#ParrotSunday - Rare Australian Parrots Get Breeding Help

Rare Australian parrot gets breeding boost | 7NEWS.com.au. Australia isn't just home to white feathered Cockatoos. The aptly named Orange Bellied Parrot (can you guess why?) is getting a new home in southern Tasmania in order to help with its breeding. It is so typical of our human species to destroy habitat and feeding grounds for another species, and then try to replace it. While I applaud the effort, wouldn't it be better to leave God's creatures alone in the first place?

#PoetryFriday - Wedding Anniversary

Wedding Anniversary

I can’t remember the smell of your hair.
I can’t remember the taste of your skin.
I can’t remember the last time we made love.
I can’t remember the last time we slept in the same bed.
I remember that today would be our wedding anniversary.
But, I can’t remember the last time we went out to celebrate.
I can’t remember the last time you frowned at me.
I can’t remember the last time you smiled.
I can’t remember the last time we argued.
I can’t remember the last time we made up after an argument.
I can’t remember the last time I saw the tattoo on your back.
I can’t remember when I last kissed you.
I can’t remember how you looked when I said I loved you.
I can’t remember how you looked when you said you loved me.

I can’t remember how you looked on the day you died.

Every day I forget more.
Every day the pictures in my mind grow fuzzier.
Every day I look at photographs to remind myself that we loved.
Every day I want to remember more.
Every day I remember less.

I do remember that I loved you.
I do remember your charisma and beauty.
I do remember your kindness to others.
I do remember the joy in your eyes.

I know that time robs all of us of our memories.
I will keep yours alive as long as I am able.
I will write poems as long as I can put pen to paper.

Let them be my memory.

BULLFIGHT

He waved a red flag,
but she kept on coming.
Her intentions were known
his defenses were down.
He was dead meat on the hoof.

As he lay dying on the ground,
he looked up into sparkling eyes,
deep as an ocean
and wondered where his heart might be.

His lips sank into her melting mouth.
He lost himself in the moment’s passion.
He wanted to spend the rest of his life
learning the curves of her slender form,
tracing her skin
like blind people read.

He wanted to lose himself
in the completeness
of her smile.

He thanked whatever godlike power was up there
for reminding him
that love mattered again.

Gear S - Everything Old Is New Again

One of the things I love about Smartwatch technology is that even the old tech runs the latest software. I have had this Gear S for 5 years, and I am charging it up to see how it works in a new environment. It is one big Smartwatch, and I imagine that I will get some odd looks. But, hey, everyone likes a little attention now and then.

The Legacy Myth

Awards and statues and ribbons, oh my! We all pursue the approval of others. We all get a warm, fuzzy feeling with others tell us how great we are, and give us plaques and prizes and remember us. But, do they remember us? Does the caveman who invented writing by drawing on a cave wall have a legacy of fans in the 21st century? I read all the time about someone being named to the top 100 this, or the top 100 that. I have to ask myself if there is value in the opinion of others? A couple of my mothers in law hated me. They may still do. Is their opinion of me important? When I was teaching computers on cruise ships for fun, I once shared the voyage with a company that taught people how to think about legacy. What would they leave their children? What was important to them? It never occurred to me that there is no such thing as legacy. Some of us, the rare cases, might be remembered for a hundred years or so. Then what? As for me, I am perfectly happy trying to do the right thing in the present. Save the awards and accolades. How about you?

Samsung Gear S - Biggest SmartWatch Ever

Samsung Gear S review: The smartwatch that's also a smartphone - CNET. It doesn't seem like 5 years since I bought the Gear S LTE SmartWatch by Samsung. It was the first Smartwatch that was also a Smartphone, and made phone calls as well as all the other SmartWatch functions. I still have mine, and this trip down memory lane makes me want to put this big, honking, smartphone back on my wrist. Not.

Repurposing The Samsung View - A Honking Big Tablet

Samsung Galaxy View - The Official Samsung Galaxy Site.A few years ago, I bought a Samsung View for SWMBO, for use in the living room, while watching TV. It is a big, honking tablet computer; and, now, in the days of WiFi television, it makes a great Internet TV and browsing device for any room in the home. I am updating the 2 year old apps before I install it in the kitchen for Diane. She can watch TV, check email, and bring up recipes in the kitchen while concocting wonderful keto recipes. The 18.4 inch touchscreen Android tablet is designed for group use in an open environment. There is always a secondary purpose for most tech; especially tech that uses software that updates over time.
