Hello all… I’m going to jump right in… I’ve been restless with the blog. Not sure how I’ve felt about it for a while now. Do I get rid of it? Keep going? Change platforms? Change the look? Change? Stop? Change? It’s a sort of weird mantra. This annoying question. I created a page atContinue reading “Changes Afoot”

The Times They are a Changin’
I have, for months and months, and maybe even longer, been thinking about changing the title of this blog. Which, if you read the description of how I originally came up with the title for the blog, you may think is ironic. Thinking thinking thinking, mulling mulling mulling. It goes something like that. But, lifeContinue reading “The Times They are a Changin’”
The Images Are Coming
For several years now I’ve authored more than one blog. There’s Tam’s Think Tank, where I post everything from movie reviews to essays about life to music I find interesting, the work blog, TJ Parker Photography, and a blog called image-ination, where I’ve done several 365 photography projects over the years. Keeping the Think TankContinue reading “The Images Are Coming”
A Look Back
I just realized that it’s the beginning of October. I started blogging the beginning of October 2005. Yes folks… I’ve been at this a long long time. Sometimes I haven’t been the most consistent, going days or even a couple of weeks without a word, and truthfully this is the third blogging platform I’veContinue reading “A Look Back”
To Blog Or Not To Blog
I guess there is no question…
Facelift
Every once in awhile I get a hankering to mix things up here at the Think Tank. Today I changed the blog theme I use. I like this one. I realize some people have more of a problem with the white writing on the black background, but I’m going to test it out for aContinue reading “Facelift”

Wow…. I just realized I’ve passed the 100,000 hits mark on my blog. Amazing…. Thanks for reading and for continuing to come back. Much love…
Boxes to Fill and It’s Raining Outside
I’m sitting here at the computer not doing what I’m supposed to be doing, but then… exactly what am I supposed to be doing? Packing. Yes, I should be packing. Books into tubs to take, kitchen glasses, plates, etc. Those are my tasks. I need to get to them. Yet, I blog, I surf, IContinue reading “Boxes to Fill and It’s Raining Outside”
Posts Coming
We got into Urbana last night after a LONG day of driving with enough time to find a branch of our Illinois bank and make a deposit, give Kev a mini driving tour of the cities, and have a cup of custard at the Custard Cup. No time left to upload photos and blog aboutContinue reading “Posts Coming”
A Little Construction Is Needed
I was looking over my blog yesterday, and today a bit I must say, and noticed that some things have not been updated in over a year. Music preferences, books I’ve read or am reading, and such and so forth. Admittedly I’ve been a tad busy over the last several months, but now… well nowContinue reading “A Little Construction Is Needed”
2010 in review
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health: The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow. Crunchy numbers A helper monkey made this abstract painting, inspired by your stats. The average container ship can carry about 4,500 containers. This blog was viewedContinue reading “2010 in review”
Yes, Another Blog
And yes, I know I already have two going. This and image-ination. I know a person can get too blog heavy. It’s a sad fact. But there’s a reason for this madness. And here it is… This blog is about my life. Photos, stuff I like, things I’m thinking about, what we’re doing, etc. AContinue reading “Yes, Another Blog”
Speaking Of The Wedding
I just realized I’ve been so caught up in everything, and also I just finished uploading the 909 photographs I took at the wedding which was a long ass process, I haven’t posted anything about the wedding. This fact is more than lame… it’s inexcusable. So, without further ado…. I will post about the weddingContinue reading “Speaking Of The Wedding”
And Thus Ends The Onslaught
I am now pretty much done with the barrage of posts related to our lives in the last month or so. I will be going back and tagging, assigning to categories, and setting up some links within the posts if anyone is interested in learning a bit more about some of the things I wroteContinue reading “And Thus Ends The Onslaught”
An Inundation of Posts
I’m to page 36, working my way backwards to one, of my Flickr pages. I started at 57 yesterday. Don’t worry I won’t be posting everything. Just stuff I think people will find interesting. And, of course, just stuff I find interesting. :-). Man, I really need to do a better job of keeping upContinue reading “An Inundation of Posts”
Place Keeper Post 101
Yes folks… we are back from camping, back from Maggie’s birthday party, and there has been progress on the addition. Progress as in the sheet rock is almost done and the windows are supposed to come today. After that… paint. After that… tile. After that… finishing plumbing and electrical. After that… or during all ofContinue reading “Place Keeper Post 101”
Growing Blogs
Sounds a bit like if you don’t watch out my blog will attack… like a weird jungle plant or a seemingly docile pet. Fear not. Really it’s the WordPress Growing Blogs report and today the Think Tank is at #23 on the list. Not bad. Think of all the blogs in all the wordpress stratosphereContinue reading “Growing Blogs”
Testing The Twitter Link
This is sort of a non-post post. Which suddenly just made me think of post toasties. Wasn’t that a cereal once? Or possibly still? But, I digress. Here’s the deal. Most of you who know me know I’m a bonafide geek. Very nerdy, in a cool flip flops and t-shirts tokenhippygirl kinda way. I loveContinue reading “Testing The Twitter Link”
Driving
Driving back from the outback with Liz and blogging from the iPhone. Tricky eh?
Sadness By The Dashboard Light
Not to sound like Meatloaf or anything, but I was just opening up my wordpress dashboard… kind of the control room for all things blog… and noticed the stats graph. To be pun-ish and intend it, it’s a very graphic description of how many viewers I haven’t had today. bah ha ha ha! Makes meContinue reading “Sadness By The Dashboard Light”
A Photo Blog
OK readers… I’ve gone and done something some of you will consider wacky. What is this crazy thing you ask? Simply… I’ve created another blog. The reason I’ve gone and done this crazy thing is because I wanted to try something. I wanted to see if I could post a new photograph every day forContinue reading “A Photo Blog”
510
Somehow I missed the fact that I passed by 500th post without mentioning it, or really, without even noticing it. Seems I’ve been at this so long now it just wasn’t something on my radar. So, in honor of passing the milestone I will just say… wow. Who would’ve thought I’d still be at thisContinue reading “510”
By Popular Demand
You’ve spoken, and I’ve heard you. I had a few requests to change the template I was using for my blog. I had a dark background, as most of you who read regularly probably were aware. It seems the dark background was tough for some to read, so… by popular demand, I’ve changed it. AtContinue reading “By Popular Demand”
Playing Around With The Blog
Lately I’ve been trying on new looks for the blog. WordPress has several templates to choose from and me, being me, had to check out a few. If you’ve visited a couple of times you’ve probably seen some of them. The most recent is my favorite I think. I know some people don’t like theContinue reading “Playing Around With The Blog”
The Great Migration – Revisited
The Great Migration Published November 17th, 2005 Essays 1 Comment Edit The think tank has moved. I did, however, bring over my little missives from the previous site. Stay tuned…. Saturday, November 12th, 2005 8:46 am Back to Busy-ness I am amused and feeling a sense of happy contentment. It’s Friday night, and weContinue reading “The Great Migration – Revisited”
