I have about 4 different prints by this artist. I was introduced to this 20 years ago in a relatives house who had a signed serigraf. I love the balance of childrens animation art mixed with grown up messages and meaning.

Most people I know don’t know how much i like to read. There is a simple reason for their misunderstanding. I find myself watching TV or playing Video Games! I just can’t find many books I like. Here are my favorite authors:
Terry Brooks – Sword of Shanara series and all the off shoots. He is a perfect story teller among the fantasy writers. I prefer his writing style above all others. If you are new to this genre I recommend this or Harry Potter series to get you started.
Terry Goodkind – Sword of Truth series. This series deals with honor, faith, morality, idealism, and a healthy dose of philosophy. These books can lead to lond discussions. After the 5th book there is a dark edge to the writing.
Piers Anthony – Xanth when i was younger, Incarnations of Immortality, Adept Series, Mode Series, and Pornucopia. I’ve read somewhere close to 90 of his books. The Incarnations have been my favorite series by Piers. They handle topics such as death, war, time, destiny nature, evil, and good.
J.K. Rowling – Deserves all the success she has had. I wish they had not made the movies for 10+ years after the books. Too many watched the movies instead of reading the books. Even so these books have opened reading to generations that embrace video gaming, internet, social networking and technology. This is no easy feat. I think these books should be required reading in schools. They teach values such as friendship, honor, trust, equality, self respect and humility.
Robert Fulghum - All of his inspirational books including the essay All I really know i learned in kindergarten. Under-rated. I recommend these to all friends and family. Unfortunately i think that most people read them and dismiss them as cute and not deep enough.

I recently bought the “Eye-Fi Share Wireless 2GB SD Card” for my Nikon DSLR Digital Camera and want to share a simple review of this unique product.
This card has 2 major benefits over a standard 2GB SD memory card.
1. Wirelessly upload photos to your computer. They are stored in the folder of your choice. It organizes them by date photo was taken.
2. Wirelessly upload photos to your favorite photo sharing, printing, blogging or social networking website (20 sites to choose from). I chose to share my photos here on www.examininglife.com. Just click the link at the top of my website labeled “Photo Gallery”.
The Eye-Fi Share offers the added convenience of uploading your photos, even when your computer is turned off. Using its Smart Boost capability, the Card will determine the most efficient path to upload pictures, going quickly to your computer if it’s on and then from there to the web if you’ve elected to share online, or going straight to the web if the computer is off. The photos will be stored securely and delivered to the computer the next time it is turned on.
There is one draw back! You can only upload from a preconfigured protected network or a non-protected open hotspot. If a hotel offers free access but requires you to click a page to agree to terms and conditions first then the card will be unable to connect.
