Ah, only a few more hours left to 2003.
Let’s see… Some Blessings I can count. Just off the top of my head.
- My Beloved
- Newt
- My brother is on his way to good health.
- I’m getting in better and better shape.
- Old friends coming out of the woodwork.
- At a gig that makes a positive difference in the world.
- Made a number of kindly friends.
- The vast majority of this year’s stresses have been alleviates or are in the works for correction / removal.
- Improved Computer system
Not too shabby.
Some New Years Resolutions (I have about the same ones every year.)
128×48, the graphic resolution of the original TRS-80
160×160, PalmOS devices in their original PDA form factor
640×480, sometimes colloquially called VGA, since it was the big advance brought by IBM’s introduction of VGA
800×600, casually referred to as SVGA, the comfort zone on a 15-inch CRT
1024×768, generally said to be XGA. Much liked on a 17-inch CRT
1152×864, which is about as much as most people can stand on a 17-inch CRT
1280×1024, generally considered optimal on a 19-inch CRT
1600×1200, graphic design sweet spot, at least until something better than a 21-inch, 72 dpi CRT goes mainstream
My current desktop: 2048×768 (2*1024×768)
Since it’s Pretty much the New Year, I’ve taken down the Christmas Decor on my site… I’m thinknig about a nice birthday / candlemas / Imbolc / Groundhog’s one for February. Here’s one of my fave online cards for the holidays… arrow keys move.
I hope that 2004 is superior in every way to 2003 by means of love, happiness and health to any and all. Though, if it comes down to it, I’m putting my loved ones first, then myself, and then everyone else gets what’s left. 🙂
