I’ve been thinking a good bit about the nature of reality. Specifically, the notion that we create our reality through consciousness. I was thus occupied when I noticed the sky above the beach here in Destin seemed just a little too perfect.

“Local Idiot To Post Comment On Internet”
“After clicking the ‘submit’ button, I will immediately refresh the page so that I can view my own comment. I will then notice that my comment has not appeared because the server has not yet processed my request, become angry and confused, and re-post the same comment with unintentional variations on the original wording and misspellings, creating two slightly different yet equally moronic comments,” he said. “It is my hope that this will illustrate both my childlike level of impatience and my inability to replicate a simple string of letters and symbols 30 seconds after having composed it.”

zPhone
My new zPhone arrived yesterday and it’s everything I hoped it would be. I sprung for the white patent leather shoulder harness so I have a feeling I’ll be turning heads when I pull this rascal out.
I haven’t figured out how to set it to vibrate but I’m told you know when you have a call.
My favorite feature, however, is the paper print out of missed calls.
I opted for the International Orange model, but the zPhone also comes in camo. Sold out, of course.
Photofunia
Thanks to the Lord High Commander of Planet Nelson for pointing us to Photofunia. I like this site a lot more than he did. Grown-up that he is, he dismissed the site as a place to fiddle away an "Internet minute." I expect to spend countless hours there.

Don’t Look Back!
Yes, I know I misspelled tortoise. It’s called creative license, okay?

Kerri Walsh’s ass
I’ve packed my little bag and said goodbye to Barb. As soon as I can come up with Kerri Walsh’s phone number I’m going to call her and have her come get me. We’ll tell people I’m her father (okay, her grandfather). I’ll be the one crouched by the net, ready to towel off my Goddess of Beach Volleyball.
Seriously, this is the only sport worth waiting in line for. I’d like to meet the person who came up with the idea of sponsoring the back of her bikini bottom. [Photo: Kerri (6’3″) hugging her teammate Misty May-Treanor (5’10”)]
Steampunk gas mask
Three reasons why I don’t own this steampunk gas mask: a) I can’t imagine where I’d wear it, b) It’s probably hot as hell, c) and damned expensive. But I’d be set for all Halloweens to come.
Like many others, I developed an appreciation for steampunk from the novels of William Gibson.
“Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.” – Wikipedia
