This video was emailed to me today, and I have never seen this before, but that’s not to say it’s a new video, from what I have noticed it’s about two years old, but it is still amazing to watch.
Kim Komando’s Quote – "This fountain can actually make pictures and words with falling water. It’s been described as working like an inkjet printer. Hundreds of nozzles create precise streams of water. Timed just right, images are created."
6 days ago, was the 1 month point for howbits.com. I have owned this website for a little under a year, but I have never used it for anything until I created this blog, which was February 4th. I am constantly trying out new ideas and testing designs to improve this website. So today I have decided, since it’s somewhat of a day off for me, that I am going to update some things on the website which is a result as some test I have been running.
So as a result, my website may be a little slow loading at times as I am uploading some files, new plugins, and various other additions to the website.
I want to do a Thank You shout out to all my readers, subscribers, and daily visitors. As of last week, Howbits.com is now receiving over 300 unique visitors a day, and Picbits has gone over 400 unique visitors a day, and increasing at a nice pace. On a side note – I am still getting my sea legs for blogging and finding my niche for this website. I really do believe that it takes a few weeks to a couple months to find your spot on the internet and to get into the habit of blogging. In the last 4 weeks as my writing skills, thought processes, and how I explain things have improved; I have gone over my old articles and updated them and continue to make subtle changes to each one. I do believe that a website / blog is never finished, and in keeping with this, I monitor my website statistics and make changes wherever need be to make sure that this website is Web surfer friendly and approved 
I will be done with the renovations in about 2 hours from this posting, I try to go over every part of the website to make sure everything is working as intended. Once I know that everything is working then I go and pester some friends to go and try it out. Then I do the switch so that the updates are viewable to everyone else on the website.
This list has been around for awhile but it’s some great advice and humorous, so enjoy the read.
* Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
* If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it!
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
* Never buy a car you can’t push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
* Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
