2007 January 7 Sunday.
As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, the sky was cloudy and it was very cold in the morning. Did it really SNOW? Well, sort of. There were some big fluffy flakes falling from the sky by late afternoon, and then as it got darker and darker, the wind began to howl, and the snow swirled around and around, in a natural spiral motion. It was a bit frightening, but the bark (of the dog) was worse than the bite (of the dog). Meaning, the noise was worse than the result of all the noise. The resulting storm left very little snow on the ground. I won't be going snowboarding today. What to do,.... I know, stay indoors and learn how to use Macromedia FreeHand MX much more skillfully. Fortunately for me after doing an internet search for eLearning tutorials for this software, I found a very good website. You can see it too by clicking here. Not only was a good part of it FREE, but it was also very well produced and presented. Thank you for making that, not just for me, but for millions and millions, maybe more, people who will benefit from your excellent instruction. Damn good job! I spent about six straight hours watching and re-watching the introductory lessons on how to use the basic TOOL SET in FreeHand MX. What an easy and enjoyable way to learn. Right here at home. Via the World Wide Web. Isn't it great? Yes, very great and very wide spread. Is it a good thing, or a bad thing? As with EVERYTHING, it is BOTH, at the SAME TIME. The easy way to visualize this concept is to think of a DOUBLE EDGE sword (razor) that cuts both ways, and equally well in both directions. BE CAREFUL how you use the TOOLS at your disposal. Do you want to be sucked up into the sky, or sucked down into the vortex. To the bottom of the sea. Either way is possible, and equally so. Watch your step, and tread lightly. Your thoughts are in your hands, and in your feet as well.
