Blogs

The beauty of blogging is the free sharing of information and experiences with those who you would never have reached without the Internet.  Periodically I will post an article about different weBLOGs I have stumbled across in my cyber journey that I have found engaging for one reason of another.  Basically when viewing blogs, I look for intelligence, creativity, originality, and a handsome face. These, my friends, are links to some of my favorites:

From the boardwalk at Coney Island to Jaques Torres' chocolate shop under the Manhattan Bridge -- if you love Brooklyn the way I love Brooklyn visit the Brooklyn Blog.  Written by a Brooklyn lover for those in ParkSlope and beyond.  Kick back and enjoy!

These photographs are fantastic! Visit Eric's site "curiously incongruous photo-poetic images of London"  -- Eric captures the details and the feel of the city as if you were walking the streets of London yourself.  Kudos to Eric -- I love these photos!!!!

stephencooks.com: This is the online kitchen notebook of an everyday home cook, making real food for real family and friends.  His photos are beautiful and original and his recipes sublime.  Now if someone would please cook me something!

From the gardens and canals of Venice, Ca. to ordering wine and shopping in Paris, France -- this website is written with a woman's sensibility and provides the inside track for women travelers and their companions.  Whether you go alone or with a gal pal, you will find well written and thoroughly investigated information on world destinations.  I recommend this site for the virtual traveler or the woman who is on the "get up and go".

Inspiration

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. --Marcus Aurelius

Music

Music like language can communicate all of life's sorrows and triumphs.  Music like language can bring forth laughter as well as tears. It provides a framework for our movement and our stillness. Music like language reveals our spirit. As it touches our heart, and moves our soul, we begin to believe in magic.

Ring Tones

Observations and Thoughts -- from a unique place.... my head.

I read yesterday that ring tones are a multi-billion dollar business.  There are children starving in the world, and we spend billions of dollars for ring tones?  What is wrong with this picture?  Just for that I am keeping the Tmobile ring and donating 25 bucks to unicef.
