A friend of mine just forwarded me this comic featuring some clever haiku/senryu, and I wanted to share these with you. I find them delightful.

a day in sunlight
amidst the cherry blossoms
chatty Stellers Jays
On the Edge of Night
on the edge of night
I’m walking beneath the wind
a gentle rain falls
Springtime’s Glories
springtime’s glories
sunlight moves through the petals
wary of the breeze
Haiku Response to the FOWC: Disparage
who can disparage
the wind’s grace within the sky
bird’s dance on the wing
This is my response to the Fandango Word Of The Day Challenge: “disparage”. One of my photos taken earlier this week, image edited in Adobe Spark, font Lora Regular.
Sandra and Woo: A Little Fun With PhotoShop
I’ve long enjoyed the webcomic “Sandra and Woo”. Today the artist posted the following strip:
I found this amusing. However, me being me, I was disappointed that he didn’t create a 3rd solution (Solution C), so I went ahead and did this for him (I love PhotoShop).
I was pretty proud of how quickly I was able to whip this together, getting the font to match and copying/pasting the images over. Anyway, I hope you find it as amusing as I did. And you should definitely go and check out their site.
Design Oops of the Day
Stumbled upon this layout oops today. Designer friends: don’t forget about the gutters on your magazine layouts! Tiny details can have large impacts!

WordPress Tip: Comment Moderation
A blogger I follow is being harassed on her site. She’s done a key thing: blocking the email addresses from setting up new accounts and providing more abusive comments. One thing that people can do in addition: set comments for manual approval. Though it doesn’t prevent someone from sending you abusive comments, it does prevent them from being seen on YOUR site. It’s a simple process to set up.
First, head to your dashboard. Scroll down the left-hand side until you see “settings”. Click on that, the look for the link to “Discussion” (the image directly below is from the WordPress.com dashboard, linked via JetPack. If you’re in your site’s dashboard, you’ll see “Discussion” open up below…that’s the third image below). The last part is simply checking “Comment must be manually approved” then clicking “Save Settings”. Now, any time someone posts a comment, you’ll get a message asking if you want to approve it. It provides some sense of security via control.
Here’s where to find it on your self-hosted WordPress Dashboard.
