Kicking Azeroth

Modern Jewelcrafter

2010-05-18T20:03:00.001-07:00

I love to make jewelry! I've always been a big vintage and costume jewelry connoisseur, and after discovering that you can make pieces using old jewelry, I was hooked! There are a lot of resources that you can find online to help you get started in your hobby, but some of the best information that you can find will come from books at your local library.

I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and esoteric conversations. When not buried in work behind the computer, I can be found working on the next big thing. -Posted by Lyn Valerie

Final

On May 14, 1998 the final Seinfeld episode was broadcast. I observe a (very brief) moment of silence.

On This Day - May 12

On this day in 1941 Konrad Zuse presented the Z3, the world's first working programmable, fully automatic computer, in Berlin. In a sense one could trace this post's genesis to that red-letter day.

Subtly Bright

2010-05-10T10:33:00.001-07:00

Overcast and cooler today. However, Russ the Weatherman at News 1130 has all but removed any chance of showers from the forecast, so at least we're likely going to stay dry. It's not so cool as to be a problem, that's for sure. Short sleeves are fine unless you're standing around in the shade.

There is enough sunshine to make the trees gleam, but it is all being filtered by the clouds overhead. No glare, but quite bright.

Sunshine, blue sky today. Everything seems spontaneously better on a day like this!

Apropos of nothing, Led Zeppelin's song "The Ocean" continues to rock the house. That is all.

Happy May 5th Everyone!

From wikipedia:

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at theBattle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.^[1][2] While not an "obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, it is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla, and in the United States.^[3][4]

Cinco de Mayo is not "an obligatory federal holiday" in Mexico, but rather a holiday that can be observed voluntarily.^[5][6] While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States (also voluntarily) and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.^[7] Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,^[8] which actually is September 16,^[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.^[10]

The World of Warcraft takes place chiefly in Azeroth, the planet on which the Alliance and the Horde clash.
