Am I the only one who has noticed that some folks make major mistakes when they list items on ebay... and often, it is for the best benefit of the buyer! *raises happy eyebrows*
A simple misspelling, can lead most others astray, and leave the keen eye/seracher to win an auction at a much better rate than the norm. Now you can simply do an Ebay misspelling search *nodding* yup, that's right. The good folks at SpellingSearch have made it greatly simplified for you/us. Plug in your sought item/s, pick a category, and begin perusing the possibilities.

She's done... finally! (Ok, so I actually finished her up Sunday night... after a nice bout at the skirt in church!)
Today she was delivered to KnotAnotherHat for display & drumming up interest in the Crocheted Cutie class I'll be teaching in November. (sign up, you know you want to make your own amigurumi!) Sara & Yvonne seemed to give their approval... I'm honestly quite proud, especially under the circumstances! She turned out really cute, & I can only improve with each attempt, yes/no?

I'm suddenly intrigued as to what exactly VGA is, and how it might be able to serve me...

First, let's take a look at the VGA Recorder PRO. Technical Specifications. Pretty, impressive... Apparentally this technology is especially helpful in recording presentations, conferences, or trainings, plus for surveillance/monitoring. Then you have the more geeky side of memorializing computer use & interaction with other devices. Hrm...

This recorder in particular allows you to simultaneously not only record the VGA input... but added other audio & video as well! It merges the two (or three) into one phatty file, supercedeing the capabilities of mere VCR-based solutions. Aside from the merging capabilites, it can switch... seamlessly, between mutiple VGA signals, without interrupting the other audio/video recording... very smooth!

*shaking head from the wealth of information* Wow! That's some impressive hardware.

when I've got something to say, something serious... trying... difficult... and possibly very much private... I can't just come out and say it. In fact, I find myself lingering, longing for just the right moment, feeling, atmosphere in which I can open up as such. This provides for much frustration with a friend who has no reason to see it coming, and would otherwise cut the conversation short so as not to just mull about in seemingly nothingness. *sigh* Strange and twisted, I know. But how I've realized I work.

Perhaps knowing/acknowledging is half the battle. As is, sharing the scenario/s. One can't make improvements upon themselves or their actions without any input indicating the necessity. We go about with an "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" sort of mentality that at times serves us better than the concept implies. So we must rely on eachother, and God's gentle knocking upon our hearts & minds, to open up our eyes to possible places of needed improvement.

I love trivia... in fact I used to run a consistant trivia challenge/contest in the sidelines of my journal entries (back in the day/s!)
Something about random tid-bits of information that pop up at unexpected times, makes for great banter, good conversation, and excellent board game skills! Now, if only I could so well recall God's Word!?

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader is always a great source for light reading, new quote discovery, and feeding this need for trivial information. Avivia Trivia fits the bill in a blog! From "Useless" Facts about Shaving & Trivia on Toys to The Truth about Nutella & 10 Alternative Uses for Hairspray, there's bound to be something of interest for everyone... and a bounty of trivia to be discovered!
