I often think I shoulda been a Gemini instead of a Leo — I’ve got a dual personality to rival Beyonce and Sasha. Or maybe Jekyll and Hyde. Superman and Clark Kent. Ziggy and Bowie. Anyway, my right brain wants to wallow in image and my left in words. Occasionally the twain meet but most of the time, they have separate apartments.

The interwebs is truly a revolution as far as visual stimulation goes. Back in the dark ages, you had to do things like buy magazines and cut pictures out of them and then stick them  in your fire-hazard of a filing cabinet. Now all you have to do is turn on the computer and surf for ten minutes to find a year’s worth of downloadable inspiration.

Which is what I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing lately instead of writing. It’s occurred to me that it would be fun to share both sides of my brain with my fellow zombies. Rather than fill up ye olde Rib with my visual scrapbookings, I’ve decided to start stashing them all in a more-or-less-image-only tumblr blog, creatively named uppityrib too rib eye. You can either go there directly or view it from the Rib’s Tumblr page.

I’ve also synched the feeds to the Rib and Tumblr and Facebook and Twitter and Jesus knows what else, I’ve synched the shit out of everything lately.  I can’t even remember how I did most of it, it’s all weird web alchemy to me.
