After an unfortunate incident involving my credit card expiring and domain payment lapsing, adroitcreations.com was lost. Lucky for me, I snagged it back before it was entirely lost. So, after a few months of absence, my blog has returned! So much has changed, including a sudden increase in free time, so expect more frequent updates to my personal and projects blogs in particular.

Ah, it's good to be back.

Ok, if you haven't seen this shopping network slip-up, it's worth a viewing:

This goes hand in hand with this entry in my photo blog.

That is all.

I heard an ambulance off in the distance as I was driving to work earlier today, and started thinking about the evolution of our five senses. In particular, I think hearing is quite impressive, and often taken for granted. Consider that we as animals have the ability to detect and roughly pinpoint, in three-dimensional space, the location of an event occurring a great distance away and outside of our visual range, entirely by perceiving vibrations in the air. Not only that, but we are also able to deftly isolate specific auditory events from a cacophony of sounds, still isolating both the content and location. That means, given a torrent of vibrating air hitting our ears, we can separate out specific voices and sounds, figure out where each one is and specifically listen to one of them... That's pretty cool. Just saying.

Well, I officially have this blog set up to use Google Analytics! This way, you see, I can readily confirm that nobody is reading this. Indeed, nobody is! I suppose that's what I get for being a bore, really. Oh, and for having a website that I simply didn't update for years at a time. Doesn't really build much of a following...

In other news, quite unrelated, I've been channeling my boredom through Photoshop in the last couple of days. The pictographic representations of my boredom can be found on my photo blog, though I can't promise much about them other than the fact that they have pixels.

Not much else is going on in my world, especially since that wonderful drug I'm on (Cipro) makes me allergic to sunlight. Did I mention that we're having some of the nicest weather we've had in quite a while? No fair! Well, that's OK, it's not like I exactly live outdoors normally anyhow. I'll just enjoy the AC in my apartment .

Well, happy weekend to all!
