Station Break :: Boobies: I'm In Love..!

Heeheeee.. Made you look.. Is that not a fabulous photo or what..?

'Tis another night of this geekette wandering the many highways and bi-ways of the cyber World in hungry search for.. MORE POWER for my websites.. Tonight's adventure mixed the geekette with her past in wildlife rehabilitation and her possible future of being moved to Bolivia.. Whoo..

Was roaming the expanse of the Internet in search of all things Ruby on Rails when I encountered the little fellow above, a juvenile Booby from the Galápagos Islands.. The website, Oleb.net, was being highlighted as a way that Ruby on Rails is being used across the Web these days..

Well, sigh, all good things must eventually come to an end and so shall it be with this Station Break.. Off to see what else my Gray Matter can absorb before it finally zonks for the night..

Cyber hugs from Talking Rock..

How to get from CSB to 10 Donated Grains of Rice in One Easy Word..

Taking this lead with the proverbial grain of salt.......

A recent Internet search on the keyword phrase "community service board" plucked Knitting Sox Fan's One More Thing in from the depths of the Blogosphere.. The lead came in because she was referencing a website link her school's CSB had shared within, that URL being FreeRice.com..

Now I say I take this lead "with the proverbial grain of salt" because, being undeniably gull-a-bull, can't help but wonder and hope for the genuineness of Free Rice's promise at hand.. Once the first word is guessed and clicked through, though, this site features advertisers the likes of Radisson Hotels and Resorts, Apple's iTunes, and Toshiba undoubtedly in part as a response to Free Rice's admirable slogan expressing that they were created "in support of the United Nations World Food Program"..

Just one little caveat, one tiny little pinch at these fingertips, though.. Maybe someone could suggest a slighter more appealing mantra than Play and Feed a Hungry Person for their banner page.. :irrepressible cringe:

If you're up for a little cognitive challenge, check out Free Rice's FAQ, About, and Totals pages to see for yourself if they are worthy of your valuable Time.. From this (once again borrowed) desktop, looks like nothing to gain but the Smarts and some inescapable Feel Goods for the effort.. :wink:

ProBlogger :: If I had a million dollars..

If I had a million dollars, I'd use it to generate a not-for-profit that provides computers and ongoing technical training for persons with disabilities so that their own fingertips were free to sing glorious songs of self-advocacy..

Special to Darren and Lara.. See, it really never is over 'til the geekette with the slowest computer in the Universe (or at this particular moment in Time with any computer access at all) weighs in.. :wink, grin:

Each time your cutesy, fancy, inaccessible Flash presentation fries my 'puter..

I gets just a little bit more ill..

Each time your cutesy, fancy, inaccessible Flash presentation fries my 'puter..

I have to go through the entire reboot process of shutting everything down and then starting back up all over again..

Each time your cutesy, fancy, inaccessible Flash presentation fries my 'puter..

I'm just that much less likely to come back and set a spell on your cyber porch..

Each time your cutesy, fancy, inaccessible Flash presentation fries my 'puter..

I'm going to take just that much closer a look at those billions upon billions of other webpages offering a much more accessible virtual sandbox in which to play..

Each time your cutesy, fancy, inaccessible Flash presentation fries my 'puter..

You can bet your bottom greenback(s), these fingertips won't be the only ones..
