Evidently one can email a message to their Shutterfly account through a specific email address. I'm hoping I'll get a notification that there was a message sent so I can create an email filter to capture such stuff. Here goes nothing.

I've been talking about my neighbor, Jolly, from Uganda, for years. I have a picture of her on my website where we look at pots from Uganda. I wonder if a link works in this journal, let's try it out...

Today she came over to give me a tie dyed scarf her cousin makes in Uganda and I roped her into sit for a video. All these years and now the ClayMates can put a voice to a name for Jolly too.

Amy got back from French class at CCSF. I made her french toast and then showed her the video. She laughed. I'm always happy when she likes what I cook and laughs at my antics. Bless her heart. I have an absolutely goofy picture of Bushyaib and Amy that I have not shared anywhere. I should put it up here.

I tested the email function and it goes into the comments box on the right side of the page. I am making effort to get a response from my account here so I can create an email filter. It's so handy not to have everything show up in the inbox.

What I was making effort to do was to leave a comment on Peabody's shutterfly account and then got an invite to make my own account. I thought I might as well to show the CITYzens at CITY-Computer what this sort of account looks like.

The hardest thing about setting up another account is coming up with a name. "Out of sight, out of mind" seemed fitting because I have so many blogs and public accounts that I can't keep track of them, don't keep them up to date because most of them are experimental, like this one is. So out of sight, out of mind.

Also there's a second meaning to both "out of sight" and "out of mind". "Out of sight" is so hippy and I'm a boomer, "That love-in was out of sight" and "Out of mind" ... well we all know what it means when you say someone was out of their mind. I must be out of my mind to even open another electronic presence. But oh well.

I also love the date of September 9, 2009, as 090909. Even though I'm starting this account on 8/31/09, that date doesn't have the same impact as 090909.

We'll see what sort of things I'll be putting here. I'm not quite sure and I don't want to accept "members" until I know what sort of content I'm going to have here. This account, for now, is just an experiment for CITY-Computers.

 

I just added a video, as an experiment and I do like wearing my hijab while doing the video. It's a mercy to "cover up" and not have to worry about what I look like.
