Great Paintings


















I always was fascinated with art especially with anatomical sketches. Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Delacroix, Toulouse Lautrec, Rembrandt being some of my favorites. Love abstract stuff by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Franz Marc too. Also love the cartooning style of pop artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein.

Clive Cussler




Just finished reading Inca Gold. Dirk Pitt just gets more and more exciting. Following the devil may care hero on his extraordinary adventures is a truly rollicking experience, with nail biting suspense and action. He is my favorite, second only to Indiana Jones. I especially liked Matthew McConaughey’s rendition of Pitt in Sahara. He fitted the hero to a “T”.

Web 2.0



Just brushing up on the latest Web 2.0 design guidelines. Lots of white space, light colors and big images, call to actions etc. Updating my xhtml knowledge, seems like html is out for good. Webpages are passé it seems, what with all the mobile apps and social networking sites. Seems I’m always running to catch up.

Taking care of Baby and Business


Finally got my son to take his afternoon siesta. It seems to me babies really don’t have any in built clocks. My son loves to dawdle and play on, not realizing the clock is ticking endlessly. All time is play time. I really don’t like to ruin his mood by hurrying him and interrupting his play. Finally sat down to day dreaming about starting a small business. Went through whole lot of ideas on the internet about small home businesses for moms on the on internet. Seemed to narrow down to pet keeping and “blogging”. Everything else seemed like too much work.

World of Warcraft



I just got my new Lenovo laptop. Fired up World of Warcraft starter edition. I started with a Blood Elf hunter alt and have leveled off to 20 already. The fun really begins after level 15 when the dungeons and war games become available. I found it relatively easy to level up the hunter . My other alt a druid is also fun, what with all the cool spells. I especially found Silvermoon beautifully designed with beautiful colors. The Eversong Woods were a delight, especially the sunrise. Tranquillien has these huge giants called Luzran and Knucklerot.
