Tips and Tricks

Ferrier. That is what they call a person who shoes horses. And Beowulf... an open source project over at sourceforge?? Maybe??
PDF. A really neat resource. When there R embedded hot links and the little hand points the way... let the learning begin.
After the chat over at TI, Eye have to ask the question... is this here really a venue for an online portfolio? Isn't this really an online portfolio of my daily ramblings? And then Eye remembered...
Eye taught Alpine skiing to children ages 6-12yrs. and Eye did this 4 eleven yrs. The best part of this job was having an office at the apex of the world; 4000ft. above sea level. Just looking out over the spine of Mountains most every day. Or, in a blinding snow storm while trying to calm the fear from the brain of a seven year old. Then, the smiles after a successful day on the mountain. There weren't many days that went by that Eye didn't learn something new from those children. Things Eye still use to this day. Things that help me survive.
Eye guess what Eye am trying 2 say is that surfing a Art or Music sight, no matter how well meaning, to expose children 2 the finer aspects of Art or Music, just isn't the same as visiting a Museum, or attending a live symphonic performance. The point is redundant and moot. Eye do not have to orchastrate a class room filled with spoiled children demanding to B entertained. And this, Day in and Day out of every school year... Eye Do Know How These children R because Eye had 2 lead them out into the wilderness, on a snow covered mountain, in every type of weather... Just a reflection of the HomeLife, believe U Me... Eye do sympathsize with the teacher.
Eye was just fortunate enough 2 have the mountain as my classroom, and Mother Nature as my Teacher.
