The Most Beautiful Christmas Tree…again.

Grandma Lyn Boss Morton (my mom) is by far the greatest Holiday Designer I know. Back in the day she would decorate 30 trees with 3000+ lights each (before pre-lit trees).She was the designer the stores &decorators stole ideas from!

My Dad owned the largest Wholesale Xmas Sales Firm on the West Coast for a number of years. His showrooms were truly Winter Wonderlands and the best were my Mom’designs. Only problem was we had to decorate them all in late June for the Wholesale Gift . . . →Read More:The Most Beautiful Christmas Tree…again.

Give Plumpy’nut to Starving African kids.

Skip my writing &just donate to that cute kid in the picture.

After watching the horrible pictures of the famine in the Horn of Africa I felt moved to donate. I always feel taken when I donate to some big company structure like Red Cross because I don’t know where it goes. I prefer to donate in a more focused fashion.

While reading about the famine I came across this product called Plumpy’nut. It’s a fortified peanut butter with dry milk,sugar,&vitamins/minerals that can bring a starving child back from death in as little as 4 weeks. It’s made in the US by Edisia (created by Nutriset in France) &they . . . →Read More:Give Plumpy’nut to Starving African kids.

Add the Strike Through function in Chrome for Gmail.

While writing a shat talking email to my fantasy football league I wanted to convey a dramatic sentence using the strike through (or strikethrough) function. Like this sample.

So I went looking on Google’s excellent search services &couldn’t quickly find a link that easily led me to a solution. So no fret my friends,I wasted the time on your behalf.

In Google’s Chrome Web Store I found a cool extension called,oddly enough,“Strike Through for Gmail“. It had excellent reviews and I ran over the code to check for naughty parts. It came up clean and proved to be a very light extension. It’s also free which makes it even better. (4.5 stars 1736 reviews) .

Great (cheap) day at Seahawks Training Camp. Pictures!

This weekend was one of picnics for my wife and I. On Saturday night we watched Seattle Shakespeare Company’s free Shakespeare in the Park run by Wooden O. They did Comedy of Errors at the Des Moines Marina Beach Park. At least 400 people showed and a huge percentage were fully entertained young kids. They will be all over Seattle this Summer. Sonia and I are going to see them do Macbeth next. More Info

A Monitor Worthy of Me!

This is the view my wife has of me from her side of the desk. Obviously I didn’t plan it to be so big. It started when my 24″monitor recently died. Before I had two monitors which Sonia hated. Due to her gentle reminders of how much she despised the dual screen setup I relented &went to the single 24inch. At first things were okay…it was larger than one of my old screens but without doubling it up it just wasn’t the same. Needless to say I suffered quietly &worked twice as hard as I did before my wife exiled the extra screen,never once peeping a complaint. I can’t tell you how happy I was! After a year of silent suffering my monitor started to need beatings about the screen . . . →Read More:A Monitor Worthy of Me!
