Restoration in the French Quarter

An interesting look at the restoration process of 150 + year old building in the Quarter including balcony & lattice work.

Courtyards and passageways

The physical look of the French Quarter has always captured my attention. The narrow, dark alleys that lead courtyards which seem like an oasis took much of my camera's time during my trip.

Technology Friday

Its Technology Friday kids!  Today we will be looking at a everyday household product, the DVD cleaner. 

On the front side of the DVD cleaner it states it is a laser lens cleaner, and the instruction when you pop it into your CD or DVD player welcomes you to the newest, state-of-the-art electronic cleaning system for your sensitive, laser DVD or CD player.

On the flip side of the disk, you  see this interesting, yet familiar structure.

Yes, that is a brush.  A teeny, tiny brush but, a brush nonetheless.

I checked my history on this an brushes go back to the great Egyptian era but were more readily available and became produced in larger quantities beginning in the 1700s’.

So there you have today’s Technology Friday. The brush: Cleaning your shit for centuries!
