New Year New Blog

Actually, this is an old blog that has been underutilized.

Maybe 2011 will be the year this blog becomes something new and improved!

For instance, here are a lot of random photos from the holiday staycation.

How long before the great convergence? What else are "they" talking about? The New Depression. Ha. Everyone's been depressed since Bush stole the elections and we're now paying for those years of unchecked greed and stupidity.

It was upside down. I got out of the car to turn it over. I like the black in front of the orange. Very Halloween in the middle of summer. This picture will keep hurricanes away from South Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. May they all go northward

The irony is that it's a federal building in downtown Miami and is also an urban oasis.

Open Diary Dead Again

I've been writing over there at open diary dot com for (me love you) long time. But, as has happened in the past, it's down and I'm hankering to write something, so here I am at my beloved unlimited stop, my neglected and unloved blog.

And by down, I mean this is the message I was served by the internetwebz: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/includes/dbconnect.inc, line 3

wth?

I'm asking myself right now, "Why did I pay open diary dot com $100 for the privilege of posting my thoughts on the internetwebz forever? It's my digital legacy.


Ja. Ja.

Anyway, I was chatting with my pal Lincoln on Facebook last week and he wrote, "I hate OD." I was shocked. Yes, shocked. What happened? Kitchen Goddess, Canned Ham, Brian Hicks and others simply abandoned their blogs. (We never wanted to admit that our special diaries were just weblogs.) We were pioneers. And then we were gone. Is that our digital legacy?

What words will live on after you are gone?



Meanwhile, back in the year one when you belonged to no one - I drove downtown today specifically to see public art.











I wanted to see Maya Lin's earth sculpture with its odd mounds of (native) Bermuda grass, an image evoking the Florida coastline. The three foot mini-hills, although seemingly off-limits, can be used as a play area. I was hesitant to walk there because it doesn't seem very inviting although its intent is to provide casual seating. One can even see the mounds of earth as enhancing the perimeter security. Click on the photo to see the earth sculpture up close and personal.


Of course, I want to go back and photograph it again because it figures that the federal government would spend huge amounts of money to create such a thing. The courthouse itself takes up the entire downtown block where a television station used to live for many years before moving north to Broward County. Just up the street is the empty lot where the original Miami arena was built.

That's another story altogether.
