in this morning calm
do not rush; embrace the calm
near the feasting bees
Ah, the beauty of mornings. No one else awake, the sun rising, hidden by trees and clouds. A perfect Seattle morning…for me, at least.

Tonight’s Haiku: May 19, 2020
A Sea Of Bits
in this sea of bits
the face of God floating by
through digital mists
A Dark, Rainy Night Haiku
the sound of the rain
rolling through the night’s darkness
bending the flowers
The Power Of Animation
The ability of animated graphics to communicate is powerful. This one shows the evolution of US Death Rates during the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic, a sobering topic. In just a few moments, it demonstrates the point deeper and richer than a 10 minute PowerPoint could.
Sunset on my Walk: Tonight’s Haiku
Moving through my neighborhood, a suburb of Seattle, as the sun does as it must. Gravity’s handiwork across this sky. Rain started to fall as I neared home.
below the sunset
and the glorious red sky
soon the songbirds sleep

Fun With Photoshop: Safeway & Albertsons
Several years ago now, grocery chain Albertson’s acquired one of their rivals, Safeway. (If you didn’t know this, here’s an article to bring you up to speed)
Reminiscing about that I had the idea to combine the two logos. Not very timely, but seemed kinda fun. Anyway, one of my goals is to do something with Adobe every day. So here’s today’s goofing around.
A Poetic Response To Klass
I discovered Tom Ashbrook this week (Spotify’s algorithms can do good work) and wanted to share this with you all.

A MS Word Student Tool
As someone who’s used Word for decades, I rarely find surprises. Yet, sometimes I do. Now, it’s important to note that I’m currently studying web application development at Edmonds College, I’m writing far more than I have in years. And it’s the first time in, god, I don’t know how long, I have written in an academic style. Blogging (both professionally and personally) and creating plenty of text-based content helped keep my writing chops solid. However, there are always new tools to explore. Today I discovered “Read Aloud” under the “Review” tab.
A great editorial tool. Having my essay read out loud showed nicely several flow issues and a couple of grammatical glitches. Nothing that would’ve failed the paper, but I value quality and, well, those items don’t show quality. So, thanks Office Team, for another useful tool that I hadn’t hear of.
