My Brother Anthony's Birthday

Oxalis Triangularis
Also called False Shamrock or Purple Shamrock

 My brother loves his houseplants. He even keeps a list to grow the ones that are safe for his location. So I bought a wooden potted set with the shamrocks already planted and ready to grow.

This was great because he just had surgery on his right hand and it would be difficult to work with soil.  I also bought one for myself.

I took these photographs a few years ago.  My daughter bought them for me after I admired hers.


I was able to get some nice shots of its flowers.


Here is a closeup of the tiny flowers.

    I like the pot, looking good in stripes and it matches the flower.
    It's a pretty tiny flower.

    I like shamrocks in a pot too -- they're easy to grow and hard to kill.

Understanding the Introvert

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .
