			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Was pulled off to see a wee bit of a fish that thrives on Dioxin and other nastiness in its river home by a <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/02/17/133842089/toxic-avengers-pollution-drove-fish-evolution?sc=fb&amp;cc=fp">NPR Facebook link</a> .  Wow! That tomcod is a cute little fish and it was a pretty amazing article. I had no idea evolution happened that fast.</p>
<p>A line about the other fish getting liver tumors made me wonder if people in that area also suffered liver tumors or maybe if people are smart enough they don&#8217;t drink water from the Hudson River.  Anyways, I tried to google-up a map to tell me and I found <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/02/17/133842089/toxic-avengers-pollution-drove-fish-evolution?sc=fb&amp;cc=fp">this map</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://cancercontrolplanet.cancer.gov/atlas/index.jsp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-766" title="cancermortmap" src="http://wondersnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/cancermortmap.jpg" alt="us-cancer-mortality-map" width="428" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>you can set all types of parameters except the obvious ones such as all ages, all genders and other races.</p>
<p>Then I noticed that the newest data available is 1994.</p>
<p>These are things that make me wonder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking back over my blog  in search of answers to the conundrum of what to do with this site, I can&#8217;t help but notice the posts are  few and far between.</p>
<p>I wonder if  that causes people who come here and read to think that I lose interest in being a web designer?</p>
<p>In reality, the times when posts are sparse is when I&#8217;m actually being a web developer :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="dictionary" href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/forsooth">Forsooth</a> is not archaic. I thought it would be. I haven&#8217;t read it anywhere for a long time and it&#8217;s been even longer since I heard anybody say it.</p>
<p>I looked it up the other day because someone on ?? (some answer site) was looking for examples of archaic words. It is not categorized by Merriam-Webster as such.</p>
<p>Good on them! It means &#8220;in truth, truthfully, verily&#8221;. We need a lot more forsooth in the world!</p>
<p>So, forsooth, I have not accomplished with this blog what I set out in my <a href="http://wondersnet.com/hello-world">first post</a> to do and I&#8217;m still at the same point I was then.</p>
<p>I suppose I should, truthfully, decide what I really want to do with this domain name :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Decided that I&#8217;m going to content myself with pretty much a stock template for my new site redesign.  Of course, I want to add a little bit of text to explain something, like so:</p>
<p><a href="http://hoopbuilding.com"></a><a href="http://hoopbuilding.com" target="_self"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-727" title="wannabe-ImageInstructions" src="http://wondersnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/wannabe-ImageInstructions1.jpg" alt="how-do-I-put-text-here" width="426" height="398" /></a><br />
Seems like that would be easy enough right?  Wouldn&#8217;t you think maybe a little &lt;div&gt; somewhere?</p>
<p>Probably, but that real estate lies within a Site5 Flow Module.</p>
<p>Apparently, I&#8217;m going to have to pick that apart to put anything there?</p>
<p>Oh, no, here we go again Lord!</p>
<p>P.S. I&#8217;ll let you know how it goes. Or, you can just click on the picture and see if I ever got there.</p>
<p>P.P.S. I got close but it&#8217;s not a ringer :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a convoluted way, I just came across another designer&#8217;s site that is a bit like this one. One of those obvious work in progress sites that make you wonder.</p>
<p>This guy had made an interesting comment on an article Guy Kawasaki tweeted.  The comment  was a bit snobby  in a designer sort of way so I went looking for his site. Think I found it or at least someone&#8217;s site who has the same name and claims to be a designer.</p>
<p>You could kind of piece together that he probably started the site in about 2007 and hasn&#8217;t been there since 2009 or so. </p>
<p>It was a nice start, the guy is probably a great designer that&#8217;s too busy to bother.</p>
<p>Oops, and that&#8217;s where the possible parallels end. </p>
<p>As far as design goes, I know I&#8217;m probably always gonna be a wannabee. When I see it, I know what I like, but as far as creating it from the recesses of my brain? Nah, it ain&#8217;t in me. The spark just don&#8217;t kindle.</p>
<p>I could let that change my course and desires in life but it doesn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s no matter. That&#8217;s what templates and vector art is for. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m good with words, specifically, key words. </p>
<p>We all have our talents you know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;After 10-15 years, the foxes he bred showed affection to their keepers, even licking them. They barked, had floppy ears and wagged their tails. They also developed spotted coats – a surprising development that was connected with a decrease in their levels of adrenaline, which shares a biochemical pathway with melanin and controls ­pigment production.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/628a8500-ff1c-11de-a677-00144feab49a.html#ixzz1AKAsrxEO">FT Magazine</a></p>
<p>this excerpt is from a totally fascinating article about the 35,000 stray dogs roaming Moscow. Hmmm</p>
<p>I wonder if humans have that same biochemical path?</p>
<p>I was led down that engaging path by Chris Pederick&#8217;s <a href="http://stuffimreading.com/">Stuff I&#8217;m Reading</a>. <a href="http://chrispederick.com/">Chris Pederick</a> wrote two of the very few Firefox Extensions that I use. Web Developer and User Agent Switcher are pretty much the reason I usually work in FF. He&#8217;s one of those people who make me go hmmm.</p>
<p>Of course, the <a href="http://FT.com">FT.com</a> article also led me to Andrei Poyarkov who works at A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in south-west Moscow but that&#8217;s an adventure for another time. I&#8217;m losing the bewitching hour as I write this and I have some witching to do.</p>
<p>If you never see me again, it&#8217;ll mean I cast the wrong spell and can&#8217;t migrate to a VPS.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Do as I say, don&#8217;t do as I do,&#8221; was never a phrase my kids heard around the house though I grew up with it.  I had the opinion that a parent should lead by example and sometimes I even tried to set a good one.</p>
<p>Now, here I am telling clients to keep their sites updated and fresh and look at my own &#8220;home&#8221; site!  For shame!  I hadn&#8217;t updated WordPress in at least a year and the site is fugly still. Definitely a case of &#8220;do as I say&#8221;.</p>
<p>Well, the updating is done.  As ever, it was an automatic breeze from the WP Dashboard.  Now we&#8217;ll see if I get around to doing something about fugly.</p>
