon as I get my site redone there, and on kidoimages, and on WDG. someday soon. Have to prioritize which design comes first.

makes me smile still. I’ll be driving down the highway, I’ll see a pat fan sticker on a car, and I smile. I’ll see the rare giants sticker, and smile even bigger. If you don’t live in the area, and don’t follow american football, you will have no idea how big that win was in February for Giants fans. Pats were the team of the decade, the unbeatables, the smugly coached (cheating) powerhouse with the marquee QB who jets off to Paris to date his supermodel, then goes to hollywood to pay his child support to the movie star he had a child with. Yup, The men in blue were supposed to get run over, kicked in the ass and thrown under the bus. The Manning family made it two years in a row that the Pats went home losers. Yeah baby… Ok Ok I know.
