Morse Code for UPDATE!!!. A language born out of deliberation, wonder, technology and inspiration. With very little necessity in mind, Samuel Finley Breese Morse developed the telegraph and the code which slowly took over the world as the first means of instant communication between two distant locations. And Now? … This is all but a dead language, except for the occasional movie about a POW locked away with nothing but rocks and water pipes running through his penitentiary. Latin is another “dead language”, however, after some careful thought and reading; I wondered why. It may have been forgotten because of our culture’s “verbal maturity” but it truly is a foundation of our [English] language (and many others). By nature I love to find out how things operate. It’s probably why I studied to be an engineer. But even more glorious than mechanical construction, would be to know how our own English language originated and developed. If I had been taught Latin before reading all that Plato, Aristotle, and Charles Dickens, like most students, I would have obtained a much better grasp of understanding dialect and prose. As the Roman poet Virgil put it “Fortunate the man who can understand the causes of things.” This is the article that spurred my thoughts this evening: “Bring back Caesar’s tongue” Please read and educate yourselves.
This weekend was a much deserved; relaxing and personal. *think loungin’ with books, a Spartacus movie, and some turns* I updated some of the site by ripping some image map code and I decided the color needed to be brighter. On some monitors this site may look a little “cloudy”, but as soon as I get back to Photoshop it will be all good!
I also completed the move of my pics to a new online album. I added some pics of my vacation in St. George, UTAH. I’ll post my article reviewing the Green Valley Spa, regardless if it gets published or not. More background to follow, but for now check the pics.
I uploaded pics of the White Water Rafting trip I had two weeks ago. Still feelin’ the rush of those IVs!
