Laptop Virtuosos

I have been quiet for a while.
Let's start out again with a cool story about computers and music: Laptop Virtuosos. I'd like to be part of that orchestra!

I also have a new book review coming up and some news about a new project. Stay tuned!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born 250 years ago today. Read more about this great composer at Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Art Journal

I started an art journal a couple of days ago. I like the idea. It gives me an opportunity to be creative in a format that's not too formal and not too large. I haven't been drawing and creating artwork for a long time, so we'll see how it goes. I don't expect to do something every day, just whenever I feel like it.

So young

I found this through I was just thinking. I act even younger than her *sigh*:

You Are 21 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Allthings2all: Project Paperclip: Science At What Price?.
I hadn't heard about all these details of the Nazi involvement of some scientists that had been hired for US projects before.

Thank you for the music

In connexions: Thank you for the music Richard Hall expresses the importance of music. I couldn't have explained better why I named my blog Joyful Song. Sometimes music makes me happy, and helps me to celebrate. At other times it helps me in the grieving process. Music can make me feel closer to God and is a way to express my faith.

What are you especially thankful for?
