Casablanca 70 Years Old



I watched Casablanca yesterday and was reminded it was the Best Picture in 1942. The movie is turning 70 years old then. Movies might make more money these days, but I think it'll be awhile before Hollywood comes up with a movie that appeals to so many people for so long. Description from Wikipedia: "Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid, and featuring Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis."

One of the advantages that Zazzle designers have using Adobe Design to Print is that if we use licensed images from a site like Creative Fabrica (example is an affiliate link to one buffalo plaid pattern ), this plugin will help us streamline combining patterns, elements and graphics to create something totally new, and then publish the combined design as one image to Zazzle. Even if we subscribe to the full POD option at Creative Fabrica, it is beneficial to create a unique design.

My Auxilliary Brain?

Apparently Googlie is my auxilliary brain, or so says this post . Actually, I don't agree. Not at all! As you'll note, I typed Googlie instead of Google. This has nothing to do with my inability to spell. It's my inability to type that caused that. And I think that is why when I actually typed http://www.googlie.com in a browser window I pulled up... can you guess? Did you try it? Yes, Google has purchased that domain name and is forwarding traffic to their main website. I think that is a sign they know that people can't type. Most of my spelling errors are typing related. There just aren't any new words that I can't spell. The words I make mistakes on now are the same ones I made mistakes on three decades ago in grade school. My grade school education is like the hardware in my spelling programs in my brain. I've gone through and tried to change the software and most days I can override the hardware.
