Because Vineyard Kids ARE Just That Cool

So I was talking with one of my firends from high school from the Vineyard and we suddenly started to realize that a lot of them are wickedly talented and alrady famous. This left us feeling a bit down but I couldn't help of being really proud of them. I know it's completely selfish and vain but these are a few of the cool kids I had the pleasure of being in the same grade/class/school with and I actually knew....

Willy Mason...I remember when he first sang this song on the MVPAC stage...

May V. Oskan...author and all around creative genius published her first book at 21 and is sold all over the world and on Amazon.com...

                                 Becoming The Crane

Nina Violet..folk musician who used to play the viola in the MVRHS String Orchestra with Mr. Tinus and sister to May Oskan. You can listen to here here on her MySpace page.

Tim Correira...Photographer extraordinaire. He was working for the Boston Globe but you can Google his name and you'll see hundreds of articles for all kinds of news publications.

Those are just a few but I thought it was really kind of cool and these are amaing people so definately check out their stuff!!

NEW!! (layout that is...)

So after a lot of monkying around last night (until abotu 4am this morning) and this afternoon I have been able to decipher the wonders (somewhat) of HTML! *big grin*

I was getting bored with my other templates for both this blog and my other one here. You'll also see that I have the same post in both places but I'm trying to stop procrastinating as I am way far behind on my NaNoWriMo-ing. So I hope you like it and while I'm fairly certain almost everything works there may be some glitches that I still need to iron out so bear with me! Thanks!

*Muahahaha!*

So I am a genius...well maybe not really but I am fabulous when it comes to finding things. Last night I tried to get my webcam up and running but I had a couple of major hang ups. Problem number one is that I couldn't find the CD for my camera and the drivers that Windows downloaded were freeware and sucked. The second problem was that the company that made my webcam is no longer around...the end reslut of this last night was that it had me banging around the condo trying to find that stupid CD which I know I have but couldn't remember what CD case it's in or where the other CD cases are.

It's rather silly of me but I dreamt about this last night. I woke up this morning DETERMINED to find a donwloadable copy of the drivers and software that I needed to run my apparently ancient webcam. I mus have had about eight or nine tabs in three windows open searching for all different terms for this thing and guess what? I found it!!! *hehehe* Now I have a fully functioning webcam (at lease on my end of things, I've yet to try it out with other people) and I have burned a compressed version of the software onto a blank CD and backed it up on my external drive so hopefully I will never have to go through this particular headache again!
