Horse Acapella

This is simply a well-programmed Flash site, especially for horse-lovers. Click on the horses in different order and then try turning them on and off individually to get different rhythms.

Oldie But Goodie: The Talking Dog

Author: robertinseattle

A guy is driving around and he sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog for Sale.” He rings the bell, and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a Labrador Retriever sitting there. “You talk?” he asks.

Another Wild Picture e-Mail

Author: robertinseattle

I wonder what percentage of the picture e-mails people send and receive are funny, weird or porn? And what percentage are just jokes (bad or otherwise)?

I also had this other Yahoo! shot sent to me yesterday. Very bizarre!

If I don’t feel like talking to one of my business partners, I can always opt to let my phone put them into voicemail instead of picking up the call. I suppose that’s why I still find Instant Messaging so intrusive. Maybe I’m being antiquated here but…

Painting Again

Author: robertinseattle

Some of you know that I’ve been moving into a studio near Lake Union in Seattle over the past couple of weeks. The light during the day is great; a beautiful set of southwest-facing windows on one wall. The University Bridge frames the view over Lake Union.

So after almost 20 years since I last put a brush to canvas, I’ve decided to start painting again.
