During watching a movie with my kids, I use a software to skip the scene such as graphic violence, sexual content, offensive language, or drug use, as well as I also edit scenes with uncomfortably tense moments, such as a child trapped in a burning building, which might be too disturbing for some young children.

That’s it? You have a page dedicated to telling the world who you are and what you’re about, and all you can muster up is one paltry sentence?

Comment on Why I can’t play piano by quriosity

Joyce — Thanks so much for leaving your comment. Linguistic differences aside, Miss Margaret was a wonderful teacher. I still have a collection of photos taken that year in her class. She was my only teacher who ever did that. The last time I saw her was in the Colonial Store in Cameron Village when I was a teenager in the 1960s.

I also had Miss Margaret as a first grade teacher in 1963. A wonderful lady who visited each one of us at home and took pictures of us with our pets. She gave each of us a scrapbook at the end of the year filled with our best work.

Paul’s father’s sister, Olga, from Alfred Sr.’s first marriage is Mom’s mother. Mom, Sarah Lewis, is 92 years of age and has told me many interesting stories of this part of our amazing family. And yes, what a legacy!

Comment on Where the Big Green Copier Button Came From by Effective Presentation of a Website’s Navigation | Design City

[...] As humans, our brains are wired to notice contrast, things that stand out from the norm. It’s why photocopiers employ big, green start buttons. It’s also the reason that the interface on my smartphone offers a collection of colorful icons [...]

Comment on Is it true that the “Close Door” buttons on elevators don’t work? by Susanne Barrett

Susanne Barrett — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:22:30 +0000

Hi There Athinkingperson,
Maybe a little off topic, however, A great many elevators have an “open door” button and a “near door” button. The open up door button appears to At all times work (as well as sticking any type of limb into the closing doorways) but the shut door button Never is effective. It Under no circumstances Performs. In simple fact, it looks to just take longer.

I was in a crowded elevator in a subway as soon as and somebody stored pressing the “shut” button over and over. At last some lady in the elevator informed him that the elevator ran on a timer and that pressing it would get lengthier. The gentleman replied that he was an elevator repairman and that he should preferably have identified that.

Is it genuine about the timers? Or are “shut door” buttons just a worthless creation and visual way to balance out the keypad?

If there have been actually an crisis and I ended up running from an individual into an elevator, the shut door button would do not ever conserve me.
Kindest Regards
