raspberry smoothies are just some of the uses I have used them for. New stalks have grown that will be the next year’s raspberries producers and they continue to spread across the garden.

RING IN THE NEW WITH A PIZZA !

RING IN THE NEW WITH A PIZZA !

What better way to wash down a pizza !

What better way to wash down a pizza !

It snowed in the afternnon to evening and the temps dropped making it a cold night. Renee provided transporation for lady as she didn’t want to brave the snow. I ended up watching the tube for most of the night and the others played games. Made up some dough and baked pizza. Diane made many side dishes and desserts. Champagne toast at midnight and we watched the motorcycle jump/ times square ball drop at midnight.

Diane didn’t have to work till 10 Am, I slept in and put the kitchen back in order and cleaned the office and shuffled up some paper work, yeah, tax time comming and also keeping an eye on the interest rate alerts from the mortgage company. we should be starting an on-lne app for a re fi soon. I have projects on the back burner for 2009 .Turntable sitting on the desk now and I have digitized some of the albums to harddisk/mp3 player (I have Justine’s old Zen player she has an Ipod) with many other albums in the cellar. Boxes of pictures/slides/VHS and Uncles Leos old home movies to convert “someday” (“Someday” is the new day that will be added to the week so we will be able to get everthing done!) Renee was looking at Craigs list for a DVD/VHS to tape her TV shows. She got one at Salvation Army but it wasn’t fully functional. L8tr pEtE

Sunday, The ice/snow/rain mix that we got today, did a bit of shoveling, it was only additional accumulation from what snow we got on Friday evening which was the bulk of the snowstorm.
I’ll have to bring my camera on the road with me during the next storm.

viewing the election

While I am not a huge fan of television provided by cable , dish, fiber, or for that matter any paid content contract , when you are able to receive television broadcast choices off the air for free, I have over the years have had a broader choice of content since being connected to the the internet. The election night proved that the interactivity of the user has more of their choice through the internet. By an internet connection, websites had the interactive maps that showed the election results auto updated and, with various mouse rollovers, could be zoomed in for various results from different areas and even senate and house results on demand. About the same thing that the TV networks would provide, only the TV networks passively provided the results at their discretion . With the internet’s ability to have your own choice of concurrently running web pages, maps and even live commentary ,such as twitter, which provides more broadbased comments and the ability to rebut from just about anyone able to text a message, this can be streamed to your desktop or networked devices. (or wide screen if you have the internet connected to it). Another example on how the internet and paid content subscription services are differing. With the connection speeds increasing and the boom in online video, some will choose the mouse over the remote.
