National Geographic Photo of the Day

The widget from National Geographic is very nifty, but it doesn't seem to work for me with the Firefox Browser.    With Internet Explorer, it looks fine embedded in the text, but gets cut in half when loaded into the side bar.  Dunno if it is worth fiddling with, as the daily photo can be viewed from this link:

Literature Online

Project Gutenberg is getting bigger and better all the time.  If you don't know this site, which makes hundreds of thousands of works of literature available to read online for free, or you just haven't been there in a while, here is the link:

Here is another place to check out free e-books:

Sometimes I get busy and cannot draw for a few days, but while I'm working at the computer, this thought is in the back of my mind, "I should be drawing!" and it wants to take over, so I keep a few in-progress photos of different things around on the computer desktop just to glance at from time to time and that makes me feel better.

Aside from the blue teapot and the furry friends, this is a pretty accurate drawing of my kitchen.   I made it as exercise in background space when I was learning perspective.
