Back in Action

Why don't I blog? Maybe it's because I feel as if I'm talking to myself. I already do that--in a journal.  But it can't hurt to brand my thoughts on this whirlwind we call "online".  I'd like my thoughts and legacy to live on among the inter-web.  There's a new company ( that I saw on the news and didn't write down)  that allows you take a photo of yourself and have it turned into an online avatar. You then speak all of your thoughts and memories to the avatar, it remembers, you pay for it to stay online for like 200 years and it is for anyone in your future to view and see what you were like.  I am surprised I didn't hear about this earlier because I think it's a wonderful idea.  I recently stumbled upon (stumbleupon.com) a website of photos that a man took once a day for most of his life until the final day he passed from cancer.  When he passed he was only 41 years old, but his life (to me) seemed all that much more meaningful because I could now personally view one part of each of his days for the better part (20 years) of his life.  Would someone in the far but not too distant future feel the same inspiration from my photos? How can I ensure that this will happen?  I could tell my future kids to draw up my legacy on the internet but how do I know they will do it? And even if they do what if absolutely NOBODY views it? This is why the avatar company seems ideal, yet they could coincidentally go out of business one year after I pass.   Maybe it is best that these options are not available to us as a for sure thing.

Halloween has passed and Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner!! I swear I'm the BIGGEST sucker for holidays and sometimes I ponder what my poor little self would do without them :)

I lost ALL my photos from my NIKON D-5000 SD card the other day.  It brought me to tears to think I couldn't share or view those precious few memories ever again.  Then my whiz-tech boyfriend downloaded a program that recovers things from SD cards!  From this day on I now believe when you hit DELETE it doesn't really delete! I got every photo back that I'd put on that SD card over time and MORE haha. To say the least, I was relieved.
