Well Hello There..Did You Miss Me?

I’ve been on a break, the weather has been hot/cold/hot/cold and stormy. Besides, I haven’t much felt like writing. Well actually I have been creative. I was inspired by my Muse and began creating different interpretations for my gallery. What do you think?

Life is Art and sometimes art is ugly, while other times it possesses a beauty that breathes life through color and composition.

LIFE On The Cheap

If you are familiar with my TechGyrl Blog, then you know that I always gripe that I’m not wealthy. I live Life: “On The Cheap” and in case you don’t know what I am referring to well it includes: Shopping at COSTCO, not using a landline for telephone service [Instead I use a “Not-So” Smartphone, instead] not having cable and you can be assured that I still watch everything that needs viewing.

That way any monies left-over can be spent at my discretion that may include splurging on something of high monetary value (relatively speaking of course) or saving.

I don’t spend a lot on technology, in fact my version of Dreamweaver states that it is the property of Macromedia [Adobe now owns Dreamweaver). My reasoning as to why I don’t purchase every bell and whistle is:

1. Much of the new software can be prohibitively expensive.
2. Technology changes too frequently.
3. I am doing fine with what I have now.
My most recent re-Discovery is Paint.net:

Here are some of the things I’ve done after only two days of learning the program:

And:

I first used Paint.net years ago when it was a simple alternative to Microsoft’s Paint and granted while the current version isn’t as fast as PhotoShop, Paint.NET is a great raster image program. If you've ever struggled to find Photoshop's hidden gems or can't get familiar with GIMP's unusual UI, spend a little time researching and downloading Plugins, and you'll become a Paint.NET convert.

Awesome World’s Biggest Sand Castle

August 3rd, 2011 by Farah Naz

Its really hard to make an amazing sand castle sculpture. The sand castle is beautiful and creative and a sand dragon on the castle is really “look pet castle” [‘What?] lollzzzz. Ed Jarrett first built the world’s tallest sand castle in 2003, then broke his own record in 2007, and now his back with his third consecutive record, a 37-foot, 10-inch sand marvel.
