FLASH !!!

My "MySines" iPad application is now for sale on iTunes!  It's under the Health or Lifestyle sections.  Whew, that was a lot of work learning all XCode, IB, Objective-C, libraries, etc.

I won't get rich, but it's been rewarding and I hope people find it beneficial in their lives.

There is no "Right" way.

It's not that your way is not the right way, it's that everyone has their own right way.  So which is the right way?  Is there a right way? Software development is full of discussions that revolve about the "right" way of doing something. The terms used in discussing software design, tools and implementation are so undefined as to make them meaningless.  Code is not designed and written in a vacuum, it's designed by real people in real companies, each with their own constraints and issues.  Code that may look like a hack could have been the result of an employee dragged out of bed at 2am by a company shirt that only cared that they they did not lose their personal client the next morning.  Everything must be looked at in context.  A project written to "Best Practices" may never be finished before development funding dries up.   Goals, vision, constraints and thoughts should be somewhat aligned for project to be successful (or at least enjoyable ...

So THIS is My Style?

 If I play around long enough my style will appear.  I'm guessing that this is kind of it.  I'll keep working on other techniques in watercolor but for now this appears to be my style. I do like it and others appear (to my face) to also like this.  Not every one of my paintings is a success.  About 1/3 so far, but when they do I am rather pleased that anything good comes out of it at all. I do love color.  Color is happy and outdoors is full of color, be it the west or back east with the greens.  Color color color. Also doing some painting on hot press paper and see how that goes. Later......
