Sad little tree

Recently I posted a picture taken in Norway in which a melting glacier exposed a very human looking face that appeared to be weeping vast rivers of tears into the sea. This post became very popular, and still gets hundreds of views every day. MOTHER NATURE CRIES A RIVER OF TEARS
As I was looking through my online photo album today, I came upon a picture that I’d forgotten about. (more. . .)

Just a quick note about a new feature that has been added. You will notice across the top of all of the pages within the World Blogosphere that there is a new bar. It is the BuddyPress bar.
BuddyPress is an additional resource attached to WordPress that will make the site more sociable. Think of it as the Facebook of our own site.
It will allow you to upload profile (more. . .)

What My Wife Got From the Education Microgrant

I wanted to start this post by saying thank you to anyone I haven’t personally thanked. Either because you were just a friend or family member of someone I directly contacted about voting, or if you were someone we don’t know at all that just came across my post and took the time to go and vote. Also, thank you to those I already personally thanked!
My wife did indeed (more. . .)

Mother Nature Cries A River of Tears

If this doesn’t melt your cold heart, nothing will.
In Norway, on the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, the ice is melting.  Rising sea levels due to early ice melt are causing great concern to scientists around the globe.
Marine photographer and environmental lecturer Michael Nolan captured the stunning picture of the disappearing glacier, and the image that turned up is at once awe inspiring (more. . .)

From a Whisper to a Scream

A cry for help is sometimes a silent scream. It bellows into the night only to dissipate into vapour, caught in an invisible mist of sadness that surrounds but never penetrates those who pass it by. A death shroud.

Natalina’s Fiction: Tanglewood – Prologue

Taking a page from Cheryl’s book (You remember Cheryl of Vampiredaze.com, right?  Author of My Awakening?) I’ve decided that I’m going to take a leap and post some of my fiction here on the blog.  Eventually, this is intended to be a novel, but I’ll be posting the story here as it develops.  Likely once I am finished, I’ll come back and delete these posts, but for those of you (more. . .)

Help My Wife Win an Education Microgrant from Dell and WeAreTeachers

Click here to vote now.
For those that do not know, my wife is a 4th grade teacher here in Oklahoma. She recently took a two day professional development workshop on “Digital Storytelling.”
Digital storytelling is basically just what it sounds like. You take digital images, either pictures you have taken or have found online and create your own little story. You then overlay some background music if you’d like, (more. . .)

Driving Home

I was on my way home from work, and I passed a little shop called “Abundant Treasures.†I wondered what was in that shop. Some kind of gift shop filled with cards and trinkets and teddy bears? Or maybe a thrift store, smelling dank and dusty with lots of stuff on the cheap. Whatever it was, I didn’t stop to look. I wondered, but I didn’t pull the car over (more. . .)

Extraordinary Intelligence 100th Post!

That’s right.   It almost passed me by, but yesterday as I was perusing my blog, as I do because it is a darn good blog, I realized that my Chupacabra post was post #99.
I pondered the possibilities.  One hundred posts is a nice little milestone.  I had to think of something special.   But what topic is worthy of such a distinction?  What topics haven’t I touched on?  At first, (more. . .)

It’s Birthday Time

Each year my birthday usually feels about the same as any other day. I am more thankful to be alive, however, and appreciate my blessings more. Those are wonderful things, yes, but usually that’s all I feel. And maybe I enjoy a nicer meal than usual, or marvel at some thoughtful gift my husband or friend has gotten me.
This year feels different. I don’t know why exactly. I suppose (more. . .)

Lost

Here I am
In a boat
In a storm.
I’ve lost control of my boat,
My life.
Do I see death,
Or is it a vision
Of new life?

A look at Neuromancer

In 1863, Jules Verne embarked on a writing career that would span 60 novels, and spawned countless classics.   What is most memorable about the works of Verne, is that he managed to foresee some of the modern marvels that we now take for granted.  His prophetic works envisioned airplanes, glass skyscrapers, helicopters, trips to the moon, submarines, television, guided missiles, air conditioning, and motion pictures.  Few other authors have been (more. . .)

My Extraordinarily Bizarre World

I’ve been having so much fun with my camera.  I recently did a few posts on my personal blog about items around my home and things to see in my city.  However, when I showed them to my brother, this was his reaction…
“You didn’t even show all of your cool stuff.  The kind of stuff you have that makes me a little creeped out whenever I come over.  I (more. . .)
