Studies 2

Literal Studies

Whew! Have been watching lots and lots of videos about html4, xhtml, html5, and css2. Great Fun!. My knowledge is increasing and am going to apply this knowledge to some of the stuff I have been writing locally (which means "inside" my own computer). To share exactly which stage my studies have landed me, look at this guy's video on YouTube. His channel is called tutor4u and with his help, after viewing his video, I am beginning to reach a clear understanding of css markup.

On another note, have been watching my rose shrubs die because of the temperature here in my town. And my Aloe has lost its healthy green color turning a dull brownish. Could probably keep them hanging on through the Summer, except water is so very precious during a drought. Therefore early next Spring my focus will be upon cacti. Give them a bit of water and toss them into an oven and they thrive. It is getting about time for lunch.

Tomorrow, I have planned on capturing an image showing a "Hawaii" theme. Am an avid "plusser," a user of the social media site named Google Plus. Am a member of a community on G+ named Weekly Photo Challenge and there are weekly themes. The challenge is to do your best and to capture one image for each weekly theme. 52 images altogether. The time is already 1630hrs, so this day is almost gone. Time is so precious. 1740hrs. This is what I have decided to do. Included in my earlier post about cactus are a few images. I have many. Am going to construct a website on my local drive about cactus. With my location and the drought it seems appropriate. The things I am learning are too cool to neglect. Too much fun. Below is the image I submitted for the Hawaii theme.

The reason Spam is in the photo is because of the Hawaiian Islands themselves. There are not many herds of cattle running around on the islands. Refrigeration is very expensive and Spam (at least on the smaller islands) has always been an alternative. Ask anyone living there. Canned meat is quite common. And on the other side of the coin are canned pineapples here Stateside. Pineapple is not common and when some is needed we buy a can. In Hawaii, we would be laughed off the islands.

New StudiesVI-Overview and Summary

Eighth Day And Overview

Today, there has not been too much time for source studies. Need to manage my time more effectively. Have neglected my social media engagement inside Google Plus This is where I have made many excellent acquaintances and probably some like-minded friends. My passion is photography at the moment (last few years) and alongside flickr where I post a bunch of images, there is Google +. So today, I really needed to catch up. Post one and more images, socially interact. Computer stuff.

This is my idea behind learning this markup and source: "To be able to complement my computer life. My position in cyberspace." There are many ideas and accomplishments that I pick up from social engagement that I might otherwise have never learned. For instance, The Solar Impulse LIVE is a plane flying around the world using solar power. This link connects with the plane flight from Cairo through to Abu Dhabi and was able to view some of this journey... right at my finger-tips available on the Google landing home page.Here is another thing I would like to record for posterity...Prisma. This is an Apple Corp application that was made compatible for Android cells. This app. allows people to customize their images, and I may put it on my cell phone.There are just so many things to do. And managing time is difficult when a new project is added to our daily list.

This "all" is just so phenomenal that I want to learn and fast. Yet, there are chores and important things outside of cyberspace. Am headed to the ATM to get set up for another task. Am going to close with, "Darn no time." That is exactly how I would say this in the privacy of my own home.

Still have not gone to the ATM!! Things keep coming at me. These tasks need to be done. The air outside is permeated with smoke from a fire in California. Am noticing this as I prepare to step out the door. The sunrise this morning was a brilliant orange and am wondering about sunset. Hmm.

Just got back from the store/ATM. $4 for 5 cans of cat food. What a rip. They wanted $4.59 for a bottle of prune juice. I decided to buy it at another store. I love prune juice and warm stale grape soda. Not hot! Room temperature. Thought about closing statements for today's Post. Am working on a main page with seven other pages. Am linking them all together. A university level study. Am probably going to buy a dot com. Am beginning to think about external style sheeting. Hope to have more to share tomorrow. Am trying to stay awake until the sunset, to see about the color from the Sand Fire in California. Am going to check out the instruction manual for my cell. Maybe I can learn to add a post using the phone... if it is secure enough.

The sunset was unremarkable. Faced to the East, there was plenty of color. Will try to capture sunrise tomorrow morning.
