Impressionism HD

    Hey, everyone. I have been having trouble, yet again, with my internet provider, Wild Blue. It is a great service, other than being undependable, over-priced and having strict limits on gig usage allowed. On top of that, they make you sign a two year contract.
     The good news is that I have downloaded a free app called Impressionism HD. This is an app for art lovers and those who would like to expand their horizons a bit. I am no expert on art but I enjoy it and there is no genre I enjoy more than Impressionism.
     With this app you can carry around on your I-Pad, several hundred of the greatest masterpieces of all time. Gauguin, van Gogh, Renoir, Degas and their friends! Da Vinci would have freaked out if he could have seen this.
    What I like to do with a painting is to take my time, pick out one that interests me, then meditate on it. I begin to pick out things, notice things. Soon I can begin to see the artists mood, his inspiration. Maybe I see something that reveals the season, or the time of day, or the locale. Why is the woman standing on the path and the man in the trees? Has he accosted her? Do they know one another? Is it a hot day, more suitable for the shade than the sun? The riot of flowers insures that it is indeed spring time. The two seem to be at the end of a road or a trail. Is that merely the reality...or symbolic of their relationship's duration? Are they friends, lovers, married or even acquainted? It is certainly not a true road they are on, rather more like a cow-path. Why are they dressed so formally in the heat of the day? Have they slipped away from some sort of function, perhaps for a little romance? Only Auguste Renoir knows for sure.
    One other thing is for sure. Meditating on these wonderful paintings will feed your soul, change you from the inside and make you a more peaceful, rounded person.
     From the cow-path of life, I'm CE Wills.

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to. Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends. I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As you know by now, their strategy

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away. We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours. EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them. Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
