Worth a click.. The Big Picture, from the Boston Globe

We all accept our information intake in different doses and forms..  for me, a picture tells a much more touching story than the printed word.  Something to do with spending much time on the back-side of the camera I suppose..

The Boston Globe offers a wonderful way to stay connected not only with the immediate and high level story of current world shaping events, but with the feeling and emotion that accompanies every happening..  To describe the destruction and pain filled recovery of the earthquake in Haiti in a factually accurate neatly spaced columns in print doesn't do the job quite like a single picture.

The Big Picture, News Stories in Photographs, delivers smiles, tears, joy and disappointments that one can't garner by reading black and white text.   Pay a visit when you have time.  The story boards are short but robust.

Pick of the week.... Gaffer's tape

Yep... a lowly roll of tape.

 

It's uses are countless.  It sticks like Duct Tape, but peels off like a Post-It note paper, without leaving any sticky residue.  It isn't cheap as far as tape goes, but there are no substitutes.

Pick of the Week...DropBox

It's time to leave the house..  Cell phone goes in my jacket pocket; Laptop in my shoulder bag accompanied by a portable USB Western Digital Passport HD; USB memory stick in pants pocket; printed list of all my web user names and login info under lock and key...in my wallet.  I'm equipped for a day in this digital world.  Well, welcome to a few years ago.

Fast forward to today...
