We have redone the slideshow on the fifth tab of our website. While spending a lot of downtime inside of late, the images are all part of the journey around the Metroplex the past 12-years. Some of the images, though not many, our regular readers might have seen here and there, but never in a constructed slide show.
The slideshow repeats at the end of the cycle. However, should you see a blank page now and then, you do not need to do anything but wait a few moments. The show will continue where it paused. We are using a vendor's server to run the show and sometimes, their server will pause a few moments from their own traffic. It's not even a caveat type warning to worry about.You didn't break anything. Even if you are one of the rare viewers that get the pause for a brief moment.
Off to the races and other light adventures.
If you are an avid enthusiast or have a hobby tinkering in the world of digital dust, it is always good to go down that rabbit hole now and then. For example: when we go back into that digital dust of our own images, we find things that we can actually remember. As if only a few moments in time had passed. Details of the shoot unfold automatically. Even the memory of the weather of that day can reveal itself. Very few images stump our thinking about the shot, but a few still do. We always check the detail tab about the image that records the time and date stamp. It is still stunning to find images where a lot of water has passed below the bridge and you find that years have passed before our eyes viewing those images.
Usually, when we post, it is on subject matter. The look for images fit that subject matter. But, once in a while, something rings the bell in our brains and the "remember" light comes on with little tidbits like a quote from Ben Franklin pops up, which we use, instead of an image or with an image. It can be but is not only timely, but actually fits a topic, or image. "its hard for an empty sack to stand upright." old kite- in- a- thunderstorm Ben has declared. But, that quote does have a lot of merit for text as well as images.
For the first time ever, one of the most interesting things happened that was an absolute surprise. Watching on zoom the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Board Meeting was top on many fronts. It ran about 4 hours, but the gems of the event were when the three main characters running the event spoke.
Warren Buffett is an amazing man and not only for his ability. Charlie Munger, sat quietly with folded hands (except when he was sneaking peanut brittle on camera). Greg Able was the lesser of the three but after all, he is the chosen air-to-be CEO in-waiting to Warren Buffett. Just watching two 90 year-old billionaires from Omaha, Nebraska was absolute amazing in and of itself. When we watch those two and then see Mark, "the Zuckerberg", a third of Buffett's or Munger's age, with many more billions than Warren or Charlie is outrageous. Berkshire Hathaway is so much more well-managed. And we are more than ever sure that the government should break up Facebook, sooner than later, than when they split AT&T. In fact, it's time to be looking to revisit ole Ma Bell's morphed structure again. They continue to live the lie about DSL from the Federal Lawsuit settled a few years back. Speaking about morphing....they are doing the same thing again only in a morphed smoke screen.
Now, you wonder why we took the turn from images and digital dust after the first paragraph beyond the bold type break above. Well, by not doing as many editorial photos from editor calls has made me a bit smarter about pictures as an image manager today. Surprisingly though, my sales have increased as a simple little change can make so much of a difference. So, as stated above, sometimes, you need to go down that rabbit hole in the digital dust world. Just don't stay there! You hear!
