About Me     I have been in the IT business for over 35 years, starting as a mainframe operator to programmer, systems analyst, manager, director and Vice President of Technology. Because of some health issues I now find myself with lots of free time which I'm using to learn more about the online cyberworld. My online experience goes back to the early 1980's when I had one of those first CompuServe accounts (on a Commodore 64), then experience with BBSs (with a 300 baud modem), to AOL, then Netscape Navigator, IE, Firefox, et al. With my new "free time" I'm trying to explore and understand the Internet of the 21st century - Web 2.0, etc. References     Manual of Style The Sandbox Edit Summary Legend Picture Tutorial Naming Conventions WikiProject Albums WikiProject CCM WikiProject Tennessee Infoboxes Infobox Musical Artist Infobox Album Image Use Policy Image Copyright Tags/Non-free Wikipedia:Publicity photos Album Cover Fair Use Rational Template Watched Pages     If you would like to collaborate on any of these projects, please leave a message on my talk page.

American Boychoir [1] Giancarlo Guerrero Martha Rivers Ingram (Symphony Center, photo) Photo of the Day     Venus Anadyomene is an oil-on-canvas painting by Titian, dating to around 1520. It depicts the Greek goddess Venus rising from the sea and wringing her hair, with a shell visible at the bottom left, taken from a description of Venus by the Greek poet Hesiod in which she was born fully-grown from a shell. The wringing of her hair is a direct imitation of Apelles's lost masterwork, also called Venus Anadyomene. The painting is in good condition and achieved public ownership in 2003 when it was purchased from Francis Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland. It is now in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland.
