NEW GOO!

New Desktop - Not sure quite what it is, but "Lady Luck" keeps gracing the view of Master Monkie Bradford Wiles' photographic equipment. What's more, they turn out to be teeny tiny cell phones. So let's get on down to the more informative section to find the skinny on the latest "wallpaper" skins.

Nature - The last couple of pics to grace Nature's Gallery have been from me trusty iPhone. This week, whilst picking the Gallery pic (Wednesday the 29th to be exact), I found a snapshot on my old LG cell phone taken that very day - exactly one year ago. Its name? Shore Nuff! This surprisingly crisp capture of Alcova Lake a few miles west of Casper Wyoming is actually just a head spin to the left from the previously posted LakeSet. This one was an hour or so earlier. Some say amazing, but I just call it "luck." Either way, enjoy!

 

Thanks Department --

To all of you...

For taking the time to stop by for a view!

THANK YOU!

Rampant Mac Turns 10! - We all knew that Sir Scott Chitwood was OLD, but how old is he? Well, think dirt. He sits alongside that fabled stretch of internet dirt road somewhere at the end of the World Wide Web. Not rock, not gravel, nor tar...but DIRT! And at the end of that trusty ol' trail lies the Best Desktop Pixel Powerhouse this side of the GUI Universe known as Rampant Mac. Though Scott has never officially given up his graceful age of antiquity, we do know that his long standing home of Mac greatness is now TEN YEARS OF AGE! Holy crap...That's right, Rampant Mac is years 10 years old. Imagine how old that makes Scott! =) But never the no-minded Monkie, point your browser over to Rampant Mac, check out the best desktops in the west (or any place else for that matter), and wish the old Scottster a big round of congrats!

Blood Test

Two children were sitting outside a clinic. One of them was crying very loudly.

2nd Child: Why are you crying?

1st Child: I came here for a blood test.

2nd Child: So? Are you afraid?

1st Child: No. For the blood test, they cut my finger.

At this, the second one started crying profusely.

The first one was astonished.

1st Child: Why are you crying now?

2nd Child: I came for a urine test.

Monkie Business | Bananas

At The Top: Monkie Biz In Brief - Good day all. A busy week is ahead, so updates may be short-dates instead. So as we pluck the letters hither and thither, we'll take a look At The Top for the latest in...So the only word that seems to rhyme is splitter or spitter...?

Meanwhile, Iconology has announced Comics by comiXology, an iPhone comic store and reader in your hand and available at the iTunes AppStore.

Also up in information is LightWay as they have announced the release of 4 new updates: LightWayText 4.5, iText 3.5, iText Express 3.2.1, and iText Pro '09 3.2.1. Shortly enough, that's a LOT of text!

So, what comes next? As always there's a dab of Monkie Business and a bit of Bananas for your Monday fun. Did I just say something about Monday fun? Isn't that like an oxymoron? Or perhaps a Monkie moron? Or perhaps a Song Sung Blue (weeping like a willow)? Or maybe the sun's so bright, "I gotta where shades?" SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!!

Odds and Ends

Shorts In L.A. - Los Angeles's full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula --and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size: L.A. However, scholars have determined from official documents of Governor Felipe de Neve, Commandant General de la Croix and Viceroy Bucareli that the settlement was simply named El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles (The Town of the Queen of the Angels).

The ABC's of Oz - The name for Oz in the "Wizard of Oz" was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence "Oz."

Pie In the Sky - If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Old Fart

One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leave her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to fall over sideways in her chair.

Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning.

Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.

They ask,"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"

"It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
