[-writing, motivation-] Creative Writing Originally uploaded by maher berro. This photo speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Maybe I chose it because it’s Monday morning, the sun isn’t shining so brightly today and I’m feeling at a lower ebb than I have for a while. It’s so pleasing to be able to write a tide-y blog [...]

[-alterations, art-] Jack Originally uploaded by wireguy. I love this construction from wireguy. Dare we call it PopArt? He says of his “Jack” creation: With all the waste in the office, this became the (obvious?) first prototype. It’s amazing what you can do with plastic junk. Drink up and enjoy. Indeed! I hope some of [...]
