Amazing Disney Artist Exhibition

Wow, I saw this in the news and it looks amazing! I have a few Disney-maniacs who visit my blog. Disney fine art is highly collectible, as well as beautiful! I’m sure you’ll love it!

Sanders Art Studio.com in Ogden, Utah is pleased to announce “The Magic of Disney Fine Art Exhibition.” This exciting new exhibit features Artists Trevor Carlton, Tricia Buchanan-Bensen, James Coleman, Mike Kupka, Harrison Ellenshaw and Peter Ellenshaw, among others.

The exhibit showcases over 30 of your favorite Disney Classic Film moments such as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Kermit the Frog, Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mary Poppins and much more.

In addition to the exhibit, over 300 limited-edition Disney Fine Art Giclee’s on canvases are available for purchase on a new website and virtual gallery at Sanders Art Studio.com.

I’m a great admirer of art, especially cartoon art and animation. This looks like a wonderful event to attend! It’s a LIVE event, at Utah’s Hogle Zoo. It’ll be held September 20, 2008, so there’s plenty of time to prepare and plan. Trevor Carlton is an accomplished artist– it would be thrilling to meet him in person. He’ll be at the event! Call managing director KC Sanders (a longtime Disney associate) at the Sanders Art Studio.com (801) 393-9419 for more information.

Online Classical Music

My kids listen to classical music as they do their schoolwork. I’ve tired of buying CDs (at $10 a CD, it can get very expensive). Here’s a cool website that plays free classical music: Musopen. You can download the music, too! The collection isn’t very large, but it’s growing.

Master the Language That Connects the World

I’ll admit it, when personal computers first came out, and then the Internet, I believed it was all a fad. Similar to something like pet rocks or transistor radios, lol. But the computerization of our culture and the cultures around the world has absolutely exploded, so much so that people are building entire careers around it! That is amazing to me. And even more amazing, is that careers in computing– particularly IT professions– is extremely lucrative. I have a brother-in-law who is an IT guy, and he makes really good money. Of course, if a person is serious about a career in computers and computer “language” as I call it, you should definitely look into Cisco certification.

The Cisco Learning Network is one of the most professional and comprehensive websites for learning everything there is to know, connecting with others and participating in a vast network of knowledge, opinions, and news, and continuing an education within the network. Get the lowdown on the latest news and articles, stay on top of the ever-changing IT career opportunities, and best of all, participate in Cisco’s certification programs.

I don’t know if I would ever choose a career like this (I think I may be too old now, lol), but I certainly encourage you young people to check this out. If anything, Cisco’s certification program would make a great “backup” career should a primary career falter or slow down. The economy and job opportunities are going through a great change, but I think computers and computer experts are here to stay. Time has proven that the IT world is not a fad! If anything, I think that a career in IT has yet to peak. Network security is hot hot hot, and people who know the ropes are going to be in very high demand.

Usint Drop Caps for Blog Articles

Here’s a terrific tutorial I found for using drop caps for your blog posts. I have been wanting to do this on one of my blogs for quite a while! It’s for Blogger blogs, but saavy bloggers could figure out how to do this with Wordpress. I am going to tinker with it! Drop Caps look so classy.

The Computer of the Future?

I think I have seen it all! Well.. come to think of it, maybe I haven’t. But this is something pretty close! Ever heard of it? It’s the “B Membrane” computer.

It looks really funky, like something in one of those retro vegas hotels! I have to wonder if something like this will really catch on. I like the monitor system (like a projector) but the keyboard is extremely awkward. However, there’s no worry about spilling coffee in the keys!

How about you? Would you buy something like this?

Free Online User Guides

Need a user guide or manual? I don’t know what it is about me, but I am ALWAYS losing those durn things! Thank God for the Internet. Here’s a website where you can find a huge variety of user manuals: SafeManuals.com. Remember, it’s a “free” site, so ALWAYS use caution when downloading files and be sure to scan them with your anti-virus first. I haven’t had any problems, but it pays to be careful about everything these days.

Tactical Gear Online

Shall I ever stop being surprised what is available online? I love using the Internet to shop, and I’ve discovered all sorts of remarkable things to buy. This is cool– Tactical assault gear, just like law enforcement guys wear! My young sons love stuff like this. The clothing and footwear look extremely durable. Actually, we are impressed with the boots, the “Advance Coyote Brown” boot, because it looks incredibly comfortable, durable, and very affordable! I don’t think my local shoe store has anything like this, for such a low price!

Flashlights, hats, bags, holsters, gun and ammo cases– this place has got it all. Everything looks so durable and well-made. Selections from this site would make the perfect gifts for the outdoorsman in your life. Isn’t it amazing, all the cool stuff to be discovered online, now? Whereas once we were limited to getting our guys a tie or a baseball hat at the local department store, now we can get them high-quality tactical gear delivered right to our doors! I just love the Internet!

Hulu For Internet TV

I’m very impressed! After hearing about Hulu for several weeks, I decided to give it a try. It/s a website that offers free streaming television programs. It actually worked! I have “medium speed” broadband, and the show worked pretty well. i didn’t browse around a great deal, bui their selection looks quite large.

The shows are free; however you watch a brief advertisement in the beginning, and there is a small banner ad in the Hulu browser. Every once in a while, a corporate logo (I saw the McDonald’s Dollar Menu ad) pops up in the eight-hand side of the screen. The ads are not obtrusive and are easily ignored.

I was extremely impressed because they have a good collection of PBS and NOVA documentaries (I am not a TV show watcher, but I love documentaries). Even when I enlarged the video player to full screen, the video ran smoothly and the picture was still relatively clear. (It’s not like YouTube, where the picture is blocky and cube-looking when you go full screen). Hulu is an excellent tool for home educators. I give it my thumbs up.
