I’m sitting in David David’s 3rd VMworld 2010 session on 10 Best Free Tools for vSphere Management. It’s his third session because the first two (one on Monday and one earlier today) were packed and people were actually waiting outside the door trying to get in! I guess everyone really loves free tools! Up on the stage with David is Kendrick Coleman who is chiming in on his impressions of all of the free tools from his experiences with using them. Kendrick actually rated these free tools and has a whole list of free vSphere tools on his blog

With services like Gmail, Dropbox and Apple’s MobileMe, cloud services are readily accessible to consumers and growing in popularity.

I was shopping today in my local mercantile (actually Wal-mart, but mercantile reminds me of Little House on the Prairie and I am being nostalgic today.) They had a huge aisle of Halloween candy already set up. The one that caught my eye was this huge brain-shaped bubble gum blob – gross! I passed two girls as I exited the aisle on my way to the snack aisle – I was on a quest for almonds

About.com Needlepoint Guide Cheryl Fall has some wonderful, cute designs that I love to ooh and ahh over. And, even better than that, Cheryl Fall has designs for Needlepoint that are also easily adapted for Cross Stitch! Recently Cheryl had not one but two weddings to help with! It’s no wonder that her design skills were tuned to that topic.

I was hoping to have the “Earth” section of Art Deco Spirits finished this week but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.  Life got busy this week and I can probably count the number of hours I’ve found to stitch on one hand.  I really only have myself to blame I got myself busy, probably worked out/ran a little too much.  I’m feeling a bit burnt out, and just need to try to slow down and

Flowers are blooming all around – most of them in my little flower bed are from weeds right now, but I still enjoy looking out at them. It has been super hot lately at my house, but it has still been raining, so the grass and weeds have been taking off. We ended up mowing only around the house this past week

StillWater2 shared the following tip for beginning stitchers recently: When I first started stitching, I had problems with what to do with thread ends on the back of my projects. I found the easiest way to fix this was to use the smallest crochet hook I could find and weave those ends under the backs of the stitches and then trim off the tiny ends that are left.
