The video on this blog just tugged at my heart! If you are a pet lover then you will well appreciate this blog by a fellow pet owner. (To some it might be a bit graphic and if you don't like seeing animals in bad condition then I recommend that you don't go to this site because of the pictures)
but as heartbreaking as it might seem at first these pets look very happy and as pet owners that's what we want for our pets!

Good Luck!
This little picture I made with a graphics program called Terragen. I think its short for terrain generator. This program is a free download from here. This free 3D program helps you to create landscapes and scenery. Since I did this picture in a rush you can see even with that you can create some gorgeous scenery pictures.
The above picture is from a 3D program called Bryce. I was telling my brother about this 3D program because I was able to download it for free (minus the complicated registration process). As you can see in the picture above you can make landscapes, ocean terrains and 3D objects! Now I just made this picture on the sly because I wanted to show my brother what the Bryce 3D program can do. The sky, the ground and even the foilage are all things that you can change!I have just started this page but since there are so many people having so many problems with Adsense, this page will surely grow in no time!
Since then I have created my own Myspace page:
I was watching Nightline and they were doing a story about MySpace. Two guys thought it up and then it became this global phenomanon(sp?). MySpace is in over 14 different countries and in a number of different languages. The two guys sold it for $600 Million Dollars! and from the Nightline story they are still working there.
The main thrust of the story was about how popular MySpace is. It started out as a social networking place and then the music bands got in on it to promote their music. Soon filmakers both new and experienced jumped in on the bandwagon and even the movie "Pirates of the Carribean" had a MySpace Page! The number of Myspace members has grown to 175 Million people! Now the politicians are getting in on the act by having their own MySpace page.
MySpace means exactly that - you get to have your space on the Internet. You get to have your own webpage and the best thing about it is that it is free! If you go and take a look at my MySpace page it will give you an idea as to what kind of page you can make. Some of them are very sophisticated but there's also a website where you can pick a layout and make it your own. Once you finished your page you can look around at other people's pages and ask them to be your "friend" and they will be added to your list of friends on your MySpace page.
Now you may wonder why would you want a MySpace page and the reason why most people have one is because it's fun. You get to have your own webpage (and blog), put on it almost anything you like including music and video clips - all told it's just like having your own space on the Internet!
So if you're looking for a site where you can make your own webpage for free (plus have a free blog) then a good place for you to start would be with
It does fit in with the original intention that I had for this blog which was to let my brother know what I was doing and what was going on here in Philadelphia.
So far I see that a lot of people are using this site to let others know about what they are doing. Of course some people are using it for other things other than what the site was intended for but a lot of the people are posting their updates.
I know it may seem like a novelty kind of thing but I thought it was pretty interesting and let's see how long I can keep this up.
It is a pretty good idea for being able to keep track of another person.
8/28/08 Update! - Twitter Suspended Accounts!
It is quite possible that you might get your Twitter.com account suspended! I got an email saying that someone was "following" me on Twitter and when I went to check out their Twitter.com page the site said that the account was suspended! Here is an excerpt from the Twitter.com site:
"A Twitter account may be suspended for a variety of reasons. The most common of which is automated mass following or other types of spammy behavior."
You can find out more about this by clicking here.
8/6/08 Update! - If you belong to Twitter.com then you should definitely ead this blog post about a kind of spam-related link targeted towards Twitter users!
It seems that there are links provided in some Twitter messages that if you click on them will lead you to an adult-related site that you have to pay for in order to look at the adult pictures!
So Be Careful Out There!
I believe that everybody that has a blog should read this article!
Would you believe that my cat also has a blog? There should be a link to it on the above link.
You'd be surprised at how many people have websites devoted entirely to their pets. I have even seen a few memorial websites that honor beloved pets.
Just another wacky example of the many things that you can find on a website!
Even though there's a section for Philadelphia apartments I just put a link to the whole website (never know who's reading my blog and from where). Maybe you have a rating of your own that you would like to post.
I know that there are some apartments in Philly with some real high rents and the city is always building more! Most people I know couldn't afford to pay the high rents that some of these places charge. Hopefully if you are looking for an apartment you'll be able to find something that you can afford.
She is really going through some drama but I did notice that she works at a grocery store and her entries brought back memories of when I worked at the Shoprite. She mentions things like "clocking out" and having to stay later because the person that's supposed to relieve her is coming in late.
Her posts are really interesting. There's this guy that she likes but she's afraid to ask him out. It kind of sounds like one of those romantic movies.
Anyway there are lots of blogs on the Internet (mine included) but it gets kind of frustrating when you visit one and the person hasn't posted for a few months. Some people forget about their blogs so they haven't been posted to in years.
But I thought that this one would make an interesting read for 'ya
Oddly enough my brother is just as computer crazy as I am and he told me of a recent problem that he had when he tried to send an attached file of some forms. It seems the program that he used to convert his documents would only convert them into a .bmp format and since .bmp formats can be huge in size he couldn't attach the file because it exceeded the size limit of his email. That's when I told him about the Gimp Program.
Gimp is a very powerful graphics program that is open sourced and free to download. Here is the website address:
I downloaded this program myself and since it has so many capabilities it just confuses the heck out of me but I do use the program when I need the .html coding numbers for different color palets. I'm sure in time I will learn my way around this program. My graphics program of choice is Paint Shop Pro and for more simpler graphic work I will just use Windows Paint.
But the main reason I recommended the Gimp Program to my brother is because this program will let you take a .bmp graphic and convert is to a .jpg or .gif extension which will make the file a lot smaller in size. (I didn't mention the fact that to make a graphic file smaller that you could also reduce the number of colors if its a simple black and white graphic)
So there you have it - another freebie courtesy of the Internet!
