Satellite radio

I have decided to finally hop onto the satellite radio bandwagon. We have one at work, thanks to a generous co-worker, and I am liking the idea of less commercials and more music. So, I've been doing some research and shopping around. Looks like I will go with XM service, but still looking for a radio...mainly for my car, and of course I will probably use the online radio as well. There are lots of radios to choose from, but not an overwhelming choice. Hopefully I will have one by next post.

Strands

More catching up, as work gets in the way. Going on a day-trip in a couple of days...taking my friend Patty to Portland for a trip to our favorite asian grocery "superstore", Uwajimaya...then to a nearby Trader Joe's! Shopping bliss here we come!

Classic Spiral

I've always had an affinity for the classic spiral fractal, and flame spirals are no exception. I find them to be light, refreshing, and comforting. This flame was the result of some transform and gradient tweaking from Liz's Perfect Spiral script.

Gimp Import

Another flame created in Gimp, thanks to Scott Drave's plug-in and Mark Townsend's import feature.

Summer is here...

107 degrees in the shade on the 5th. Glad I didn't have to be outside for work. Meanwhile, it was a little "warm" down at my old stomping grounds, Phoenix...checking in at 116. But it's a dry heat. Saw Transformers the other day, and though it has gotten mixed reviews, I found it to be a lot of fun. CG animation rocked, and so did the soundtrack.

Catching up on some flames. New version out, 2.06...actually now 2.06c. Things change quickly, don't blink like I did, otherwise you'll be pulling your hair out trying to figure what went wrong.
