It's been fun but, the blogger platform limitations and the need to consolidate my websites has convinced me to stop publishing new posts here.
I have moved all the content of this site to blogger.david23.com
All new posts will be published to blogger.david23.com
This site will continue on as a historical record and redirect to the new location only.
Again no new posts will be published here.
Update your bookmarks to blogger.david23.com
Post notifications coming soon to the new site. - Jul 02, 11
Lily's Cardboard House, a set on Flickr.
Pam and Lily are on a sleepover tonight at Pam's sister's. So I am home alone with a large cardboard box that I just made into a play house for Lily.
Hope she likes it.
Hope it dries before she gets home. - Jun 30, 11
Moving all my sites to David23.com
This blogger site will be located @ http://blogger.david23.com/
I'll post again when all the sites have moved.
For now updates will be made to http://blogger.david23.com/ and not here. - Jun 26, 11Saw this on my ride today
Link to my ride on MapMyRide
Had hoped to ride 20-25 miles but ended up only doing around 15.
Need to find another 10 miles to add to this loop. - Jun 22, 11Tornado 2011-06-21, a set on Flickr.
Tornado or micro-burst hit our street. A fence door was picked up from 2 houses down and smashed into our gargage and took out a support. Luck it didn't hit our cars or house. Could of easily been thrown thru our bay window. Also the two large trees in our front yard lost branches which fell on our porch and also look to have hit the house and causes a hole in the siding.
Power is still out but everyone is okay. We stayed in the basement until the storm passed with candles listening to the radio. - Jun 11, 11

New handlebars and handlebar tape came today and I could not wait to put them on my bike... When Lilly went to bed I went out to the garage and put then on. I was so excited I forgot to take pics. Maybe tomorrow.

It's apparent from the content of recent posts and lack of any personal posts in some time that I have fallen out of love with my blogger blog. It's not me. I'm still the same. I'm taking pictures everyday, I'm online everyday, I'm posting everyday, I still have nothing to say BUT, the blogger app just hasn't kept up with me. Neither have my mobile phones.
The problems started when blogger's email to post functionality became unpredictable. Emailing a post only to have it lost in the ether is frustrating and when it happens you don't want to post it again. The moment is lost.
At the same time my new mobile phones have not been up to the task of writing posts. The sidekick which I started with blog with was the perfect machine for blogging. It has a nice size keyboard with just the right feel. Since then I have gone thru 2 Android phones and my current phone using a touch screen keyboard which is fine for short messages but which is not so much fun for longer posts. Yes I swype but to continually need to select the word I just swyped really kills the flow.
I had hoped with the Android Market I would find a blogger app to help me with my loss of love for blogger and an app is now finally available. However, the way it treats images is awful. It shrinks them and they are not clickable and there are other issues. I'm also stuck with the touch screen keyboard.
To add to the lacking need for my blog there is now facebook, twitter, wordpress and any number of other outlets where I post my nonsense making the blogger blog less important. It has become more of a dinosaur. This blog was created in a pre-social media world... hmmmm
What to do with this site. what to do?
To be honest I don't know. I would like to migrate it to wordpress where I can host it and use the Wordpress app for Android to keep it current however, the videos will be lost and maybe some images.
There is a new sidekick on the market now so I might check that out but, for now this site is UNDER CONSIDERATION... - May 10, 11

Leopard Trek lead Giro tribute to Wouter Weylandt
Riders taking part in the Giro d'Italia are today to pay a moving tribute to fellow racer Wouter Weylandt, who died in a crash yesterday. Weylandt's Leopard Trek team-mates are to be allowed to cross the finish line ahead of the peloton in a stage dedicated to his memory.
“This is not a day for fighting for positions,” pink jersey wearer David Millar explained before the start in Genoa. The teams will take it in turns to pace the peloton for 10km at a time at speed of 37-40kph. With 1km to go, Millar will give the signal to the remaining eight Leopard Trek riders to move to the front.
After the stage, there will be no post-race protocol or jersey presentations. Instead, the Leopard Trek riders will come on to the podium as part of a further dedication to Weylandt’s memory. There were moving scenes before the start in Genoa. A special fenced-off space was reserved for the Leopard Trek team bus, and riders filed through one by one to offer condolences to the team’s riders and staff.

Electronic music pioneer Max V. Mathews died a few days ago at the age of 84. While at BELL Labs in the 1950s, Matthews developed MUSIC, the first popular computer program for generating sound. The multimedia visual programming language Max/MSP was named in part for Mathews. From Wikipedia:
In 1961, Mathews arranged the accompaniment of the song "Daisy Bell" for an uncanny performance by computer-synthesized human voice, using technology developed by John Kelly of Bell Laboratories and others. Author Arthur C. Clarke was coincidentally visiting friend and colleague John Pierce at the Bell Labs Murray Hill facility at the time of this remarkable speech synthesis demonstration and was so impressed that he later told Stanley Kubrick to use it in 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the climactic scene where the HAL 9000 computer sings while his cognitive functions are disabled.

Nuclear Facts A very clued in professional who will not be bought or intimidated into silence: Dr Helen Caldicott, true to style, tells it as it is. As she sees it, you wont usually hear the truth so listen up.. Nuclear fallout from Japan and Canada, You won't hear this on the news!

Testimony under oath. The truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God!
This testimony is important! We have future elections! Have they 'earned' our trust?
Far too many things are judged in the court of public opinion, then we just move along. Can we move along, when we hear the truth and nothing but the truth, stating our voting machines can be hacked?
Has this been covered by our media? I hadn't heard this damning testimony. Facts matter. The 'truth' matters more. If our voting machines are hackable, it should be addressed today. After the next election 'is' too late.
How can one move along to something so wrong?

Winter Wandering in IL, originally uploaded by David 23.
This Blog Might be Dead for now..
I’m not taking pictures like I use to when I lived in NYC.
In NYC I would photowalk at lunch. Here in IL it’s too cold and there is no place to go to take pictures.
I’ll see what I can do to get my inspiration back but, for now enjoy the existing posts and links to my Flickr account
I’m still taking and posting pictures on Flickr but, they don’t seem to fit in here.

Today she was a tired mess and didn't nap. I don't even want to tell you what happened when we put her down for her nap, it is worse than when she threw up last night... We just put her down for the night and I hope she sleeps. I'm so tired I could sleep for a week.

- Can anyone recommend an alternative to Etsy for selling my paintings. I like Artfire but I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I also don't want to write another custom shopping cart like I had on Oddbox although, I sold a ton of paintings with it back in the day. Etsy is cool and all but I am not getting the traffic and have not made a single sale. They also take down your listings after a certain period so they can charge you to put then back up. I have had good success selling my paintings on Ebay but they have limited time listings as well and I would like something a bit nicer looking. No offense Ebay.
