I recently visited LibraryBytes, a great blog about libraries and new technology, for the first time. There’s a ton of interesting info, but this first post I visited showed my how to find out about my Online DNA:
This then lead me to this very cool (and eerie?) video of an installation by the Sociable Media Group at the MIT Museum. Very cool installation. ENJOY!!!
Bummer, it won’t embed, here: Link HERE!!!

I cheated on WordPress. I stepped away from WordPress.com for a moment, frustrated with it’s lack of a LibraryThing widget. Blast you WordPress!!! I set up a blog with BLOGGER. But I just couldn’t follow through. I met Blogger in the hotel bar for drinks, got into the elevator, but could not bring myself to the hotel room – although Blogger and I did make out in the elevator.
I knew it was wrong, so I have returned to WordPress, feeling badly, knowing it was wrong to leave, but also knowing it takes two to maintain a relationship. So I beg you please, WordPress, who I adore, can you manage a LibraryThing widget?
In an effort to refresh myself in this relationship, I have moved to this new WordPress address, and moved all of my blog postings/belongings with me.
(I was at margothere.wordpress.com; same blog name, different address; yes, it’s confusing, but now it’s all matchy.)
I am hoping this fresh start will move WordPress and I forward together.

I have resolved to keep up with IF; this is the only image that has come to mind all week.
I always have a lot of ideas and they can overwhelm me, so I resolve to maintain some serenity amongst my thoughts and ideas.

Finally, I am getting back to Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “clandestine”, and immediately I cannot be serious and have the image of Groucho disguise glasses sitting in a drawer with a squirt gun, fake id’s and passports, pepper gum and other tools of the sneaky world. Before I could settle on a sketch, I saw a photo of a friends daughter with the groucho glasses on – adorable on this already expressive wee child – and it made me think of a candy sneak. So here’s my take on “Clandestine”, via my lovely friend’s little gal.

I started school the week of August 25th and WOW, have I had an adjustment. I haven’t journaled, painted, blogged, SparkPeopled, or read more than three pages at a time for pleasure.
However, I have got my kids settled into the new school year, kept my weight steady, done laundry, cooked a few meals, had a few dates, read and watched a LOT of political news, and really fallen in love with my Library Information Technology courses. LOVE them. I lucked into a program that is way more cool than I expected.
And, I did just receive info that my Bouree – Eight of Hearts will be on the European Papers poster. Yippy! Who cares if perhaps they didn’t have any other Eight of Hearts…
So, hello lonely blog. I need to get busy. I miss this outlet, and visiting those blogs I love.
Yeh, Bourree!

Can I detach myself from the political circus? I am the monkey and the monkey is me…
This was my second idea for “detach”; my first was sending my kids off on their first days of school. However, as I was getting started, I overheard my six-year-old son repeating lines from a political ad for a man I am not particularly fond of. It was an “attack” ad that is constantly played during the Olympics. Hearing the negative words from my sons mouth – with the same intonation as the voice-over – got me to this political circus. So, can I – SHOULD I – detach myself from the circus? See no “evil”? Speak no “evil”? Hear no “evil”? hmmm.
