Daddy Miles Blue Sky Over Cowles Mountain - First Assent

Daddy...Miles...Blue...Sky

Stairway To The New...Blue

Blue Above Shielding, Shining, Protecting

Miles below, Learning, Reaching, Growing

Daddy low, Holding, Lifting, Befriending

Teaching, Scolding, Grabbing, Talking, Listening, Agonizing

Loving.

Miles first assent up Cowles. I actually talked about this day, probably 5, 4, 3 (not 2 or 1) years ago. Wow, to actually see it happen. I remember, probably 11 years ago, the first time I climbed Cowles. How amazed I was to see the whole of where I lived. And more. It was wonderful for his eyes too, I believe. He made it up and back, about 3 miles, in about 2 hours. No problems other than a couple of mildly scraped palms...it can get a bit slidey down the trail...he walked it all himself.

An unexpected pleasure, his own request, and what makes the weekend something of joy.

The Saturday Morning Post

It's that time again and as I feel the quiet of the morning slip through the hour glass (even before it does...that's me), here's the rundown for the rest of the weekend. And I do feel like I got a little out there and into my Atmosphere project, so it's already been somewhat of a success.

Planned: Re-scheduled Birthday dinner with friends, Jazz 88 bowling party, and not much else this 3-dayer. Could be promising! Wants: Get damn hard drive installed, which looks now like it requires a new floppy drive to make happen...I hate computers. I love computers. Maybe get to Sea World. Get wireless access point working again. Get G4 ordered...12 inch...depending on digital in capability. General house clean-up and organization. Play with kids as much as possible. Learn something about Yo-Gi-Oh (or something like that). Fog picture transition atmosphere...sounds foggy...to my brain. Lots of things ahead. Maybe we'll start with breakfast out!

Much Love...VO

Sea Monkey - The Atmosphere

Today Atmosphere: Sea Monkeys. Click on the picture to launch the Atmosphere. A looping Quicktime movie of carefree Sea Monkeys flourishing in Casa Chaos. It's about a 2MB download. To pause the Atmosphere, use the controls at the bottom of the picture. Enjoy.

The idea is to provide some sort of visual and / or audio environment for people to enjoy while they browse the site. The Atmosphere.

The immediate improvement is to open this up into a small window, just the size of the picture, with maybe a caption. The add the soundtrack.
