Richard Scarry's 92nd birthday.

oh i love those little critters! i remember the little golden books of them when i was a kid!
i didn't know if he was stiill alive or not so i had to do some digging....here's a little bio of him from Sterling Children's Books http://www.sterlingpublishing.com/kids/richard-scarry

Today would have been Les Paul's 96th birthday. It's an guitar and when the mouse pointer is moved over the strings, you hear each string making a note.

I wondered what that was about. The library computers have no speakers........

You know, Fif, that if you happened to pick up a cheap pair of earbuds, they usually plug right in to the computer so you can hear sounds without speakers.

I gotta check that out.

ooo les paul...he was one cool dude and anyone who loves music owes a lot to his ideas and work!

Do they come with really long wires? The spot to plug them in is about 6ft from my ears.

You may be able to find some that are long enough to reach that far, but I wouldn't know where find headphones that are that long.

I have Senhieser headphone studio quality with a 6 ft long chord and my guitar teacher from college jammed with Les Paul once!

most ear bugs are about 4ft long.....when i'm back where our headsets are i'll double check to see what else is there. you can get over the ear headsets that are longer but they're going to cost more.
how is your library set up? everyone i've seen had the computer towers right next to the monitor and keyboard. the input plug is sometimes in the front sometimes in the back and sometimes in both!

The Les Paul banner was really cool, there was even an option to record what you played with your mouse. Now, where it recorded or who heard it, I have no idea. Might not even be real.

But in any case, for those who can't hear it, when you mouse-over the strings they strum a guitar with nice, rich electric guitar sounds. You can move your mouse to play single or multiple strings and, if you have the talent, play something. (Not me!) Very nice interactive banner from Google.

I just now looked at Google and there is an animation for the total lunar eclipse.

That eclipse one was cool!

I thought it was one of the neatest ones I have seen Google do.

I missed the eclipse one..........

Father's Day

i wonder what that is supposed to be...the inside lining from a tie box? the liner from a candy box? it just looks familiar! .....could even be one of those little cards that you spray perfume on to sniff at the stores like Macys or Dillards:)

First day of summer.

Yahoo had a great banner for Father's Day and one for the first day of summer
also.

today's looks kinda creepy scary! or creepy anime.
i didn't realize until after i came in this afternoon, but i was outside reading when it passed into summer. welp, now i can say..i can't wait til its the first day of WINTER!!

Have to say, Google's First Day of Summer is not one of my favorites. Too screamy!

I'm kinda like Jeane. Glad that point has been crossed and we're back on the slide back the other way. Of course, that won't stop me complaining when it does get cold, or reverently celebrating the New Year at the Winter Solstice with fervent hopes for warmer weather. How fickle we humans are!

Bite your tongues!!!! Happy, Happy Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad it's raining and only 64° right now...
