A utility company's pictures of huricane destruction

Take a look at these If you're wondering why you don't have power down there in TX, this might be why. (But then you wouldn't see this blog then would you.)

My current wanderings

In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth. Before a child is born, a parent prepares it's room. I've been reflecting on a few things, and please forgive me if I use this Blog as a forum to express my thoughts. (Programming information will continue later.) I thought of the creative 6 days in relation to a parent preparing a room, and getting everything in ready for a child who is about to come into the world. I thought about how mankind, unscarred and innocent, was placed as a child in a 'new room' with all they need to exist and grow. A parent will give their child toys, and objects, to learn about and use as they grow and develop. This parent knows, that a child may damage the toys, the room, or in other ways leave things in disorder. While these are not the correct actions, the parent allows them. They can be undone.

They eat with those hands?

Thoughts on life and stuff...

I am convinced that every female Hollywood star has a mirror at home. Not just any mirror, but a special mirror, in front of which, every night, they utter the words, 'Who is the fairest in all the world?' Also, I'm currently reading 'A Tale of Two Cities'. This is a classic that somehow slipped through my net. I've noticed the horrendous things that happened way back when, and realized something. Revolutions and Civil Wars. It's only really a Revolution if the new guys win, otherwise it's a Civil War. And these wars take place to change things, replace the government. But you know what? Even when the government changes, the country's past sticks with it. France's poor past is still a part of it's image, no matter what it's people did to try to right the wrongs.

Entering the world of Java

We recently hired somebody w/ a little bit of Java experience. We're hoping he can convert my cropping control to something more users will have access to. (Sorry, but we just can't shake some of these photographers and artsy people out of their Macs.) When I see things like this: public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, imgWidth, imgHeight, this); } I think to myself, hmm... that looks familiar.
