Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

GREAT SHOT, AND NOW A RECIPE FOR YOUR GNOCCHI: Gnocchi with Artichokes and Walnuts Artichokes and walnuts might sound like an unusual combination, but instead work quite well, and are perfect with gnocchi. To serve 4: Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients: •2 pounds (800 g) potato gnocchi •4 artichokes •4 ounces (100 g) chopped walnut meats •A small clove of garlic •The juice of a lemon •A sprig of thyme •Olive oil Preparation: Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Prepare the artichokes, stripping away the tough outer leaves, trimming the top, and peeling the exterior part of the stem (see instructions if need be). Sliver them lengthwise, and put them in the acidulated water to keep them from darkening. Drain them well, and cook them in 2 tablespoons of oil for about 10 minutes. Season them to taste with salt and pepper, and add the leaves from the sprig of thyme. While they're cooking, set a pot of water to boil. Mince the walnuts and the garlic, and toast them in 4 tablespoons of hot oil for a few seconds. Salt the pot of water when it comes to a boil and cook the gnocchi. Season them with the artichokes and the walnuts, and a sprinkling of more thyme leaves. Yield: 5 servings gnocchi with artichokes and walnuts. CIAO!
