Twitter grader
You might have noticed an icon in my sidebar that is showing my "twitter grade". There's more to this than meets the eye. If you go to Twitter Grader, and fill in your handle, not only will you get your twitter grade, it will tell you how it is calculated. There are also some great ways to find other twitter stars to follow. Even just hovering your curser over the pics will tell you the twitter grades of the people shown. If you click on them, you get the information page that you got when you incerted your twitter handle, except, of course, it's their page.
I highly recommend you check this out if you are into Twitter.

Who is John December
...and where did he go?
I found John's picture along with a bit about who he is and his intentions while looking for hex codes. He has really nice hex codes.
It says "My dream is to make a living as an independent Web publisher. Working since 1992, I've steadily expanded my Internet information efforts, and now I've reached that dream. I am grateful to all the people who have made use of my online works and books and those who visit my Web site--thank you!"
Off to the right of John's message are ways to get in touch and see what he is up to currently including a YahooBlogLog. This is something new to me. So, since I see that John is into Yahoo, I think I'll try that out. Well, I get all signed up and do a search for John. He doesn't show up in my search.
If I click on his name in the Yahoobloglog I get to go to his page that has a new picture (it's a much better one)

So it goes...all I was up to was finding some hex codes and here I am with John and Yahoobloglog trying to figure out how it works. In the mean time, John, if you happen to see this, thanks for the hex page and all the information

Google fun
Free TVand Movies
the new TV signal after February 17th when an employee there told us about
"Hulu's mission is to help you find and enjoy the world's premium content, when, where and how you want it. Our library includes thousands of videos, from full episodes of new and archive TV shows to full-length movies to sports games and highlights to clips.

We are thrilled with HULU. It's a viable option to cable, conversion boxes, or traveling to the video store.

Watching you
I thought I would take a walk here.
I want to look at you.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Do you see me?
I am right beside you.
Let me touch your heart.
Touched by An Angel
by Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
