i made a few changes...it now looks equally mediocre in both 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. i also have all archived blogs archived. if you ever need to go back to see what i was thinking\doing in say, my of 2002, it's all there. don't know if i'm 100% happy with everything here but it serves it's purpose of a., freshening up the look here, and b., providing me some space to add more pics over time. so there you have it. the new true blue version of thirdthoughts. any errors, be it factual, web graphics, spelling, punctuation or grammar, either percieved, or valid, occurred either during transmission, or are because you are using an antiquated obsolete browser, or have faulty equipment.
