BrainStream: Pyra is dead. Long live

Pyra is dead. Long live Pyra! As you can see from my comments, I truly believe Pyra has some excellent revenue possibilities during a time when .com companies are failing. I'll be the first to admit that if it wasn't for Pyra, I wouldn't have a Web site. I don't have time to sit there and format posts, FTP them over etc. I'm having enough hell with the new ZOT Web site. Not that I mind, it was a great learning experience and I'll feel less guilty about tech. editing a book chapter on CSS.

But I digress.....I can easily see a content management company like Information Architects, Vignette or hell, even a Macromedia Blogger integration into UltraDev or something. It is possible, and I will pay for a Blogger Pro. It not only has great use for personal vanity sites but also has possibilities as a way to manage corporate communications through intranet-based Weblogs.

BrainStream: I took my second herbal

I took my second herbal class last night. Just as great as the first. This one was about Herbal First Aid. We learned about the various health uses of herbs in more detail than the previous class and discussed them more in terms of emergency situations or minor accidents. Teri also used a "Survivor" metaphor discussing how certain herbs would be helpful on an island or desert environment when you have nothing else. Still working on transcribing my notes from both last week and this week. I refilled on my Rosemary Gladstar Rest Assured tea, bought some Rescue Remedy (which can be used on the cats as well), grabbed some lavender for general pusposes and eucalyptus oil to place in my humidifier since it kills airborn germs and disease. Next week? Aromatherapy I. I hope to bring the wife along to this one.
