Complete Non-Web girl needs advice about creating a website. in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I want to create a website. The purpose of it is to hopefully sell some photographs and some fiction that I write. I would also like to be able to put a blog on there (just for me) that I could ideally link to from my cell phone (or am I dreaming on that one?). I know that my first step is to buy a domain name. Step two is to choose a company for web-ho

Experiment: Day 4 in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Still working on the master list today and I got a lot of it sorted out. It's mainly made up of long-term projects which will take a lot of steps to get done. Yesterday was a pretty good day in that I got everything done that I planned. I just didn't plan a lot because I had major events going on. Today was a strange day. I spent most of my time w

Dude, it's not like you've been sitting on the couch for 13 years eating cheetohs. You got an education! Having been to university and gotten two bachelors, I value the experience and knowledge I gained. But I was also fortunate enough to learn that not all valuable educations come from a school. It sounds like you have learned a lot, done a lot and more importantly, you seem to have thought about what those experiences have mea

Sounds like a good idea to me, but wouldnt I have to know what stung me? Not necessarily. There's a whole bunch of tests that they can do to find out if you are allergic or not. My husband had allergies and we couldn't figure out what, so a specialist did a broad range test. She took blood and came b

LW, I've heard that some people can develop allergies to bee stings after a few stings. It might be worth checking that allergy out with an allergy specialist in case you need to be carrying around an epi-pen. And I know it's not funny, but your description of running into a June bug was funny. Kind of like a what happens when Physics meets Entomology kinda thing. Scary result though. By the way, I need to correct myself. I wrote

think it was called a black fly?? stung me, black flies are these little tiny guys that swarm all over you and rasp off bits. I had lots of experience with those when I was working in the forest in northern Canada. Some people swell up from it if they have an allergy. I'm thinking maybe a hor

i bet that hurt like a bitch! Yeah, she really screamed. I think a lot of it was fear and she got it out, and off right away. It certainly ended that night's festivities in a hurry and it was a long time until we were allowed to roast marshmallows (and we were back to sticks).

I was in my pool and had a brown bat fly circles around me....picking bugs out of the water. It came within arm's length of me....such a cute little guy I like bats. There's quite a few of them in Tokyo. It never ceases to amaze me that there is any kind of wildlife here. I always end up singing the ba

"So, what kind of stuff have you had come flying at you refusing to let go?" My sister had a flaming marshmallow stick to her nose. We were having a marshmallow roast but instead of sticks, we were using straightened coat hangers. Her marshmallow caught fire and she brought the marshmallow out and towards her to blow it out but the recoil of the wire gave it some extra bend and it caught her on the tip of her nose. Fortunately, she reacted

great photo little whip!!! Looking at his poky legs I can see he's got some velcro-like grip. I told my husband about this and he said, "did it bite you?" in a really concerned voice. Growing up in Japan, he has had lots of experience with them. Having grown up in Canada, a praying mantiss falls on the exotic side for me. I said, "No! They bite! What can happen?" thinking I had a narrow escape. He said, "nothing. They

During a night session photography class, a praying mantiss landed on me. It was, I think, a BIG sucker! About as long as my forefinger! While shooting, I had the sensation of something crawling on my ankle and used my left foot to scratch it off. Then some flurry of grey, blurred movement in the dark and something is on my pants. I try to brush it off,

Fireworks over Tokyo Bay in Photography JoeUser Forums

I had an awesome photography class tonight. We went to a jetty just outside Tokyo Disney Sea that looks across Tokyo Bay towards Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower. Tonight was a fireworks festival that went on for an hour and a half. The spot was quite isolated as it was far from the action and not one of the "designated" viewing spots. The major advantage was being
